I know what you guys are saying, and I do agree to a certain extent.

That said, as a shooter, you don't want to think that the goalie stopped you. It's better to think that you missed your shot. At least that's how I always was. If that makes sense....

IMO that's where the saying "beat the goalie, but not the post" comes from. As silly as it sounds.
