Nevermind. Basically i'm saying if the goalie plays deep in net, he has a good chance to save the "low shot" spinorama. Given he can reach the post.
(although the goalie leaves a ton of sure-goal options for the shooter if the shooter keeps his head up).

As soon as he went out wide I said "ah fuck here comes that stupid spinorama" to my roommate and that's exactly what he did. Predictable is easy to stop.

I was trying to explain earlier that it MIGHT have had something to do with how Raymond skated in, making Smith easily predicting the spinorama.
Or maybe not. I'm sure Smith did his homework, buy Raymond has a bagful of dumb (unsuccessful) moves too that involve coming in from the side.
Either way, Bertuzzi would have scored on a low shot anyway in that video.
If you compare the two shootouts, Smith didn't have his right skate against the right post, therefore Smith slid out of position, like every other goalie.
But players that go high on the spinorama pretty much seals the deal.
Because playing deep in net won't save that still.

Most Canuck players as of current roster haven't displayed a lot of consistency (besides maybe Edler). But Raymond wasn't any better or worse than the rest.
Chances of Raymond scoring with the spinorama was very high rated. Even though it got stopped, it never failed until yesterday.
And it was as one trick pony as Burrows fake, backhand move. 99% of the time when Burrows didn't use this move, he wouldn't score.
Kesler likes to mix things up, which is good... but he's only 20%
Don't remember when's the last time I've seen Daniel come into the shootout with confidence like this.
