load. if its glove side keep your glove leg up against the post with the glove on top of it. place your blocker leg as if you were in a bfly then place your blocker and stick on the same fashion. when the wrap around push off with your glove leg into a full bfly to the other side, and wrap your stick around the base of the post. do essentially the same thing to stop a wrap around on the other side.

This one is kind of tough to describe. It depends on what the shooter is doing and where he is going. If he's just wrapping it around and trying to stuff it in, just get stay in a butterfly and get your body up against the post with your stick on the outside of the post, with your pad on the inside. If he goes around the post and is just trying a tight angle shot, use the load position. Your pad verticle to the post, your glove on top and your blocker up or the other way around. And if they cut across you just need to stay sqaure to the shooter, and unless they have a snipe and can they can c bar drop every shot in the top corner, you should be all set. But sometimes you can't do much if they get that perfect shot around you that you can't really cover. Just stay sqaure and get as big as possible and the chances of them putting that in isn't very good Smile

Like FS said, it depends on where the shooter is. If you wanna try a drill in practice that focusses on mostly wraparounds, here's what I get my sister and the other goalie on her team to do:

Only need one coach/shooter, and even that is optional. I act as the shooter, starting at the bottom of one circle, and slowly go behind the net, come out the other side. I get them to follow me and go from standing up, hugging the post, to down in the load position. As they get the hang of it, I gradually speed it up so they have to react quicker each time. And then for the fun of it, I'll throw in some moves to screw them up, like yelling "PASS", and they have to butterfly slide across the crease to where the pass would normally go.

If the player is hanging out behind the net without a defenceman on him, he's got a little time to decide which way to go. I'll go in deep into the net, I'll be squatting low with my head turned around. I watch the body, not the puck. He can do what ever deke or puck-pass-to-self but the body is going to go in the direction he's dedicating himself.
Handle the puck as you normally would, I play stand-up so I am not going to advise if you are butterfly goalie.
