I watched myself on video-tape today of a game a few weeks ago. I ususally use a 1/2 butterfly, mainly because I can't spread my pads out very far yet. I noticed that when I went down, I was lifting my stick up and sweeping it away from myself before the puck got there on my descent.
I'm wondering if when i'm standing upright, would it be best to just snap my pads together instead of going down into a butterfly?
heheh Geezer, nothing too important

Just an insulator mat and the weather-strip around the door seal.
