NHL Playoffs: Holtby gets caught in between a butterfly and reverse-VH

I've been having some great discussions with other other goalie coaches about the reverse-VH and dead-angle goals and I'm learning some very interesting things.  I hope to be able to post the discussions on the blog for those of you who don't tweet pending permission from the other participants.

Anyways, I found this interesting play from last night's game of the Caps vs Ranger.  Holtby, who is one of my favourite new Canuckistan goalies, plays this net drive a little oddly and gets burnt with his reverse-VH.  The other issue is the quick plant of his left skate on the post during the retreat that basically forces him to either butterfly or reverse-VH off the shot line.  Essentially, he ends up protecting the far post rather than the center of the net with this position.  This play summarizes the two different twitter threads with two different groups of coaches.  In my mind, there has to be a point where the goalie has to square his hips, center on the shot-line and play the shot and let his teammates worry about the other options.  Did Holtby make the mistake of over-reading the play?

Here Holtby looks like a fill-in goalie during a pick-up game with strangers.
