In today's episode, we start off by discussing Pete DeBoer's departure from Dallas, and give some thoughts on the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals. Then, we take a deep dive into situational awareness, and how to improve at applying the skills you develop into game situations for success.

Whether You Made the Team or Didn't, the Work Begins Now- Off Angle Episode #23

With many of our goalies just finishing "tryout season", we discuss off-season training following tryouts. Whether you were selected for the team or cut is not as important as the work you do after that.

We talk about how to manage your offseason and season for improvement, and the proper mindset to have every day to reach your goals. Then, we briefly discuss Round 2 Stanley Cup goaltending performances, and break down some of the goals...
What's Happening with Hellebuyck?-Off Angle Episode #22

In today's episode we discuss Hellebuyck's performance in the playoffs so far. Even though he is one of the best goalies in the world, he isn't playing his best in playoffs.

After that, we once again address the criticism around the media regarding Stuart Skinner's performance in the playoffs thus far. If you'd like to know more about our camps and...

Swayman Wants HOW MUCH??-- Off Angle Episode #19

In this episode, we discuss the new contract offered by the Boston Bruins to Jeremy Swayman, and speculate on why he turned it down, and how much he actually may want. Then, we compare that contract to other elite goalies' contracts around the league, and whether we think that is a fair contract for him. Are the Bruins being cheap, or is he asking for too much?

And we comment on why when they don't work well together, both goalies, and the team, are worse because of it.
