Yeah, so – if they’re going to ban all goalie perks, then they also need to remove the players’ “Super Backhand Shot” and “Thunder Shot” perks. After a one-timer, goalies get this kind of “penalty” that makes them freeze up, which a real goalie would never do – unless you have “Post to Post” to counter it.
And “Sponge” might as well be removed too if they’re already taking away the shooting perks. It’s ridiculous that you can fire off a backhand shot from half the ice (okay, I’m exaggerating a bit) – but even from the blue line straight into the top corner? Come on.
Honestly, removing all perks would be the only fair solution.
I’ve seen plenty of shots where the goalie is out of position and still makes a stretched-out save (which I’m also against), but very few of the well-placed shots – the ones that graze the post – actually go in. That’s probably because there are very few players who can actually aim really well.
So yeah, I’m 100% in favor of banning goalie perks, but then the super shot perks have to go as well.
