If I get in good position and have good form, then that is about all I can do against an 80 mph shot. Sorry for previous one. I get a lot of goalies visiting the Ask the Eagle. The goal scorers don't seem to have as many questions. I think what your asking me is what is my definition of a save.
Good goalies make hard saves look easy.
They always seem to be standing in the right place and the puck just hits them without them having to move. They position themselves so that the shooter has less net to shoot at, that's playing the percentages and playing a positionally strong game. If you play positionally strong, there are going to be pucks you don't see that hit you. It sounds to me like you've develop into a pretty good positional goalie. Hello, Wanda, hope you are well.
