Good god, think of the mental fatigue the players get with the coaches in their ears and the iPads on the bench. I bet they just wish they could have some quiet time down in the crease.
I don’t get how guys like you are trying to make goaltending some monumental physical challenge that it really isn’t.
That anybody thanks garbage like that is laughable.

That you are so arrogant that you seem to be ignoring what appear to be widely held approaches to goaltending, all way somehow thinking that the fact that an NHL player has to play the entire game should be discounted, is more what is laughable
Yup you know more than NHL clubs because you played some beer hockey.
