    @TheGreech I am not part of the discord chat. I didn't even realize there was one tbh. I have seen a lot of the between the pipes videos on YouTube though. Really good stuff. Has definitely helped me a lot.

    Question for you or anyone who plays G regularly:

    What do you find is most effective way to get across for a possible 1T to the blocker side?

    I specify blocker side because for real bad situations glove side the right stick is an option but it's too slow blocker side. In general I utilize precision + butterfly + hug post as a type of controlled slide across (since I'll stop at post) but it can be too slow at times and the dive is inconsistent. Is the T push something I need to be using at higher levels more? I've noticed it's very sensitive and so haven't utilized it much.

    I have faith you will get your shot! When you do tho you have to make them count. Like you said you have ECU'd against teeams like utica and sanjose if you were to play amazing and steal a couple wins for your squad against these teams, Im thinking people would notice that. Keep Grinding them out.

    All you have to do is be active in the chatbox and not be totally horrible.

    Also be online a lot. Everyone has like 200 skaters on their list and maybe 5 goalies.

    if you and another goalie are the exact same skill wise and one of you is on everyday and the other is only on sparingly you’ll get the call.

    Everyone wants a goalie who’s active and always willing to play/warm up.

    Literally the easiest position to break into the ahl. Rarely does anyone want to spend multimillion dollars on a goalie. As long as you’re active and cheap you’ll probably get a chance

    I have no idea how I made it to the AHL. I never really asked why or how.
