Agreed. My reaction was "dang it, why did you have to lift your pads!?" but I know full well it's because it changed direction, and he was trying to adjust his angle on instinct (not a calculated decision). The puck just got there before his pads could get back down. I've been scored on the same way. I imagine all goalies have.Just saw the goal against Talbot. That wasn't a weak goal. Anyone who complains clearly hasn't played nets.
How about his stick, though? shouldn't that be covering the 5?Agreed.

You're trained to have it cover your 5-hole, but I don't know anyone who doesn't move it at least a bit when they're getting up and down. It's hard to keep it in place with the rest of your body moving.How about his stick, though? shouldn't that be covering the 5?
Fiala has to pass a bit more and not play so much hero puck.
Hey, if stupidity got us into this mess, why can't it get us out?I know what’ll get us out of this mess— another penalty.
