what do you do?

[maclacrosse]

what do you do when some one takes a crank right on the crease

[laxgthreeone]

stop the shot. what else would you do ... cry in a corner?

if you want advice stay tall . if there on the crease deck them before they shoot or mirror there stick .

[maclacrosse]

im asking what you do cause im having trouble with those. don't tell me stop the shot. im asking how do you stop the shoot :dummy:

[MaKiMaKi13]

what level are you playing at? who ever is dumb enough to crank up on the crease deserves to get laid on his arse either that or all you do is mirror his stick and you should stuff him

[FitzGoalie]

make yourself big and let your instincts and refelxes take over.

[sam.karcher]

If they're on your crease and they have the time to wind up for such a shot, you should have plenty of time to take him down.

[maclacrosse]

there not on the crease there like 5ft out

[lax39er]

I would say mirror his stick with yours and deck him befor he takes the shot, even if he scores you can put fear in to him that if he trys it again you are gunna deck him (this depends at what level you play at)

[sam.karcher]

Then you really need to have a conversation with your defense. That shouldn't happen more than once in a great while and that one time should be a fluke.

[kingwolf]

stay big and try to move into the shot so you have moved your body more into the shot , also try to but your stick near there stick. also if all else fails check them

[EHSLAX12]

get in his face, step out before he releases to cut all angles. thats all you can do.

[juskellaxin]

take a step out, mirror his top hand, and pray

[EricL]

When they crank a shot, they don't really have the distance to "aim" where they are shooting. If you have the right angle cut off you should save it easily. Mirror stick head to stick head and they should pass the ball into your stick if you do it right since the ball coming out is shooting out straight.

EDIT- I will totally DISAGREE with anybody that says run out and him hit him because even if you do make contact, the ball would more likely end up in the net since he can just a little toss around you or it comes out of the stick when you hit him.

[E-Crosse]

step out at him and mirror his stick, get right in his face so the ball has no where to go but in your stick or on your body

[taco5]

well i run and hit the kid and make him not want to come back to the crease. Maybe you would do something else though.

[goalstopper_76]

Run him over, thus stopping the shot

[JazzyJake]

exactly
you're a goalie, that doesn't mean be passive.
it means the refs are less likely to give you calls.
i.e. HIT SOME NOOBS :thumbsup:

[juskellaxin]

the only problem with that is the ball tends to end up in the net...so unless you got a really smart Creaseman who'll jump in, only come out if he has to hit a sharp angle shot or if he is literally toes on the line

[thekeep4]

well have an high arc and just throw your body infront of him.
