So it's no big deal 2) We won't laugh at your pads. You just upgraded, and you got a decent set. Why laugh? Just make sure that if you're widening your stance you don't lose mobility. And make sure you're not hesitating when dropping to the butterfly, especially with sharp shooters.

It hasn't happened right at all. I've tried all the tricks I've seen on here, tried repeatedly, and I have strong legs, but I just spin in circles. I'm a LITTLE better with these new pads, but still horrendous. A decent speed skater burns me if I go down too early, and by too early, I mean when they're six feet away. If I just managed to perfect my "Drop then push off slide" tactic, then I'd stop 20% more pucks, easy. That's how people beat me regularly, snap quickly when I'm still up, or force me down, then deke to the side for a wide open net with me lunging with my glove. _________________ Think YOUR goaltending is bad?
