A goalie’s game, in context

How a goalie recognizes the next threat, tracks through traffic and makes a deliberate save choice.

Edges, balance, depth and post play that put useful coverage in the right shooting lane.

Rebound decisions and recoveries that leave the goalie ready when a possession continues.

Composure, repeatable habits and the capacity to earn responsibility against older competition.
