Good goalies who can read the game will also make saves on high danger chances. Just like in real hockey.
And this is without abilities.
We could flip it around and let the skaters play with some kind of gold or blue ability, while goalies play without any. Then every player out there would sometimes be able to pull off crazy shots that result in insane goals. Just like in real hockey.
But this makes no sense?
Play without abilities on every position. That creates fewer random outcomes. I do not understand at all why goalies should have some kind of superpower that kicks in sometimes even when the goalie made a mistake? It is completely unreasonable.
I played all evening yesterday without abilities, and good goalies are still good without them. It is the skaters who are struggling right now because they have been far too dependent on certain abilities that have been doing the offensive work for them
