That's why those guys are so successful, because it's such a difficult play for a goalie. The open area of a hockey net is 24 square feet. Even Lu, who is a massive goalie can only cover half of that at best. Consider that the puck can move faster than anything else on the ice, and Bobby is at a disadvantage with a good shooter in front. Goalies almost have to see into the future, and sometimes that future is blurry.
