Отражение бросков PUCK-STOPPING SKILLS Every scoring opportunity has three parts to it: what happens before the shot, what happens the moment the puck is released toward the goal, and what happens after the initial action. Before the Shot Before the shot, the goalie has to be set in a proper stance, in the right place, and aware of everything that is happening in the area (who might deflect a shot, who might get a rebound, where helpful teammates are, and so on). At Moment of Release When the puck is released, the goalie must be able to execute any number of save techniques efficiently. All moves begin from the balanced stance discussed earlier. Often, one side of the body initiates a move and the other makes the save. For example, a puck heading low to the goalie’s left side will likely be stopped by a piece of equipment on that side: a pad, a glove, or the stick moving in that direction. But the movement will likely be initiated by the right skate pushing off its inside edge and moving the body to the left. The goalie’s eyes should follow the puck directly into the piece of equipment that is stopping the puck and, equally important, follow the puck where it goes afterward, in case there’s a second shot. The goalie must move efficiently. That is, the goalie should move only what must move, where it must move. Large, dramatic moves are often unnecessary and even counterproductive because they can leave a goalie out of position for a rebound. Everything should move in harmony toward the puck. Make sure the body isn’t fighting itself. For example, on a shot low to the left, a goalie sometimes moves his left pad and lower body left toward the puck, while his head and upper body lean back to the right. This is not an efficient move. Everything must move left toward the puck. After the Initial Action The after part of a scoring opportunity involves recovering to the stance, perhaps tying up or clearing loose pucks, or maybe even facing a second shot (a rebound). Goalies should stop shots along the ice with the stick, backed up by the pads or skates. Long ago, they were taught to make actual skate saves, but that doesn’t happen today. Encourage your goalies to stay on their feet whenever possible, stopping the puck by moving the stick along the ice, backed up by skates. When the shot is on the corner or comes through traffic, the goalie can back up the stick with a full pad dropped flush to the ice. Sticks can direct pucks with more precision than pads alone. Just dropping and allowing the puck to hit the pads often leads to dangerous rebounds out front. High shots can be caught or trapped against the body. Shots high to the stick side can be deflected away by turning the blocker at the moment of impact. Goalies must take care to avoid directing those shots out front or to opposing players. Shots directly at the goalie often cause more problems than those to the sides. Many goalies freeze and let those shots deflect off the body. On-ice shots should be cushioned by the stick as they are stopped, then cleared or tied up. Higher shots may be trapped against the body if not caught or deflected cleanly. Deflected shots and shots through screens can be dangerous and tricky, but they are not unstoppable. Goalies must play swivel-headed, looking for potential deflectors in the area. When a shot is sent toward a potential deflector, the goalie must move, either upright or down, and be centered on the stick causing the deflection. The goalie should move as close to the point of deflection as possible, just as he should move out on screens. The purpose of this aggressive positioning is to limit direct lines from puck to open net.
