That my friends, is the sound of me bouncing back. Unfortunately it wasn't a game that meant anything, as I just rented some ice with the Whalers and some other friends. Still, I had a really great night. I stopped every single breakaway on me (and there were several), and made a bunch of nice positional and sliding saves. My goalie counterpart commented afterwards how he noticed that my sliding seems to really have improved. I also played around a little bit with a slightly different glove position during the game and it seemed to have big success. My glove was pointed more to the side than slightly down how I used to hold it. I made several glove saves with it in that position, and it just felt like I was covering more net with it that way, but that could be all in my head.
One of the big things I made sure to do this game was play VERY aggressively out of my crease. I need to pay more attention to this in the future because it seemed to be a big factor last night.
Here's hoping I can continue this into next week!
