I didn't mean to come off as a smartass when I said it. Your comment sounded like someone who never played goal to me because I think whether a goalie does it or doesn't do it they should still get why others might and how it could work for them. Obviously I was wrong and you have, but thinking that you didn't I was just explaining why a goalie would use it for positioning.

All good, man. Fair point. And truly appreciate the perspective. Internet posts are too drive by, by their nature, to get your point plus its context across every time.
I do buy the argument towards superstition or a mental / situational reset thing. Just of the opinion that with the amount of training they actually do, they need to build this to put positioning details mainly in to their subconscious.
