Is a goalie weaker (easier to score on) on his glove side or stick side?

Answer 1

Usually stick side....but i have played against some goalies that are weaker on their glove side, but i guess it just really depends on the goalie.

Answer 2

Usually the weakest spot for a goalie is low stick side. Goalies usually wear there glove on their dominant side. I play goalie and my glove side leg is a lot easier to use. It takes a lot of hard work to get the other leg to the postion you need to stop a low stick shot. That is why butterfly is so popular now. But the hardest shot to stop is always low stick side.

Answer 3

Depends on goalie and situation, but most of the time stick side is easier to score on...

Answer 4

depends on the goalie and the situation, but logically which doesnt always mean anything you would think the glove side would be the strongest as most goalies are dominant on that side and have more body controll and coordination. but hard to say depends on what the game situation dictates

Answer 5

Depends on the goalie. I see more weakness on the blocker side. Some are really great with the stick tho.

Answer 6

stick side : you can't catch a puck with a stick, especially a stick that is a lot smaller than the glove on the goalie's other hand.

Answer 7

depends on the goalie! im weaker on the glove side because i usually give juicy rebounds off my glove but can control the rebounds with the blocker

Answer 8

Like most stick side. As the game wears, the glove side might be the best side to shoot on. That glove gets heavy.

Answer 9

depends on the reflexes of the goalie but i must say its significantly easier to score on stick side

Answer 10

Depends on the goalie...Patrick Roy has a great glove....Dominick Hasek has an active stick...Jacques Plante used to stop the puck with whatever ...usually his face..LOL!
