OFF-ANGLE PODCAST

In this video, we break down 2 goals on Anton Forsberg. Both are back door plays on the penalty kill. We talk about what he could've done better to set himself up for a better chance at making both of these saves.

Believe it or not, being afraid of the puck is a very normal and common part of learning to play goalie. If you are afraid of the puck, don't be discouraged. In this video, we talk about why being afraid of the puck is normal, and some steps you can take to help you get over the fear so that you can be your best!!

Practice is the time to be able to work on all parts of your game. Often times, you cannot work on things like your RVH and techniques around the post because the net won't stay on. In this video, we talk about why it's so important to be able to use the net in practice, and why these pegs are worth the investment in them and more!! Here is a link to the pegs: https://anchorpegs.com/en-us/products/guardian-anchorpegs We are not paid to recommend these pegs- they are simply what has helped us the most in practice over the past 7 years, and that is why we highly recommend buying a pair. Thank you so much for watching, we hope this video helps!!

In this video, we watch as young Columbus goaltender Jet Greaves plays a tricky zone entry using the overlap- not only does he have a great chance to make the save on a shot, he also gives himself the ability to get across and make a very difficult back door save look nonchalant.

One of the most common questions or comments we get has to do with young goalies playing other sports. There seems to be a misconception that if you want to be a great goaltender, that you should just focus on goaltending, and that's it. In this video, we talk about why we actually RECOMMEND that young goalies play other sports, even if the end goal is to play goalie long term. Just because a goalie isn't playing goalie, doesn't mean that they aren't effectively training to become one!

Almost as long as we've played goalie, there have been a ton of jokes and preconceptions that goalies don't have to work that hard because they just stay in the same spot all game or practice. And recently, a photo surfaced online of Sergei Bobrovsky looking quite thin following a game. This got us thinking- would it be cool to take the data from our heart rate monitors we wear during practices and games, and actually show goalies' workload? And that's exactly what we did! So- how hard do goalies actually work? Watch the video to find out!!

There may not be a more pressure filled situation in hockey than playing goalie in the Stanley Cup Finals. How do we manage the pressure, remain calm, and focus on making saves when we are in a pressure filled game ourselves? I think we can learn a lot about this from one of the best- Sergei Bobrovsky- and the simple, but far from easy mental focus trick he used to block out the noise and play his best hockey game after game in the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals. Using this trick helped his team and him reach the ultimate goal of winning their second consecutive Stanley Cup!! Thank you so much for watching our video.

When you have been offered by multiple teams, especially ones that are different levels, it can be tough to decide which one to play for. This is a common problem all the way from youth hockey, to determining which college team to play for. There are various pros and cons to weigh with each team, and it's not always clear which is best. In this video, we talk about some things to consider when trying to figure out which one to pick. Hopefully this helps make the decision just a little bit easier. If you have faced a tough situation like this before, please comment letting us know what helped you make the right choice.
