@@jimdingley565 overlap would be advised if you can not do RVH or VH. As being inside the post would mean if you were to go down you might come off the post and change your angle
These videos and the basics on angles and being square have changed my game 100% as a goalie. I made a key save in a mens league playoff game, which was a back door shot. Because of positioning and order of movements (eyes head stick etc), I went to the other side of the crease with ease and The puck wound up at my knees covered in btwn my pads. This video on landmarks I do not understand. If I have the correct angle and order of body movements, why do landmarks matter? anyone, please. Ty!
Landmarks are there to stop us from over moving and to help us with being square as well as running drills to replicate plays. When a player moves with the puck, in some cases, we can move from landmark to landmark while relying on our body and our arms or legs reach to cover the net when the shooter is between landmarks. Thus we can hopefully stay “set” for longer and be patient. This will help minimize some movements. But as you get to better players and higher levels we swap the land marks to merely references to double check we are square. High level players require smaller find movements at all times. They are basically guide lines for certain things you should or should NOT do in certain areas of play as well. It’s just like good players have the ice divided into place where you should do A, B, or C and in another area only C, D & F ! We also use landmarks to run drills so a goalie has something to fix their eyes on and target or rotate towards. This also gives us an idea on how much depth we need given where the landmark/imaginary puck is. Most landmarks are conveniently located in areas where we have some general rules to apply. So if the landmark is blue-line/boards it represents the Oppositions D man keeping the puck in or maybe receiving a ring around puck. Thus when we do a drill we have a visual reference to lock onto that allows us to “aim” at something. Then orders of movement has a focus spot and things will come together. Plus we should know to be outside the Blue Paint. Same as if the landmark is the face-off dot to the left or right. We get a general feel for the depth we should have in a given area, and hopefully some visual cues as well to double check we are square and of correct depth. So be it a drill or an actual face off in the defensive zone I have been visualizing and “practicing this position so it should be more “intuitive” or natural for me to perform correctly.
If its still not clear I will gladly put it on the list for the next video taping session I do. Breakaways - deeper explanation of landmarks - the house zone - butterfly & depth These are on my list for the next time I can find time to film & edit
When the puck is in the triangle just above the goal line, what do you advise for goalies who don't know VH or reverse VH?

I feel you should orient the picture as the goalie sees it from our pov. Your diagram works but to me it’s upside down. Just flip it
Thanks. Wish I had thought of it before posting. Dang next time I’ll try it.
