Coronato alone at the doorstep, 12 seconds left in the 1st. Would you have had it? Here are 3 things every goalie can steal from Mackenzie Blackwood's save 👇
1. Sealed on the post. As Coronato drives the net, Blackwood is tight to the post with his pad sealed along the ice. No hole on the short side.
Train it: post-integration reps. Seal the post, keep your chest tall, then react to a pass across.
2. Eyes on the puck. When the puck goes across the crease, his head moves first and his body follows.
Train it: have a partner pass side to side in front of you, and call out the puck before you move.
3. Push + full glove reach. He drives off the post and stretches the glove all the way across, getting there before Coronato can lift it.
Train it: post-to-post pushes from your knees, and finish every push with the glove out and open.
The rest is compete. Never give up on a doorstep puck.
Blackwood finished with 25 saves on 27 shots as Colorado beat Calgary 5-2 on Saturday.
