Enroth cheats on a 2 on 1 and holtby gets a "helper"

I really like Buffalo's pocket goalie, Jhonas Enroth, but he gets burnt here cheating on the 2-1 and let's Holtby get on the scoresheet.  It is not easy to keep one's patience on a 2-1 at higher levels, but as long as one's D-man is in the best possible position to cut that pass off, you have to play and respect the shot.  This situation is used a lot in team flow drills, and many times goalies get caught leaning or positioning themselves off the puck carrier's shot-line.  Unfortunately, in the team drills, players rarely take that opportunity to shoot and burn'n'learn the goalie about his bad habits.

Take a gander...
