We do that seam all the time because it's from the wall all the way across the ice to outside slot.
That's where Taylor Hall takes the one-timer from.
every goalie i coach can get across there on their feet on this particular save and many of them the puck comes across the middle of the ice no screen on the pass he butterflies when the puck is coming through the slot that's why he's late that's why he's got to recover flashy and make a save
So I'm telling you that I couldn't commentate because everybody would be going nuts here on this save, which you should.
It's a great save.
It's a highlight reel looking save.
But to me, there's critical error in that save, which is why he has to scramble.
I had this issue when I played with Henrik Kipper.
Guys at the back of the bus after the game, Valley, you know, he went right by his glove on that one and, you know, right by his blocker on that one.
Shouldn't Hank have had it?
And I'd say, guys, the pass came from below the goal line.
It went to the dot.
It went across the ice.
And then it beat him around his blocker.
Do you understand that he's always there?
It goes through him because he's so positionally sound.
It looks like he's getting beat by it.
Nine out of ten other goalies in this league right now, you'd say he had no chance.
Some goalies are so responsible, they almost look worse because the puck goes by them versus having a goal that goes in because they're not there at all and not responsible.
Allmark is the highest level of talent.
