You could try skating the lines ( the drill that's featured in Miracle, I've also heard it referred to as a suicide), making sure you stop on opposite foot alternatively. _________________ That's what she said!

I'm poor.

I'm not really sure who (if anyone) believes him. _________________ That's what she said!

IMO the term "goalies should be the best skaters on the team" is a dumb statement. Yes they need to be good, but not the fastest, just the most maneuverable. _________________ Marc-Andre Fleury ROCKS! auburn goalie Hall of Fame Joined: 21 Dec 2007 Posts: 2656 Location: Maine Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 8:06 pm    Post subject: gimbo726 wrote: Hmmm, all I can tell you is make sure you really dig your skate into the ice.
