Goal-Day Thread Game 3: Coyotes @ Ducks - 7PM - FSAZ

[SniperHF]

One has to wonder how many goals we might have scored if we just had someone screening the goalie. Out of our 100 shots, do you guys remember seeing even one legit screen? I know I can't.

Hello new person.

And no, we don't really screen. I think I've seen Kempe try to do it a few times.

They sort of do late developing moves to the center for redirects but don't seem to outright try and block the goalies vision.

Guys, it was a soft goal, and so was the one on Raanta short side, no other way to spin it.

If Richardson would have scored that goal you would have said it was the goal of the game. That one on Raanta, if you watch it again, was one hell of a shot. Raanta usually stops those but that puck was labeled.

If Ritchie had sores I would have won the poll thread.

Raanta didn’t hug the post tight enough on the Steel goal. He was cheating a little (as many goalies do) in order to get a better push off to cover the pass and the shot snuck through on him. It was one he probably wished he had back.

There was no emerging Duck on the other side. This was clearly a one on one from an angle that Raanta should have made the save.

Goalies will still instinctively cheat to cover all scenarios.

From Morgan’s post game article in The Athletic:

Raanta shook off a shaky, short-side, game-tying goal late in the second period that he said had all of his past goalie coaches dancing in his head, asking, ‘What are you doing?’

That was soft regardless of the shooter. It was the goal of the game by the way Rannta was cheating, no excuse for that goal. If you remember early in the season last year, he was getting beat on his short side a little too often.

From Morgan’s post game article in The Athletic:

But you said he was cheating to push off. There was no pass opportunity there.
What he didn't do was play his angle well. When you come out as a goalie sometimes you don't have the perfect angle to cover the short side. This is what happened here.
But whatever right. He allowed a goal he probably shouldn't have but overall he's playing well. The yotes D has some unbelievable breakdowns every game leaving Antti on an Island.

He was cheating.... it’s instinctive for a goalie to be able to cover the entire net.... otherwise he hugs that post hard and it would take a Chara bomb to drill through him to get into the net.

Instead he left a small gap between himself and the post that the puck found. It was just a small mistake (that he admitted to) and it happened to result in a goal.

It’s nothing against Raanta at all. He kept us in the game when he had to. Ducks had fewer SOG but far more grade A chances that he stopped.

He wasn't cheating to push off which was the premise of the argument.There was no shooter on the other side. No goalie "hugs" the post on an shot unless it's from a very bad angle.

I'd go out on a limb and say, if he had been standing like this in the last game, he might have saved a goal. So it was right of him to leave a small opening on his right side. Possibly. Even if all his past goalie-coaches danced in his head and screamt to him.
