In other countries they focus on explosive athleticism whether they are tall or not, not size and drilling position to a fault.The state of Canada's goaltending is so sad.
For a while, overfocus on size and positioning worked, but shooters find weaknesses, and a style can't adapt like a great athlete can.
Askarov is one of the best NHL goalie prospects and they would NEVER let him play the style he does in Canadian juniors. its kinda like how the ducks are trying to force Zegras to play defensely. They basically clipped his wings and his confidence and swagger are gone
