"The idea is to take away the bottom of the net. Timing is key. Go down too soon and the player wrapping it will pass it in front. Go down too late and the puck is stuffed in. The reason you can't defend it standing up is time. If you stand against one post and have to move to the other post, you have to travel almost six feet. If you butterfly and switch sides, you only have to go a foot or two because your pads are already covering most of the net. Sure, there's a chance your pads may not get right up against the post, but if the puck comes out in front, the whole bottom of the net is covered and you're forcing the shooter to put it in the top of the net from close range."

(Bob McKenzie: "Wraparound Goals", The Hockey News 1997-98 Yearbook, p. 50)

"I used to like to handle the puck, I used to like to skate out of my net. But I played forward, my last year of junior I played forward and I got some confidence in handling the puck and skating. And I felt that no matter where I was playing, what league, if I had the puck, they weren't going to score. And that was right about 99% of the time. Occasionally, they'd take it off me and have an open net but in most cases I think I was pretty wie in my decisions as to when to go with it and when not to go with it. I was fortunate to have a team that understood I was that way and they sort of stepped back a little bit and they responded to what I was doing."

"It's a simple job. You must only watch the puck. If you can see it, you can stop it."
