There are tonnes of those plays every single night. As soon as the play goes cross-crease there's a big chance you'll see some athletic move by the goalie.
I'm not saying you're wrong. I agree with you 100% that the blocking style of goaltending is horrible and should be gone from the game. IMHO I think that that's happening anyway all on it's own. The goalies now are some of the best and most agile athletes in the game, and that's because they can't just have good technical fundamentals, but they have to read and react to every play as it happens.
