Little late to the party. 2nd goal, the half slapper was thigh high going quite wide. Super nice tip.
But as a goalie you can take that away. As soon as the shot is released and you recognize it’s that wide, you can slide back into your near side post, as the options are:
Probable: Puck goes past and bounces off boards behind net, back to that post, where you need to be anyway.
Less probable: guy reaches out and tips it back toward net, in which case the angle is so sharp and a post lean is the correct position anyway.
Bobrovsky didn’t seem to pick up the initial shot clean cause he was just starting a push toward the post as the deflection happened. Might not have mattered
as the puck bounced up off the ice.
So that’s a sign the goalie is not sharp that day. And why theres 5 goals on 14 shots even though you could argue he had little to no chance on any.
