Off Angle

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!

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.

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.

Then, we comment on depth management and reaction time, and strengths that smaller goalies in today's NHL possess that allow them to excel.

With many of our goalies just finishing "tryout season", we discuss off-season training following tryouts. Whether you were selected for the team or cut is not as important as the work you do after that. The work you put in during the upcoming offseason and season of hockey will determine your future far more than making any one team will. We talk about how to manage your offseason and season for improvement, and the proper mindset to have every day to reach your goals. Then, we briefly discuss Round 2 Stanley Cup goaltending performances, and break down some of the goals in the Panthers/Leafs game 7. Thank you so much for watching!!

In today's episode we discuss Hellebuyck's performance in the playoffs so far. Even though he is one of the best goalies in the world, he isn't playing his best in playoffs. We comment on why we think this might be, and common reasons goalies may be off their game. Then we discuss what our remedy might be to get him back to playing at the Vezina level he typically does. After that, we once again address the criticism around the media regarding Stuart Skinner's performance in the playoffs thus far.

Then we comment on the NHL preseason's "Top 10 Goalies Right Now List", and whether we agree with all of the goalies on it. Thankfully, it's not as bad as we thought. Finally, we talk about playing pucks that are rung around the glass, and the pros and cons of doing so. We don't think it's the best idea. Thank you all for listening and the continued feedback-- we really appreciate it!!

In this episode, we discuss the new contract offered by the Boston Bruins to Jeremy Swayman, and speculate on why he turned it down, and how much he actually may want. Then, we compare that contract to other elite goalies' contracts around the league, and whether we think that is a fair contract for him. Are the Bruins being cheap, or is he asking for too much?

In this episode, we discuss 4 ways that you can be the best goalie partner possible. Being a great goalie partner not only leads to team success, but individual success as well. We give reasons for why when you have a goalie tandem in which both goalies work well together, they both reap massive benefits, no matter who is starting. And we comment on why when they don't work well together, both goalies, and the team, are worse because of it.

In this episode, we break down the Goals Saved Above Expected stat used to evaluate goaltenders, and the variables that go into determining an Expected Goal Against.

We comment on whether or not we think it is a totally fair and accurate stat with which to determine goaltenders' abilities compared to others. Then we discuss in season protein intake and eating habits that we follow to help maintain peak performance throughout the hockey season.
