I have no idea how to make a butterfly save with the leg positions and etc, could someone give me tips or links on how to perform a butterfly save. Thanks.|||The butterfly save is kinda easy once you've learned it. Basically, here are some pointers:
- keep your chest straight while you go down, don't bend forward
- your shoulders should be square and up
- your stick will be somewhat oblique in front of you (depending on your paddle size), about 40 centimetres
- stick your arms to your body so it doesn't give gasps between them
- your blocker and your glove (open towards the puck, not facing the ice or so) should stick to the upper side of your pads, so no gasp between the blocker and the pad for example
- your pads should form a ''v'', with no or almost no hole between them, knees stick together.
NOTE: dropping on your knees with your legs behind you is NOT the butterfly
your legs should be as wide as you can get them
Now here's what it should look like: http://www.blanchardgoaltending.com/imag鈥?/a>

on your skates and wearing all goalie pads to do so comfortably and safely.|||Search your favorite goalie on youtube, and then study and analyze his butterfly position.
