post leg up

     Around a month or so ago, Steve McKichan wrote the article “dying in the pie.” The main premise of the article was low percentage, poor angle goals being scored due to an over use of the “Post Leg Up,” “VH Drive,” or any other name people have come up with. Not more then a week after reading this article, I was watching NHL live and seen 4 highlights in one segment where goals were scored due to this position. This means 4 preventable, low percentage goals could have been prevented very simply by utilizing some other form of save selection.
