This clip is a great example of the problem with goalie animations. The puck is shoveled towards the net and goes about an inch off the ice. The goalie should probably get an animation that keeps his pad down on the ice. Instead, he lifts his pad way off the ice and allows the puck to get caught up under his pad/skate, then the puck gets easily tapped into the net by a guy whom I can't tell if he shot the puck or was just trying to pick up the puck.
This goes to what I was saying about contextual logic for animations. That animation makes sense in some scenarios. But in this particular instance, it's such an overreaction that it leads to a cheap goal.
Honestly, I'm not heartbroken about a goal being scored. Like, if the goalie kept his pad down and produced a rebound that got dunked, ok. That's fine. But, these goals that come as a result of the game selecting an inadequate animation for the situation, just feel very cheap.
