Talk:Five-hole

Discussion

Everybody agrees that the space between the goalie's pads is the "five-hole", however, there is some debate about the other four holes at the corners of the net and historically are contrary to what is shown in the diagram. According to Merriam-Webster, “The concept of the five-hole likely originated with Jacques Plante, NHL goalie and author of the 1972 book On Goaltending. Plante numbered five 'holes' in the net that goalies needed to protect: four at the corners of the net, and the hole between the goalie’s legs. Though there is some debate about how to number holes one through four — Plante lists one through four as stick-side low, glove-side low (same as diagram), glove-side high, and stick-side high. Additionally, I've also heard of the "6-hole", under the goalie's blocker-side arm and "7-hole", under the goalie's glove-side arm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauljohngriffin (talk • contribs) 20:19, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Skeptical

I can't really see hockey players adopting the terminology of a bunch of fat bowlers, Bob. Chris66 0901 August 18 2006

With the exception of the Five-hole, none of the "holes" labeled in the diagram match the descriptions in the text. (They also do not match those listed at the external link...) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.53.63.6 (talk) 16:06, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
