Another bad puck touch decision leads to a goal: one of the tenets we try to emphasize with our goaltenders when they play the puck is that they need to be able to create time and space when they are delivering it to a teammate. While Jeremy Swayman quickly moves the puck here, he gets a poor read of the forecheck and puts his defenseman in an outnumbered situation. If he holds the puck a split second longer, 2 forwards are committed to the strong side, and he would be able to rim the puck to the weakside, where he had a defenseman waiting. Practicing puck touches is paramount for you to move to elite levels of the game, but it is just as important that you work on your reads while getting touches in practice. The more pressure and variable looks that you can face, the better you will be prepared. #goalie #goalie #pucktouches #scantheice #createtimeandspace #puckpossession #bosakgoaltending coach_bosak
