NHL Playoffs: Howard Picks an Odd Time To Reverse VH

I came across this goal after watching some highlights this morning.  I don't know how I missed it when it first happened.  Here we have an example of a great goalie making a very odd choice and an elite shooter exposes the 8 inches above Howard's shoulder from a bad angle.

As another goalie coach said to me upon discussing this, "Jimmy was just lazy."   Take a look for yourselves, as Howard uses a post wrap technique to play a bad angle shot.
