JAYou can’t play like Juuse Saros
•
Let’s put his insane athleticism, mobility, tracking and the fact that he’s 5’11 aside.
•
One of the keys to his success comes from his ankles.
•
It isn’t some weird foot thing. It’s breaking down that Jusse is able to do things that most goalies cannot.
•
The wider a goalie plays, the less surface area of their blade they have to make contact on the ice.
•
The less blade, the less force he is able to produce, no matter how strong the goalie.
•
The ankle naturally everts in order to support the weight of the body and not damage itself - resulting in less blade on the ice.
•
However, Saros is able to get insanely wide and still matin relatively “neutral” ankles.
•
This allows him to maximize the surface area of his blade even though he is well outside of what is typically comfortable.
•
This adds up to him being explosive from an ultra wide position.
•
This ankle ability is absolutely insane and it allows him to dominate despite his size.
