hey just found this vid through lots of stance searching on google, really appreciate the logic and work you put into goalie stances/positioning. Hope your channel rakes in the support it needs! Gonna take ur advice and toss u a sub :)
Ive been goalie in nhl games b4 eashl was a game mode and this blew my mind. Thanks for showing this really important factor this year especially when rebounds/bounces are so dangerous
I play as a 5'11 190 pound butterfly. I use stance 17 cause it holds that glove up high. I find the taller you make your goalie his legs can screw you over as round the post
Yeah I'm having a hard time training my brain to adjust to the extra movement needed with it because I'm so comfortable with the one movement stance but we getting there .
stance doesnt matter. pls dont listen to this video. the methods to test are poor. you state you’ve tested this by playing 53~ games in 6’s. you also said you’ve tried different builds roughly every 3 games (different heights, etc). therefore, it is unreliable to know what caused the impact on rebounds or animations that tou claim is caused by stances - and its much more likely the change in builds had the most/all of the impact. meanwhile, professional esport goalies who play vs the best human offenses in the game have equivocally shown that stances dont impact anything beside where your goalie stands when not animating (should a puck reach your goalie without animating) nothing you say here shows any true attempt at controlled testing - all the shots from the computer practice mode were different, and therefore could be the cause for changes in rebound. i noticed no discernable difference between the two stances when you were facing shots. a good method to test would be having a human shoot 50 shots the same way. then repeat from various positions + track the outcomes. then, change the stance and repeat. this is snake oil at best.
I play 6s games to test out in games , I been testing this stuff for yrs now , i have multiple people that we test in practice mode to see where rebounds go etc . When animation starts and on and on . The is the first yr that we actually noticed a difference in rebounds especially. All the other yrs stance was a comfort thing . How it helped you move in the crease and in my stance videos from the past this has been what was stated . When you as a human is playing net if a certain stance made you feel more comfortable, even on the more elementary level, how does that not matter . But hey to each their own .
hey Will Mr Hater drinking your Haterade.. Why dont you go make a video for us then showing why it DOESNT matter instead of hating on the quality helpful content Ice provides. I dont see you trying to help goalies get better in nhl 23...
