- Welcome back NHL Goalie Breakdown’s presented by MAP South Goaltending. This segment is designed for goalies to learn how to think critically and evaluate goalies when watching games and highlights. I encourage you all to comment and direct message in hopes of continuing the conversation in order to help your game. Also, please DM me your recommendations for next week’s post!
This weeks’ segment is on Juuse Saros. Saros is what most people view as “Vertically Challenged”, listed at 5’11. He was able to overcome this stigma by being an elite athlete and using hockey IQ in order to work his way from the AHL to the NHL. This season, he took the starting job away from legend Pekka Rinne and helped the Predators into a playoff position at the time of the NHL freeze.
We will focus on his technical and tactical game with it broken down into different scenarios: Line Rush and In-Zone. And how this has lead him to a solid 17-12-4 record, with a 2.70 GAA and 0.914 Sv% on a team that gives up a number of high danger scoring opportunities (10.94 per game, source: Natural Stat Trick).
I’m a small goalie so this was very helpful. Now all I need to do is get faster reaction time, much better flexibility, new genetics, strength, better hand eye, better positioning and better skating. Easy
Right 😂 I’m a goalie coach and I’m only 5’8 so when I get smaller goalies they often say they wanna play like Sarros and I’m like kid there’s aspects of his game every small goalie should incorporate but only Sarros can play just like Sarros
Sarros 💀
Thats the first time i watched a whole 22 minute video without skipping a second
Thank you for the feedback!
Dude…
5-11 goalie here! I did not know this about him!
Holy crap how does this guy only have 15 subs? The analysis was so in-depth and well done and it just oozes effort. Keep up the great work! You earned a new sub!
Thank you Christian, appreciate the support!!
@@mapsouthgoaltending9553 Glad to see you got more subs now.
We dont like people who advertise themselves on others pages, but
hit me up if you need audio for you vids man. Anything from background tension music to intro stuff, promise high quality. Nothing in return.
5'3 freshman goalie here. Great help as I am small at my level of play
5’9” goalie & preds fan. This guy coming into the league as I trained to be a goalie was so, so massive for me. I was also a soccer goalie at the time and it just was so special to see him do what he does. I always had to play above my size while coaches told me I was “too short” and then became surprised when I actually showed them what I could do
15:54 its a deflected puck, thats why he was going lowglove save imo. His own attacker deflected that puck and it change direction a lot
5’9” goalie here . I love Saros’ playing style . A couple of things definitely brought to light here in my own game . Keeping fingers above the wrist , not going down into RVH early when there is no shot threat, and beating he pass on your feet. Among a few other things , this gave me some pointers to keep in mind next time .
Great vid! If this kid were tending for the Jets or the Leafs he would be in Vezina talks for sure!!
Thank you I appreciate the support! He certainly flies under the radar down in Nashville and think him playing so well down the stretch will put him on the map!
@Cole Haskett wait what? Why? He’s playing better than Saros. Easily
Correct, and now Saros is nr one at the Preds and litteraly is half the team. Love to see Saros in another team soon. The thing only goalies seems to understand, is that Saros is not on the highlight reels of the week. Because that is panic saves going well. Saros rarely comes to the panic swimming mode because he is sooo composed. As MAP says, he makes it look easy (where a lot of the leagues goalies would have been scored on). Great vid keep thanks.
@@michaelmansouri9084 Are you a tennis fan first and happen to catch the odd Preds game by accident? Is that where your "easily" opinion came from? Because it sure is shit not factually and statstically correct about Pekka. Its going on 2 straight seasons in row that Old Man Pekka is the bench warmer... easily the bench warmer.
Look at him now
awesome video man, but the goal that you included I personally feel like it was not exactly Saros's fault because you can see that the shot was tipped from one of the Nashville players. I think you made a very good point about how there isn't time for a secondary movement and I completely agree since I struggle with that myself but I also feel like it is a little bit of an unfair judgement of that particular situation.
You expressed my opinion very well, I wanted to write the same.
Saros is a beast constantly.
And when it comes to second analysed goal vs Habs, the problem maybe wasn´t post to post tracking, he does it very well. He made the mistake that he didn´t see the player who scored in the final because Saros (and defense of course) looked only at the player behind the net and other two habs on his left side. Of course it was very difficult, chaotic and fast.
Deficient view of the situation before the net was problem even against the Minnesota. When I´m in the net, I prefer to stand widely on feet in wide squat. Maybe Saros means different and prefer to kneeling (and we see that he was almost perfectly on the right place on the right time). But I think he was surprised that the Wilder is so near in front of him and it´s miracle he was there so fast.
But I agree, interesting video and perfect goalie, thanks.
Loved the video! Great analysis. On the Fowler goal though, I think the puck changed direction off his D-man’s stick giving it a rizing trajectory which could explain why his glove went down and then up
Amazing effort went into this, great video of a great goalie. Respect!
Great video. So far, I've watched almost all of your goalie analysis videos. Thank you for your hard work. This one is particularly relevant as I'm also 5'11" and learning to play 'bigger'.
One suggestion. Turn up the volume in your videos. Most of them are extremely quiet.
Awesome video dude. If I could suggest turn up your mic a bit, I had to turn up my speakers quite loud to hear you. Looking forward to more!
Hey Cody,
Thank you for the feedback and I'll try to calibrate the mic to make it easier for listening! I appreciate the support
Awesome video, thank you very much, it is a great fun.

But very interesting video and perfect goalie, thanks a lot
Small goalies get passed on due to their size but Juuse is proving them wrong.
Thanks I love juuse. Little guy with great legs
Thank you for the support! He is such a fluid and explosive athlete, extremely fun to watch!
Great video, as always. Keep em coming, baby!!!
Great video! and good in depth analysis
Thank you! Hopefully you enjoy the rest of the series!
I watch this video everyday, so informative🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fantastic analysis. I'm not sure if it's a weakness or not since I'm just a fan, but one thing I've noticed is that Saros has a tendency to duck when pucks are coming near his head. I know that's a natural self-preservation tendency and probably very difficult to control, but it's just something quite noticeable with him.
Saros is so much fun to watch. I do worry about his ability to stick long-term because as soon as an injury or age affects his cat-like quickness, that might be the end of the NHL for him.
Great videos.
I'd love to see a breakdown of Mike Smith. He's playing some excellent hockey in late years, and is such a different goalie from most. Seems to cover low and deep really well, with such a battle minded style.
This is really helpful stuff! Definitely gives me some ideas to work on. I'm realizing that my stance is kind of old school and I need to get into a lower crouch (with the shoulders more forward).
Love it!!!
Really nice videos!! 10/10!! :)
Dannnng Saros, nice equipment set up!
I have watch this like four times
Nice video and good analysis
Legend has it this is the very video Juuse watched to help him that the net from Pekka.
Great work!
Really great review ! However I think that the reason he drops his glove is because the shot was tipped
Love it, next some bobrovsky?
Love these vids
This guy needs to be more well known
Why?
Nice video!
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
MAP South Goaltending let’s support each other
Do Sergei Bobrovsky next, I’d love to see the technical flaws that have lead to such a disappointing season from the 2 time Vezina winner
Hey Silas,
I'd love to do Bob soon, I'll put him up in our Instagram poll. I wanted to have it be interactive for our viewers/followers so we post an instagram poll each Sunday to determine who will be analyzed the following week. So cast your vote (@mapsouthhockey) and this week will be Jordan Binnington!
Could you guys break down Dylan St. Cyr's game?
Would love to see a video on bobrovsky and giorgiev
This is fantastic. As a preds fan, i'm always curious how this goalie transition will go. I also hope to see one of Askarov if you ever get around. Hes very exciting. You definitely earned a sub from me! 🙌
It’s not going well
@@michaelmansouri9084 it’s going fantastic, actually. Vezina finalist last year
Can you do shesterkin next time please
i wish my 9 year old goalie would watch this
Jonathan Quick?
Do Gibson next
Please do Pittsburgh
Same
Do Jonathan quick
It would be fun to analyze Quick soon, I'll put him up in our Instagram poll. I wanted to have it be interactive for our viewers/followers so we post an instagram poll each Sunday to determine who will be analyzed the following week. So cast your vote (@mapsouthhockey)
Wait when did he steal the spot from Rinne? I’ve watched the Preds since they started and Saros isn’t our future so would love to hear how he replaced Rinne
This post was done at the end of last season when Saros played every game of their play-in series. He also played a couple more games and had substantially better numbers during last season. Also, he has identical career numbers to Rinne (albeit in a much smaller sample size) and I'd say Rinne has had a pretty incredible career as a franchise cornerstone. This video was no slight to him, it was just fun to evaluate a goalie who has a lot of relatable skills due in part to the fact he is 5'10.
So it may have been a bit premature to call him the future, particularly when they ended up drafting Askarov, who I think is a fantastic athlete. Not many 19 year olds come into the NHL ready ready to start so it could be good competition between Askaov and whoever is they plan on having him compete with. This is assuming he comes over, he is under contract in the KHL for next year. Probably a good assumption it won't be until 2022. But their net is in good hand with their pipeline. Not to mention a former teammate of mine, Conor Ingram who was recently and AHL all-star and a great goalie in his own right. You should be pumped for their goaltending future!
You been under a rock for 2 seasons?
Bruh, Saros is one of the best goalies in the NHL. Saros, Lankinen, Vasilievskiy stand out.
@@roopekanerva5606 look at us (Preds) now. Saros as the starter and Lankinen as his backup. Pretty solid
Anyone who thinks Juice is our future is insane. Askarov will come in next year and Rinne will retire. Y’all crazy
Crazy is projecting some choke artist in the World Juniors TWO years ina row vs other 19 year olds will do anything in the Bigs.... Insane indeed. lol
@@No_Fear_33 Agreed. Mansouri is a Askarov fanboy. Juuse Saros was even a better talent than Askarov when playing his WJC´s. Just look at his numbers. Saros and Teräväinen basically won the 13/14 WJC´s for the Finns. I pretty Michael Mansouri has not even seen Askarov play in KHL or WJC.
