The difference between good & great is between the ears.

This is what being a goalie coach is all about.

@Kent_Wilson Bingo. You have to have elite, elite, elite skills to have good HD save percentage numbers consistently. Some Gs have pulled off the odd good year, but it's difficult to do that consistently if you don't have certain skills supercharged to the max.

@goalie_school I noticed Jonathan Bernier had a more athletic stance last year (it's carried over to this year, as well). And John Gibson's stance looks more athletic this year.

This is a wicked thread for anyone interested in goalie development. Great analysis and insight, @nnstats!

@Kjoyce30 No doubt.

I’m also not on a keto diet, don’t have a personal trainer or see a nutritionist 💁🏻‍♂️

@ConnorHughes01 @MRJALEX I will spot you 5-0 in tennis and beat you 7-5.

Huge congrats, @CGDChuck!

The 67’s just got one heck of a teacher, leader, and role model - on and off the ice.

🙌🏼

[Ottawa 67’s @Ottawa67sHockey]

Welcome Charlie!

The #67s have hired Charlie McTavish as the team’s goaltending coach, he will fill the role recently vacated by Andy Chiodo, who was hired by the Pittsburgh Penguins organization in June.

This applies to Goaltending too. Good scrambling isn’t always textbook. Sometimes you need to throw a leg or an arm or a head out.

[Eli Rassi @EliRassi]

Maybe now goalie coaches will cool it with encouraging goalies to watching the puck and following through movements with their whole head when making saves, like they’re bobble head dolls on steroids. https://t.co/8Tzutfrtxh

[Kevin Woodley @KevinisInGoal]

Actually, while swivel vision goggles may be good vision training too, eliminating peripheral does NOT = proper puck tracking; In fact, 1st NHL G coach to try them saw can lead to bad tracking habits that led to inefficiency in movement, set up + off release https://t.co/BuVYkQQbJe

@goalie_school You should write more articles like this. It’s awesome 👍🏼

And don’t ever apologize for doing it!

@EPdangle26 Like a bear flexing a toothpick.

[Eli Rassi @EliRassi]

Goalie coaches know goalies by their gear and how they tape their sticks.

It’s a gift, really.

Somebody got mad today...not naming any names 🤐

[Eli Rassi @EliRassi]

@goalie_school 🤯

[Eli Rassi @EliRassi]

@CrowdScoutSprts It’s so true.

I think a goalie coach’s impact can be as simple as, “The goalie is better than before. They’re not giving up as many of *these types* of goals. They’re also more consistent. The team is still poo poo, but the goalie is better!”

Or something like that.

[Eli Rassi @EliRassi]

Big congrats to @CPCANADIANS alum @colton_point on signing with the Dallas Stars! Keep on climbing 🤙🏼

[Eli Rassi @EliRassi]

@GregBalloch @InGoalMedia Ahhh, nah.

Tracking is more than knowing when to react and block.

You know this. Lots of people do.

Maybe when the craziness of the draft settles down you can explain it.

C’mon. It’s time.

[Eli Rassi @EliRassi]

@GregBalloch @InGoalMedia Character limit?

Tweet thread it.

Explain tracking.

C’mon. It’s time.
