Miller talks about why he likes the new Larceny pads
Stoning benders and showing up tenders since '95. All who appear before him shall be saved. Verse #30 In Miller we Trust --Buffalo Sabres Hockey
Interesting video. During the practice scenes, he got a lot of pop-outs but it looked like he was letting the pucks deflect off the thumb section and he wasn't even closing the trapper. Anyone here do that?
Sometimes, when the puck seems uncatchable, I go into a mode of keeping the trapper wide open on all fast shots to cover more square footage (I don't know how else to describe it). Then, as I'm blocking more shots, I'll get more confident and start catching shots. Sounds dumb.

I play with my glove down against my pad in a more blocking style butterfly. The coach i had said its better as you can stop those pucks comming in just above the pad, but also when a higher one comes you only have one direction to move. Takes the guesswork out of what way to move your glove. I find it works for me anyway. Back to the point he said its better to just try and block those low shots instead of trying to catch them for the same reason that you are describing.
