I play all breakaways exactly the same way. I get as far out of the crease as possible to cut the angle (AT LEAST to the hash marks). As long as you match the shooters speed backwards, it doesn't matter what he tries to do, because he can't get around you AND he can't see any net. I do breakaways totally on autopilot, no excitement or stress, and I stop about 19 out of 20 of them. Of course it's the only thing about my game that DOESN'T need help! I would much rather see a player carry the puck to the net than to shoot from far out. Those are the ones that end up beating me for no apparent reason.
