Penalty kick score using the bottom of his foot

Other teams want to keep the puck away from this goalie

TheSofaKing says...

Awesome... back when goaltenders actually had to move their bodies to stop pucks. Today they just "position" their heaps of gargantuan, puck absorbing equipment and tada!!!! scoring is down and goalies are not one tenth as exciting as this guy was.

It is proven that the closer you get to the shooter, the less angers the puck has to get by you.

That's why in Soccer, or football the goaltender attacks the kicker, sometimes.


Example:
   .               -----
  .                     |
 .                      |
. Goalie            |
 .                      |
  .                     |
   .              ------

Versus
   .               -----

 .                      |
.         Goalie    |

   .              ------

Forgive the very badly formulated triangles. It means the closer you get to the vertice where the shooter is, then the less chance he has to get the ball or puck by you.

But this only lessens the odds, in the end it comes down to a player skill and luck.

The same is true for guns, and any thing that shoots, or spurts, or ... you get the idea...

That's one way to celebrate a goal in soccer
