    Goaltending in the Finals - Off Angle Episode #32

    In this episode, we talk all about different things we've seen from the goalies in the Finals, particularly Freddie Andersen and Brandon Bussi. We discuss good things we've seen from them, as well as some ways we think they could be better. We talk about how sliding out of the net led to the unfortunate overtime goal in Game #3, and why sliding out of the net is rarely a good idea. Then, we give a small preview about why watching hockey is important for goalie development, and discuss one of our favorite goalies to watch that you may not yet know about.

    Wallstedt and the Mistimed RVH - Off Angle Episode #31

    If you've been online at all in the last week, you've seen coaches and others online breaking down Mackinnon's high short side tying goal against Wallstedt in the dying minutes of Game 5 against the Avalanche. We summarize what people have been saying online, evaluate why he chose to play that situation a particular way, and give our opinions on how he could have played it differently. Then, we go into some recent comments about NHL goaltender workload. Can goalies still play 65 games in today's day and age of the NHL? We debate whether they can or can't.

    Butterfly Impact on Hip Health and How to Stay Healthy - Off Angle Episode #30

    In this episode, we discuss an article that was posted by the NHL this season about how the butterfly is affecting the hip health of goaltenders. The butterfly's detrimental effect on hip health used to be speculation, but now the NHL is taking it seriously, tracking how often their goalies butterfly so they can manage their hip health. After going through the many points the article makes, we then dive into what we believe the best ways are to keep your hips healthy despite having to butterfly constantly as a goaltender.

    Tips For Being a Goalie Parent - Off Angle Episode #28

    In today's episode, we begin with discussing things we've seen in this already short offseason, like Bob's new haircut. Then, we dive into tips for being the best goalie parent you can be, inspired by Martin Brodeur's comments in a recent article with InGoal Magazine. We talk about how he approaches being a goalie parent as the NHL leader in wins, shutouts, and games played, and how you can do the same things he does as a goalie parent, even if you have never played goalie at all!

    How to Improve at Decision Making and Skill Application in Game Situations- Off Angle Episode #26

    In today's episode, we start off by discussing Pete DeBoer's departure from Dallas, and give some thoughts on the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals. Then, we take a deep dive into situational awareness, and how to improve at applying the skills you develop into game situations for success. Decision making in the split seconds of a game is a tough skill to develop as directly as technique or simple saves, but it is what separates goalies at the higher levels. We explain the best ways to develop skill application and decision making in-game so that goalies can have a direct process to follow when improving these skills. Thank you so much for listening.

    In today's episode, we start off by discussing Oettinger getting pulled in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals after giving up 2 goals on 2 shots against the Oilers. We comment on whether we think it was the right move, and talk about DeBoer's comments in his postgame interview on why he made that decision. Then, we dive into all things puck handling. We talk about situations in which goaltenders should play the puck, why it's important to play the puck, and what it takes to be an elite puck handler. We spill all the puck handling advice we have learned over the course of our careers from stick height to the best ways to stop a rim. Thank you so much for listening.
