What would be cool is to see a plaque on the wall between those two big pictures holding Jaxsons Puck for when he scored a goal and a shutout to make history against the Wolves.
So sad to see the Blackhawks didn't step up and keep you, especially after the history making goalie goal and shutout against the wolves. I hope you were able to get the puck on the plaque I gave you and show it off. At least I appreciate all you did last season!
@@AfganistanBaby22If you try something a little more slim, it might solve the issue. Those knee pads are more girthy than some. Otherwise you probably need to have a shoe repair guy sew on some longer elastic
By far, one of the best videos out there on the 5 hole coverage. Love how you showed us what exactly is happening behind the knees and legs. THAT is what I wanted to see. Gotta see what's going on back there, and no video has done that except yours! Bravo!!
Not a fan of the taps. Its easy to know where you are in the net if soend time there. I did the taps as a kid before the butterfly was a thing. Now that things have changed i feel youre wasting time reaching over even if it is just a foot. Take that time to position yourself. If they are coming in from the boards (at my rink) and they get to the blue line at the board, your right foot should be at or just over the point of your crease. If they are at the left blue line at the boards your left foot is at or just over the point of the crease. If they are coming in center ice, you should know where center of the crease is because youve been standing there. Take that extra time to get out in front and start making your adjustments. No sense coming out a second or 2 late because you're tapping a post you already know is there.
I just got an eflex 5.9. I've been storing it open with a object, storing it closed with object. Baking it, clamping it, working it out for days. How long does it take to break in?
This is just what i need. I’m 50 and feel like I forgot how to goalie after a hip injury and arthritis in the hip setting in. I’m flopping all over the place when sliding. I need to go all the way back to the basics and try and retrain my hip and keep my torso up.
I am very thankful for your video as my son has the exact same junior CCM glove you showed and had the exact same problem (bought it second hand and was like that). I thought his hand was simply not big or strong enough to close the glove, but realized there was an issue when he took MY senior glove and was able to close and open it with no problem. I put his glove in the oven @150F for 10 min, put a stick in it like you did and put it in the freezer for the night. It looks way better this morning and will be able to tell if the problem is resolved tonight after his game. Thanks again!
Great video. I'm going to be sharing these break-in videos with my goalies. So, so many sessions of parents saying "Yeah. I'd like you to work on their glove, they're having trouble catching pucks." Then I get on the ice and the glove is essentially a mail slot for pucks, zero break-in.
First!! Thanks!!! Bauer's also seem to get mushy palms. Ccm's seem to have issues breaking in, and restiffen, or something. Thanks so, so much. I've bought and sold 10? Cause my son is picky. I wonder how much time/energy I could have saved. His 2x int I did fix, it was worlds better. But, uh, it took me, forever. I can't believe a softball does anything in some gloves, as the pockets are huge. I'll try it again. I have also used a recorder shaft (at least good for something! Haha) as a mini stick. Also, parents, buying used stuff is a time saver, just sanitize or ozone it, gets rid of some of smells. No break-in. Saves $.
I always fill the pocket with tennis balls after a game and tie it shut with skate lace for 24 hours while it's wet from the game. Then I wedge it open for 24 hours.
To me it looks like this is most applicable inside 5 feet or so? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for me seeing my glove in my vision helps me track the puck better and get my body and eyes behind it. Sure once it gets in tight, I think you have to start looking at blocking net and low coverage. Great analysis on the small box a player has in tight. I gotta get back in there for adult session during the day. Great video Jeff (sounded like Jeff)
Totally agree with everything here but I think an important thing to understand is that holding your glove in a ready position out in front of you is meant to be ideal for making a reactive save. What you’ve highlighted in this video is the goalie taking a blocking stance where he won’t have any opportunity to react to the shot. He’s simply trying to be in the way before the shot is released. Extending the glove out in front of you for a blocking stance will give you the advantage of covering more net vertically. Holding it back in the stance like you see in the video he is maximizing his coverage vertically and laterally. It’s a good observation but I think it could use some explanation.
i'm glad you are training them out of too much knee sliding. the NHL has a massive issue with this now. I feel like since everyone is now going after tall goaltenders they feel they can still fill the net on their knees... but i'm seeing goal after goal that could be avoided if they'd stay on their feet a bit more. Brodeur was a good size but he stood as much as he could. very few people were as fast down and up like Patrick Roy was, but he was a great example of 'just enough' butterfly. when the puck was being moved around behind his net, he stayed on his feet, and whipped back and forth post to post with his stick perfectly placed to stop a wrap. and if it got tossed out in front of the net, he was standing and able to challenge forward to cut the angle. This needs to make a comeback.
Jesus Is with you He is not against you and He will make a way. Put your trust in Him He loves you so very much. Turn away from all evil and live for Christ He is coming soon. You are amazing now spread His gospel. You have a very compassionate heart give Him all glory and honor.❤️✝️Praise Jesus through all situations.
Nice that someone takes the time to train these young kids. When I grew up, 72-years ago, we never really had any formal training like they do not and you can really see the difference in the quality of play, goal tending, etc. Congrats to the coach and kids who take to the time to really learn.
Thank you very much for this! I’m 41 and just decided to relearn goaltending after playing the late-1990s style for 20 years. Mechanically I’m probably about where the little kid in this video is so it’s nice to know where to start focusing on.
Came here because I've always played D. We needed a goalie a few months ago in beer league and took the net. Didn't set the world on fire, but I'm accruing equipment and want to get into it. I stacked the pads successfully in the game, but I'd prefer to not do that again.
The 591 is unreal! With the fingerless stalls it's so comfy. I did have the loosen the perimeter cord to give the outer shell some extra movement and adjusted the cord on the cuff. Though afterwards this glove closes sooo well its insanely comfy and closes easier than any ccm(rbk) glove I've ever owned.
