<h2>Basic Stance</h2>
<p>
Possibly the most important technical aspect for a goalie to master
is their stance. Almost every save or movement innitiates
from your stance. Your stance is a crouched position that you take,
with gloves out, and knees bent. Generally, your stance should
have your legs bend at a 90 degree angle, however each goaltender
must feel comfortable with what they are doing. Keep in mind that
if your knees don't bend enough you will have less power when executing
a push. The goalie should also watch that they do not get into the
habit of having an overly wide stance either. This will also impede his
ability to move laterally, which is never a good thing as a goalie.
A good guide is to have your feet a little more than shoulder width
apart (6-8 inches), but once again the goaltender's comfort comes first.

<p>
When it comes to your glove positioning while in your stance be
sure to keep your gloves infront of your body to cover more net.
When you bring your gloves forward be sure not to bring your stick too
far forward or you will find you will be giving up alot of coverage as
your blade will be at an angle to the ice and will deflect pucks into
the net rather than stop them.

Though this may sound basic, and it is, it will be the foundation on
which you build your other skills around.

The problem is that the content that has been split right and is supposed to site beside the image is to the right but underneath the image.
