Once in awhile, I'll try stand-up stances and moves. But wow, it feels so weird in stiff modern pads. I have a set of Kenesky-made Franklin THTs in my garage. One day, I'll find a stand-up (or at least stand-up-curious) goalie to get them on the ice.
@@JackMuren Seeing Kirk in net explains a lot of the awkwardness in my play style. I literally played the exact same way and remember standing on the post with my pads clinched tight back in the early 2000's. The crawling on my knees from post to post, he does it too. Diving across the crease (like in their first goal) is completely native for me. I never filmed myself back then and now I trying to learn a completely new play style makes for some interesting video. And typically in the beginning of the game I start more modern but as I get tired I default back to 2000. I'll get it eventually. I am still working on the weight loss (down 30 now) and plan next to start hitting a lot of cardio. I completely appreciate your kind words every week!
@@NerdrageHockey honestly, I started playing the same style as a kid. I started in roller hockey and was a big fan of the Hasek style of goaltending because I had never received any coaching and it seemed very easy to play that scramble type of goaltending. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that style, but as I got older, I really wanted to learn the discipline of a very stable/boring Carey Price style of goaltending. Still haven't mastered that, but it has been a fun journey learning about the position and all the different style and personality that comes along with it. I've really enjoyed sharing with all the different goalies on UA-cam. Thankful to have been a part of everyone's hockey journey and have them be a part of mine too.

You played a great game. You appear much more confident and are moving much more easily around your crease. Good team win. Congratulations!
Thanks Jack!
@@NerdrageHockey you are very welcome.

@@JackMuren I don't see that with you at all, you look like a modern goalie. I guess I have something to shoot for.
