I’ve always believed it’s important for goalies to learn how to fall or dive with control and purpose. Some goalies love working on this kind of thing, while others bounce off of it because they feel they should never be in that situation in the first place, but regardless I think everyone should at least have an idea of how to make these types of saves. The game is too fast and dynamic to expect to never need it.
Most desperation saves boil down to keeping your eyes on the puck and getting some piece of your equipment close to it (Hasek was the master of this), and Lincoln worked hard at this drill and made some awesome saves as a result!
