I think the best way to get in a goalie's head is to minimize shots, don't let him feel the puck, and wait for high-danger, cross-crease opportunities. Nothing is going to rattle a goalie more than looking up a the scoreboard and seeing 2 goals on 3 shots.
Goalies get comfortable by making saves and feeling the puck. Peppering them from everywhere only feeds this. And IMO, this is part of why it seemed like we faced allstar goaltending every night, under Sutter.

See Markstrom 2 seasons ago. No shots for 3-5 minutes, then a two on one to the top line.
