skitch, I have the same problem often at pick-ups. Those skate in or breakaways are absolutely USELESS to me.
We (goalies) really need the long shots to get timing and exercise the eye muscles. Tracking a fast moving puck is hard.
The most disciplined warm up was back in my college days. Start off with shots from the blue line. Everyone takes a turn firing in order across the line. There are variants.
After that, then we had two lines form at the goal line. One side skates out for a pass in the high slot and a quick shot (no breakaways). The other side passes. Sides alternate.
Everyone gets a good warm-up. Worked for me.
