Once a goaltender is introduced to a real system that works it is remarkable what could happen. The Finnish goaltenders are no different. With goaltenders entering the NHL with high levels of proficiency only a small number of coaches in the world communicate the systemwell enough to have loyal followers. I enjoy watching the finnish goaltenders like Tuuka Rask ...solid positional goaltender, with exceptional reflexes and an undying passion to win that battle between player and goatender. Finnish goaltenders are so good because of their immense commitment to hard work on and off of the ice, in the physical gym and the mental gym.
