The main thing I try and do for my goalie is play all three periods with a 0-0 mindset, never letting up and playing like the game is always on the line. I want to help them stay focused and not pile on any pressure. Sometimes it's like quicksand where one mistake leads to another and then another. If I get down or my teammates get down, it can get harder to dig yourself out. One the other side of that coin, if we have a lead, be it comfortable or close, it's important not to rest on our laurels. If I can keep the pressure off my goalie and get another goal or help move to puck forward, I'll do that. They play a very important position and it required some serious focus. They don't get to come off for line changes, they only get to rest when the game is over or if they get chased. If they get chased, a few of us weren't doing our job to begin with.
