Joseph (and--I believe--Tugnutt) both do the same thing, whenever they have time, they put the butt of their stick into their catch glove and run their blocker down to the paddle. It's the reverse of "proper" goalie stickhandling, because they're both left-hand catches and right-hand shots. It doesn't actually make their execution worse, but it means they take longer to handle a puck than a "proper" goalie--and are more prone to mistakes--and opposing teams (ie Buffalo in last years playoff against Toronto) would rush to put pressure on CuJo whenever he was out to handle a puck.
