Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

And I'm on my stomach, right, guys?

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

The puck can't go far side unless two things happen.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

Your brutal off angle, which was the case for Vasilevsky, and you go down early because it went over his glove.

The rope that went through to the puck, it went by Ty Conklin's knee.

Like his left knee was where the rope was.

If you're standing at the top of the crease, you can't go high glove.

It's an impossible shot unless you make two mistakes positionally.

And if I'm explaining goaltending to somebody for the first time, you have to understand that you need positioning.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

To get positioning, you need angle, depth, squareness, timing, and movement.

To get scored on from there, you need two of those things to go critically wrong.

I was listening to Simmer yesterday with his record and on your show.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

And, you know, it's what I'm seeing too, fellas.

It's a different guy now.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

And I don't know if it's physically or what's going on with him.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

But even on all the shots from the point this year, guys, he had the fourth worst save percentage on net front.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

And what do we see that is critical to success in the postseason?

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

Having a successful net front, coverage defensively, clearing rebounds, broken plays, but having a goalie that can save them.
