Very late to the party here, but Demko does do it with both the zigzag as well as the single hinge. The reason for the zigzag is staying square to anyone up ice if the goalie feels a passing player is the more likely action after the attackers obtain the puck.
Amen. I just got back into playing at 45 after about a 20 year layoff. Plus for me butterfly wasn't even much of a thing back in my glory days. Thankfully my reflexes are still on point, just still working on getting my body to cooperate. I'll get there. I love videos like these. This is great content and definitely something I'm going to work on and try to integrate into my game.
My first thought is to get my pad square to the puck, regardless of the foots seal on the post bc a bank won't go in if I'm square. Most shooters try to bank it off your pad. Good/dirty shooters will try to do so off your body/head. After being square, you can hinge around to be flat (-ish, depending on the play) to the goal line
It all comes down to the read. If the puck is tight then you have to seal the short side. If its in the corner, get up! If you read the player is going to wrap right away then you can push right to the far post.
after watching Demko's transitions its made clear why he does the push off. his leg is behind the redline and when he brings that same leg back. he then quickly transitions to the pivot where and his leg is properly positioned not to get the bank goal. I see what you mean, but most of the goalies in your example are already above the line and can pivot first before the push to the post.
Goalies can and should have the ability to find their post and hinge even if they are behind the goal line. I will upload some footage working on the same play from an even more aggressive positioning! Ultimately it doesn't matter what Demko does because he's an NHL goalie, an outlier, the 1% of the 1%. No matter what he does he will succeed. For your young goalies however, the devil is in the details. I would just hate for goalies to give up bad goals in this situation because no one has shown them different post recoveries.
Hey Jamie, as a goalie trying to make it to juniors right now, what are your thoughts on how a goalie should anchor to the post. Do you prefer to see the toe on the post or skate blade. I'm personally a blade to post guy only because I find it easier to hinge and change my angle that way compared to having that toe to pad gap as my anchor, I guess I feel I can control it better using my blade. I do however think having the toe and pad as an anchor creates a better seal, but I'm curious to your thoughts.
I think we're talking two different sotuations here, bacause in some cases, you might not get the time to pivot and get a nice lock on the first post...
The RVH should only be used by NHL goalies. The old VH is much more effective for every other level of hockey. It covers the entire short side of the net. NHL goalies can move much better than other levels of hockey.
Or just go post leg up and stay on your post, problem solved. I don't get why they are teaching this when even NHL goalies get lit up nightly on the highlight real doing the reverse vh
A year later but as a goalie the puck always finds holes with the VH approach, you also can hinge very easily and change your angle with your far leg in rvh, you can seal the ice against the post and pop off very easily to come out at the puck if it's passed up high, plus it's better moving post to post.

At my age, every move is the hardest move to do in the crease.😂
😂😂

I’ve gotten scored on off bankoffs before great video

@@jamiephillips30 yeah no problem. I get what you'er saying and ultimately will apply what you said to my game LOL
@@justallmedia Glad to hear that! All that matters is you find what works for you!
@@jamiephillips30 maybe he doesn't want 2 more hip surgeries lol
@@DkDerek Can't blame him on that haha

Im kinda late but you should play it when you go to the post go with skate but if you have time try to seal it with the toe, sorry for bad English
oh yea. i know that arena about a minute in. did a bunch of hockey camps there. watched a lot of tech games too.

0:09 *I'm so jealous of that post to post seal. Not blessed with height and flexible hips, lol.*
I just want some good pegs that actually hold the net in!
Ive heard nothing but good things about people using piranha pegs
I don't see what the overlap is .

No you have to do that if your skate is over or on the goal line
it looks so easy but I can't do that lol
goalie is so scientific now that it's no fun to play anymore
Idk
Just watch Jonathan quick do it.
The thing is you didn't even make it to the NHL

if you're not being paid to play and if it's too hard don your hips....just let in the goal lol. not worth a hip surgery in 10 years.
