Yeah I was wondering about that one myself... I think the guy was talking about BEING a goalie... not sure though. But I started to wonder when he said "with your blocker." Probably some smartypants goalie trying to tell us all he doesn't appreciate it when we block shots for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctaz 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2006 well I'm not beign a smartypants, I've used the butterfly technique as a forward, maybe comes from playing a bit as a goalie. I only use it when I'm dead on in front of the player and he's shooting low. Normally I only use it in pickup games. Only time I can go legs first is when I have to get over to the shooter, I can't think of anyhting I've stacked my legs when I wasn't moving towards the shooter from his side. Anyways definitle bring my arms in close when I'm sliding like I would if I was standing up, I'd rather have a bruise on my forearm, my elbow, or any other unprotected area rather than a direct shot to the chest.

ctaz 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2006 lol It's been so long since I've been on the ice and done it that I can't honestly tell you when it was.I'm curious though is there really a proper way to block a shot so long as you block it and don't just deflect it?
