Bernie, do you think this is something that some people just can't do? Or do you think anyone can teach themselves to be a better puck handler? I'm thinking of Irbe. He's got a rep for being a terrible puck handler, and a few years ago he was. Yet last year in the goalie shooting contest at the all-star break, he came in second! When I practice my shooting alone, I do fine. I can ice it easily, put it over the glass, etc. BUT as soon as I try it in a game situation I start screwing up like crazy. I don't even try to play the puck anymore. It just seems like too much of a risk considering how inconsistant I am.
