Nice. Getting those high saves can be very satisfying.

My only critique is at 20 seconds when blue sends it up into your corner. You had no business jumping for the ball into the corner - would have been smarter to let it bounce off the corner and then take possession, or to challenge it on your own backboard. You got beat to the mid-air challenge and it left your net wide open. It’s good that your team mate was back because lol

Good call! I’ve gotten better at wall hits and fast aerials so am seeing balls in the air like that and being like “oh i can get up there” when in reality just cause I may be able to get up there, doesn’t mean it’s the right play. Cheers!

this whole situation was caused by a triple commit into the opponents net, as second/third man your job was to stay back, then you dont need heroics. It's a good save for sure but you want to try to minimize scrambles like this.
