WOC Defense

I play goalie and that is how I play. If someone is in tight, then I go butterfly. That is how you should be playing goalie. Yes you are vulnerable to other situations but that's the whole point of a team game. It is not your job to cover the close in shot and the one timer at the same time and it's what makes a good goalie great are those that can read or predict what the skater will do whether it be shooting or passing for a one timer. If you could save everything in the game then goalie would be too easy. The reason people don't go butterfly personally irks me to my core because these are the same goalies that complained when they got scored on by a slapshot 5 hole saying it was a glitch. The same goalies that blame the game for a puck trickling into the net because they refused to go butterfly on the shot. The puck then bounces off them in a weird way as they try to stand back up because they still aren't pressing butterfly when the shot comes in and the puck falls into the net. I see so many goalies say that was them being "EA'd". No it was the result of poor positioning. You either go butterfly to prevent that skater from the backhand spin shot or you stay standing and protect against the possible pass for a one timer. You can't save both.
