Yep... or, play better in front of them if you can.this is a start like the Calgary series …. Time to step up and block some shots for the goalie
I'm actually not the biggest fan of the new style NHL 'everyone try to block every shot' mentality. Safety aside, most goalies I played with at lower levels would rather you let them see the shot if you're not damn sure you're blocking it. I think it was Tampa earlier in the playoffs, I saw 3 players try to block a shot at once on a PK, creating a huge screen and goal that would have been a routine save if the goalie could see the shot to begin with.
