of his skates. A goalie can desperately sprawl out, but there's still a big open net. And a lot of players are now roofing them on the backhand,
which makes doing splits less effective.
I've gone into more detail (in other forums) about this spinorama topic.
But no use of me sharing any more input here, I don't think anyone here really cares or plays goalie anyway.
I'll just say until I see it stopped, I'm not really going to leave it at a rest.

Forgive the double post but I just decided to put a little bit of effort in my argument.
1. Turco totally bit on that fake too and he still got it which means: (1) it's totally saveable if a goalie doesn't bite. (2) It's still saveable EVEN if the goalie bites via hailmary acrobatics.
2. Video is in 2006. So the saveability of this move isn't just a new found discovery to combat this move.
Soooooooooooooooooo we were saying? Unstoppable eh?
