Shit man. I’m sorry to hear that.
The unlearning is the movement aspect not specifically technique. I equate Francillia as an efficiency expert aiding at essentially the cellular level to help goaltenders operate smoother while mitigating injury risk of what is described as very unnatural, stress induced movements for a human.
Right I guess there is a distinction there. But smoother movement equals better smoother technique possibly, so without getting into the weeds I throw them into the catch-all phrase. No one around here even wants to hear about it any ways unfortunately. Minds are made up lol.
It's movement but also the injuries caused by the physical demands (often unnatural movements) of the position. This is a good article that equates the rash of goaltender injuries to Tommy John surgery commonplace for baseball pitchers.

8 goals in 7 games since Team Canada snub, and scores against both Sweeney and Armstrongs teams.
He was our best player during last year's October-November slump, IMO. Dude has heart.
Interesting. Wonder if someone like Demko would also hire this guy. This guy obviously knows his stuff. And I'm glad to see Stu doing anything he can do get better.It's movement but also the injuries caused by the physical demands (often unnatural movements) of the position.

For modern goalies, saves are just one part of the 'position of perfection'
Adam Francilia, an exercise physiologist for NHL players, has long believed goaltending is, at its very core, similar to a martial art like jiu-jitsu or judo.Both the hockey goalie and martial artist begin in a static stance, he explains, then read and react to whatever unfolds in front of them...
Goaltender development and coaching continues to become more and more sophisticated. It's like a Formula One pit crew with a team of specialists who coach mental aptitude; physical mobility and strength; technique; and increasingly the bio-mechanical specialization work done by Francillia. Skinner is not an innate, natural athletic type so that is a whole other dimension that's challenging.
Yes he was. When the Oilers are at their worst, he's the guy that can break through the momentum of the team and try to single handedly change it.

Demko has worked (or might still be working) with Francilia. I can't say I understand Demko's injury issues but he's a highly athletic goaltender doing unnatural body movements required of the position. The most recent injury is described as a 'freak injury' and he's playing again. But wonder if there's risk of a chronic injury risk.

Man that is the hardest thing but the last great gift of love you can give your pup. Sorry that the time has come , even forever with a loved dog is one day too few. Love to your family.
You have to use GSAA/60, flat GSAA is deceptive as it is cumulative for the whole season like for example this table would lead you to believe Devon Levi is a better goalie than Skinner when his GSAA/60 is 494% worse.
Probably Stu himself hahaA plant from the team.
Yeah idk how people are lamenting over Skinner because he had a sv% above .900, he was not good again. He was staring at the ground on the second goal which he does for a lot of goals (I think he has a serious issue tracking the puck), and the first goal was just putrid (we've seen multiple goals like this on him, teams are starting to know to shoot near the goal line.
