With that said though, its always great to see new things being tried (even though this wasn't really that original) - don't let the old fashioned restrict you from trying new things.
Not to mention that you are also taking away 95% of the net as it would be very difficult to lift the puck. All a goalie has to do it either poke check or cover the bottom of the net. The extra bit of puck handling and surprise factor doesn't make up for it, especially if it became used more often.

Besides looking neat, this move has very little practical application.
