  1. His name is Jay Pawlowski. He is big and quick and, if there is no passing threat goes way out for depth. https://youtube.com/user/TheFairDM
  2. We have similar challenges. I hadn't played hockey since the 2nd grade then started goaltending at 50. Played 6 years and my hip objected to butterflying. Took 6 years off and I've just resumed except now I'm trying to play and make stops without butterflying as much. I've spent hours on youtube trying to figure it out watching goalies in the 60's and 70's. One tip: even though they were playing back then, different goalies used butterfly different percentages of the time. I'm hoping sometimes you can guess where they may fall by watching how far apart their feet are when facing shots. Here is a video where the goalies have different styles. Although they both make kick saves Jacques Plante is mire stand up and Gilles Villemure is more butterfly A single goalie may also change during his career. As an example, if you watch the long Tretiak video he is standing up on saves at the start of the video in the 72 series and butterflying more later in the video in the later series. There are many differences among the styles of goalies who would each be labelled stand up. So seeking consistent lessons from many of them may not pan out for some puck locations and player arrangements. I've switched my gear from butterfly pads to earlier models so I have to relearn to play with the technical limitations they had. As examples: foam box old leathers, durasoft, foam box pads. Old time goalies told me they prepared their skates differently for stand up play. Some didn't sharpen theirs at all. Some only rarely. Some used some kind of cross cut sharpening rather than a radius. Some sharpened to one inch. Some sharpened to half inch. All seemed to deliberately take the bite out of their blades after sharpening. Dull skates facilitate lateral movement while on the blades. It also softens the edges that would interfere with turning the toe outward for a kick save and with sending the skate out to the side for a half butterfly with the pad facing the shooter. I've moved from a frequently sharpened 3/8 to a never resharpened 1/2. I'd requested a 1" but the skate sharpener warned that moving from 3/8 to 1" would have been too much of a change for me to adapt to without repeatedly falling. Here is a 70 video stand up goaltending playlist I've put together over the past year or so. If you click through to youtube you will see the entire playlist.

  3. Glad to read you are back. Those old school style stops in your video are beautiful.
  4. This is inspiring. Well done. Keep going.
  5. I have a nice Heaton with tied on arms. The only thing I dislike about it is that because the arms are tied on, the maker had to attach to the torso round shields in front of the shoulders. These in addition to the triangular shoulder flaps. I look huge. I feel a chesty with sewn on arms allows a?shoulder cap which gives a more natural rounder shoulder appearance. What do you think? Pursuing this theory, I'm in the market for one with shoulder caps. I figure the following would be what I want: A white chesty with: 1. Shoulder caps sewn, rather than tied, to torso pad; 2. Symmetrical arms with padding on both sides of each elbow; 3. Relatively small clavicle flaps 4. Size medium in a Vaughn or 3 in Brown. I'm thinking of ones such as Brown 501 - 553 or Vaughn 900 - 1050. If you happen to have one available for sale or trade, please contact me.
  6. I've approximated it by zooming in on my laptop screen, then using my phone to record my laptop screen. If you have a screen recorder, maybe that would work.
  7. Yes. My BP21 is felt Micky Mouse ears with plastic shoulder caps.
  8. Ok. Thank you very much @Wonder35 . Another goalie and I were discussing how he wore the BP21 under the SA95 too. That is how I thought I'd wear them too. Although at least one catalogue shows the SA95 worn under the BP21.
  9. Thank you very much @Wonder35 That top photo must be the one I remember. Also interesting work on the BP21. When they filled the B21's side gap between the shoulder portion and the belly portion, did you notice it impede your arms from moving in front of your body? That mod is sort of like the flaps on modern chesties, particularly if you wear the BP21 over the SA95. Is that how you wore it? Interesting they went exoskeleton on the SA95. I'm considering adding /5" foam padding inside everywhere except the elbows and going exoskeleton over those. I figure teaming that up with a BP21 that looks like yours and a wildly expanded and padded clavicle protector may do the job.
  10. Yes, ARC referred to the pads having a velcro flap at the top that opens to allow any of three different foam sheets to slide in to produce different rebounds. According to the patent the arrangement of the squares affected the rebounds.
