I'm not sure why people are complaining about Raymond failing at the

I'm not sure if quick snapshot can be counted as a go-to move.
Unless they are being aimed at the same spots every time.
But as far as predictability goes, snap shots are hard to read...
there's nothing to read from. The goalie can see a snap shot coming,
but has no idea where the shooter's aiming. Which is why Linden was so good.

The most dangerous shooter on the shootout is someone who can score with many different tricks.
Johnathan Toews is a good example of this.
Pavel Datsyuk is another guy with a million different moves. Here's one example.
As a goalie, you don't know what they are going to do. Shoot, where? Deke? Forehand, backhand?
In the shootout, as a goalie, you really don't have any time to "see" where the shot is going if the guy is a quality shooter. Most of the time, you have to just reach out and hope that your oversized gear will stop the puck.
