Because it's an unscreened shot from a mile away? Any pro goalie who let in those kinds of shots would quickly be unemployed.
Just to be clear, there's a reason why pro hockey teams fight so hard to protect the net front and middle slot while conceding point shots. It's because point shots aren't dangerous by themselves. Point shots are really only dangerous when there's a screen or deflection. If neither of those two things are happening, as is the case in my clips, then those shots are the easiest thing in the world for goalies to deal with. And, yet, here we are where the goalies in NHL 24 are falling over themselves in sheer terror of weak wrist shots from the blue line with no screen.

As I said, goalies could use improving. I get just as frustrated as the rest of you with them. I also see them regularly saving point shots though. This doesn't mean they're working perfectly of course. I've sent on the feedback that has been provided about goalies so the team is very aware of them. It's not something that's going to change overnight though. When they're updated, we'll announce it.
