The problem is how the NPCs and the old guard have completely merged. They keep hiring each other, like a negative feedback loop. I see it on the goaltending side a lot.
Goalies are getting worst, overall SAV% in the NHL is almost at an all time low. But, if everyone has a goalie problem, then there is no problem.
Truth will win out eventually. When real coaches sneak in, they have a huge impact right away. Kris Knoblauch, for example, made an immediate impact in Edmonton, with their massive win streak. The guy is legit.
Funny enough, the Oilerstheir streak against one of my company's top athlete: Adin Hill.
Very good points. Interesting on the goalie front. They’re all 6’9” now and just try to “cover the net.”
Athleticism is there to a degree but it’s more about coverage it seems.
I was asked to help with younger goalies for the HS team & said no because I don’t even know how they’re taught now.
Paddle down, toe pick back/forth etc etc.
Im an old school stand up goalie, down when you need to cover low.
Who knows. I’m a sniper now anyway so love that it’s easier for me to score.
We've got hours of classroom videos, drill packages and do weekly development video calls. If you ever need help with goalie stuff, feel free to reach out, I'll set you up.
I was a proud product of the Joe Bertagna goalie camps.
My son is older now, my coaching days behind me. For now. Life changes fast so I’ll let you know.
May get into refereeing a little here or there.
Damn, I just checked out their website. 50 years of summer camps, that's goddamn impressive!
I love how Joe coached through the 70s, 90s and 00s. I think those three decades were the most influencial periods for goaltending as a whole. It's where the most important concepts were discovered and developed.
We just had our 10 year anniversary last summer. We got to celebrate it with the Stanley Cup for two days. If we can keep it going for another 40 years, maybe we'll get to chill with Lord Stanley a few more times.
