Here is some more magic goalie movement. He manages to, from a butterfly, float across the net without pushing off of anything. He isn't pushing off his right pad or the post, he just floats over and then jams down the puck. There is no beating the goalie anymore - it is only shooting where the goalie doesn't expect it.

This one is very annoying for a couple reasons. You’re right that he hasn’t pushed off anything and that he should be pushing off the post. The goalie’s right leg in this case is in horrendous position before the push every begins. By now every goalie in the league has mastered the RVH to the point you could say they over-rely on it. There is no way an NHL goalie has his leg on the outside of the post when trying to do an RVH.
I also don’t like how he can shift the angle of the left side of his body without using any momentum.
Thanks for all the clips, everyone. Definitely appreciate you all submitting them. If we have any news on goalie changes, we'll make an announcement.
