Option 2: Before every game, Nor will go talk to his team starting goaltender to ask him if there is anything he can do during the lineup to help them prepare for the game. Most of the time, Nor will start the warm-up by shooting pucks at his goalie blocker and glove to get his hands moving. Then his goalie will get into a butterfly position and Nor will shoot at both his pads to get the goalie legs moving. This is usually all the help they need during the warmup. In a game where his goalie is not facing a lot of shots, Nor will try to get check on them if the faceoff is on their size of the ice and give him some words of encouragement. Other than that, Nor leaves his goalie alone, because he knows goalies are usually highly focused on the game and they want to be left alone to stay in their own mental zone that helps them perform.
