Great work as always, Jimmy. I found this discussion particularly useful, because a few years back I was having a lot of trouble with left hand shooters coming down the left wing and beating me short side. often from much closer to the boards than on this play. Very embarrassing. The problem I was having is that I was not playing enough of an overlap. Knowing what a left handed shooter would see from that position, I didn't want to show him a lot of that far side. Unfortunately, as a result of not seeing anything far side, they'd just put it short side, and it kept beating me. I was getting very frustrated because, 1, getting beat short side just sucks, but 2, I just felt like the angle they were shooting from was so poor that those short side shots should be easy saves. I finally figured out that I needed to play more of an overlap, and that mitigated a lot of those bad goals.. After watching this video, I think another issue I was having is that I was flattening too much AND not playing enough of an overlap, so I was opening up all sorts of short side weaknesses.

What are the odds he just didn’t realize he was overlapping near side that much
Loved this! I hadn’t thought about the difference in perspective of where the shooter’s eyes are vs where the puck is before.
He needs to try the free trial elvis did lol
Amazing, keep making these
Lol dude. That goal is on 3 from Detroit. He's making sure his right post is covered and the defense is supposed to cover his left. Not his fault.
Having a DH ratings for masks is lol. Everyone's was better than his!
