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. |
Great Post!!! This is one of the many reasons that CP is awesome. Good knowledge based and diversity leading to good discussion!!!
Based on the article you provided, it looks like whenever the puck is in the faceoff circle, you should not be using the move. Minor adjustment, but let's keep in mind that the 3 goals scored yesterday that beat Rittich, were shot into an opening no bigger than 4" x 4". These are pretty close to perfect shots.
