	Goaltenders' Glossary (Doug Norris' Goaltender Home Page)
		The goaltender should remain relaxed and skate backwards with the incoming shot, thus helping to absorb the blow and reduce the rebound effect.
		In fact, the goaltender must be one of the best technical skaters on the team, and must be able to keep up with the moves of every skater on opposing teams.
		Stacking the pads is a desperation move in which the goaltender jumps feet-first towards the potential shooter, attempting to cover as much space as possible.

		Like defenseman, the goaltender must be knowledgeable of his team's "system" and have a sense of where where his defense and forwards setup within that system.
		The goaltender should communicate with his teammates that he is going to take control of the puck from an oncoming teammate or make the teammate aware of his intentions to pass the puck to them.
		By talking with teammates, the goaltender decreases chances of a miscommunication and allows them to either get in position for a pass or cover for the goaltender as he sets up a play.

	Goaltender Lists
		The five hole is the most vulnerable spot for the goaltender; constant motion and positional play cannot be achieved without some sacrifice in the five hole area.
		On a screen shot, the goaltender must do everything possible to try to see the shot, dropping to the butterfly stance and thrusting their trapper out at the sound of a shot.
		TRAPPER: Worn on the left hand (for right-handed goaltenders), and similar in shape to a fielder's mitt in baseball, the trapper is usually the goaltender's strong point.

		This system is much as the same as Normalized Production, In that it allows us to remove some statistical illusion (we can never remove all of it) from the player’s record, allowing us to get a better idea of how good or bad he was.
		I wouldn’t want to look at either of these lists and say that any of these players was the best goaltender ever simply because of either of these two stat groups.
		Of these goaltenders, Tommy Salo was by far the worst one to play so many games.

	Oilers Undecided on Starting Goaltender - The Deadbolt
		When it comes to Stanley Cup playoff hockey anything can happen and for the Edmonton Oilers the worse case scenario played itself out on the ice Monday night as goaltender Dwayne Roloson was injured in the third period of last night's 5-4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
		With the game tied 4-4 and 5:54 remaining on the clock, Dwayne Roloson was forced from the ice in the third period after Oilers teammate Marc-Andre Bergeron lead Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrew Ladd toward the net, a seemingly average play that saw Roloson twist his knee against the post while in the butterfly position.
		As well, pundits and odds-makers also gave the early edge to the Carolina Hurricanes due to the fact that the team had stronger goaltending with 22 year old Cam Ward and original playoff starter for the Hurricanes, Martin Gerber.

	Inside the NHL: Richter greatest American goaltender
		The unfortunate, early close to the career of Mike Richter this week is sure to open debate in hockey circles as to whether or not he was the United States' greatest goaltender.
		When Richter announced Thursday in New York that concussions are forcing him out of the game at age 36, the Rangers, his only NHL employer in 15 seasons, let it be known that his No. 35 will be retired and hung from the rafters of Madison Square Garden.
		It was an appropriate gesture for someone who was the winningest goaltender in franchise history and, more important to New Yorkers, the driving force behind the 1994 Stanley Cup title which erased 54 years of failure.

		Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Goaltender swap by ranger_fan on Monday, November 20 @ 22:17:24 CST
		If I were the Leafs I would try for a large package that would see some of their young defencemen go that way too (either to get a bigger name from the Coytoes or to get a higher round draft pick).
		Their offense is potent but their defence is too slow and their goaltending situation is dicey (however, i think Nittimaki is the guy for the Flyers and that will make itself obvious in the coming months).
