My advice to you is that stay very deep in your crease majority of the time and move laterally 'lightly' if that makes sense. Also in break aways, copy what real NHL goalies do, get out of the blue paint and slowly move back in your crease when they are getting close, and hit the butterfly when they try to pull a deke while moving back. Trying for a desperate dive or a poke check isn't as effective IMO anymore than it was in NHL 09. Last thing, try to read a play as much as you can, for example, tic-tack-toe plays, one-timers, as this is by FAR the easiest way to score in the game at the moment, but try your best not to over commit. Think passive when playing goalie, not agressive.
