Every time the goalie went to the post hug,it was this move. Why aren`t the modern ones in the game given the highest priority over this sad exploit riddled stance? The same with the VH looking like the same unrealistic movements,...going from post to post and switching legs......something you can`t even do in the real world,especially at the speed they let you do it in the game. Plus,they leave the post too early from this stance,which I explain an instance below. I didn`t see the paddle down being used by the goalie in the actual practice ice footage.(...as is what I`m using to base the other comments on too.) The Stamkos part of cutting to the net,....he cuts to the net,and is in tight to the right post,...and the goalie not only doesn`t poke check,which would have ended it right there,(paddle down poke check to be specific.)....but not only didn`t he poke check,....he left the post too early. Stamkos isn`t even at the net ,he`s almost halfway to the corner and the goalie should NOT be leaving the post that early.
