Protect the paint! While it is important to make sure you have that short side post sealed and the puck and puck carrier are your priority, you are also responsible to defend your paint. If a pass goes through your paint, it is an opportunity that should have been prevented. Whether it be through the use of an active stick or the way you position yourself in your RVH, given the situation, you have to take away the time and space that these forwards can operate in. #goalie #goalies #readtheplay #protectthepaint #nhl #takeawaytimeandspace
