How about actually playing the butterfly? Not just the flexibility required, but dropping to your knees. You'd need pads of your own, or you'd wreck your knees. Either that, or you'd have to play a full stand-up style, which no NHL goalie has really done since the 70s. It's a novel idea on paper, but the execution would be problematic, especially considering the fact that they can't even get the minutia of goaltending right with a controller, for things like looking around (the camera sucks) and handling dekes.
