Option 2

Well as a defenseman, most of the drills I work on with my goalie duo is passing. I've been on the bad end of a goalie leaving a puck for me when I assumed he was going to pass, and vice versa, one too many times. Communication between a goalie and their defenseman is key. I also work on battling in front of him. I wanna do my best to make sure I'm in the way to block shots, but not so much in the way that I'm screening him. There's a fine line in being that human shield and just being a nuisance. If we can grab on of the forwards to help us out, sometimes I'll take big slappers and have them do deflections so that they can get some save practice in there and just hone those hand-eye skills and catlike reflexes.
