It's very effective but difficult to incorporate into your game. Looks mostly like this and depends on how far the shooter is:
Here's where Rittich made his mistake (moreso on the Saad goal... Kane's was kind of flukey and I feel on that play he would have found an opportunity one way or another):
Here's where Rittich used the reverse VH at Saad's point of release. He's using it too early.
Good news is this is a very easy fix and just part of the adjustment to the NHL game. He's shown a great capacity to adapt. |
Nice breakdown. Yeah looks like he jumped the gun a bit. Maybe playing too cautious in the final minute.
