I never got in this game the shuffling while in butterfly. Butterfly is a horrible playing style that got popular in the 90s and early 2000s because players were shooting low. But you can see it mastered here by this goalie who does the impossible to adjust himself in butterfly.

Now, about 3:55 you can see an actual goalie shuffle a bit while in butterfly. Notice how the legs come up momentarily to open up the five hole and it takes the time to make one step NHL 23 goalies do in five.

No stress in the game in moving so fast, no sign of severe focus on moving the legs by the top being unsteady - just sliding back and forth as if it weren't a thing.

That is a very easy move to execute. I do have some issues with it, though.
1) It appears the puck is far enough out that he should be back on his feet by the time the shot is taken.
2) He is pushing over and up, which means he has to move a lot further for a simple catch. Goalies should get their angle first and then (with enough time) gain depth.Without knowing more about the shot I can only assume some parts of the play.
