1. ALWAYS take a step toward the shooter and cut off the angle.
2. if youa re 1-on-1 don't hunker down in the net - He will score every time. You need to run at him and try to put your stick to his stick and hopefully stuff him. The 1-on-1 is the most high percentage shot so you have a better chance at just running at him.
NEVER run at the player. depending on were there running you step out 2-3 feet and move in as they come in and always stay on the balls of your feet and rock side to side the take then step out when they shoot.
