My theory is that the coaches are telling them to collapse into themselves in order to trap the puck in their body, so there is no rebound. The problem is that they are making themselves smaller, thus making the net bigger.
Also, look where his butt is in the first picture - basically on the crease line. But in the second pic, he has collapsed backwards, with his pads on the crease line and his butt a foot or more in from the crease line.
