I've never seen that training technique before.. I guess it's to improve focus?

@RuthODay2 I was a goalie ( I know, I know, all goalies are weirdos) I was always told to stay up on my feet as much as possible. Now it's all take away the bottom of the net. No position in hockey has evolved as much as goaltending.
@RuthODay2 Ummmm no. They would have a field day. Players are soooo much better it's incredible.
@RuthODay2 There's also the old story of when goalies started to demand a water bottle at the top of the net and Glen Sather said "Next they'll want a bucket of fried chicken up there"

We've come a long way from Conn Smythe tying Türk Broda's shoulders to the crossbar to stop him from flipping so much.
(Caveat: My father told me this in the late 1960s, it might not have been Broda. But it sounds like something Smythe would do)
