(Hey, I can stop anything you shoot >right at me.) > >We can't tell what kind of shots they were from the box score. True, but 50 shots in a hockey game is 50 shots. While many of these shots might be blue-line slappers that head straight for the glove, many of these shots are taken simply in hopes of gaining a rebound, or even a face-off to the side of the goalie. Additionally, I've seen many a college goalie stare straight at the puckhandler, watch him wind up and take a slapshot, and still fan on the save. Any goalie to survive a 50-shot barrage must be doing SOMETHING right. >A good goalie must possess the qualities we all talked about: physical >prowess, mental toughness, and consistency. Yes, but most of all, the ability to WIN GAMES, whatever his methods. Greenie S P O O N ! !
