CQ is uniquely oppressive to goalies so glad to see it banned, it's so demotivating letting in goals that you're correctly positioned for and should be easy saves but somehow go in anyway, sometimes even through your equipment etc.
now I've also seen the flipside with the ridiculous mr fantastic saves and I agree that sucks but if you start banning goalie abilities you're just hamstringing the already horrible goaltending that's been in this game since last nhl even further.
I think the best solution if you want to ban goalie abilities is to ban all shooting abilities as well, from the few EEO sauna games I've played I actually find it to be the best experience from a goalies perspective as it removes most of the bs goals created by x-factors and provides relatively consistent gameplay so would prefer that option OR just don't ban CQ
so pretty much this:
