That's partly true. At first I didn't think that, but you have to give your defense a break every once in a while, rebound control is very important. Some rebounds aren't your fault, such as, if it's like a 2 on 1 and the get a point blank shot that goes off your pads and right to the other player and they score, then there's nothing you can really do. When it would be the goalies fault, would be like if instead of putting the puck in the corner with your stick, you let it bounce off the front of your pad and they just shoot over you, then it's probably your fault. Although, goalies can't always be blamed for a rebound goal, sometimes it is the goalies fault. I usually can tell the difference between the rebound I could have controlled and the ones my defense should have cleared out.

True. I got that advice the first time i stepped on the ice as a goalie though, so it really helped my confidence with goal tending. it made me feel good if i just tried the whole game. now i feel terrible if i drop below .900

Yeah, I'd prefer to be over .900 but it depends on how the shots I'm getting are going.

yes, well my team has horrible defense so if i drop below .900 its a guaranteed loss. then again we usually lose when i am above .900, so it doesn't matter so much.
