Hey did you hear what Roberto Luongo did after the Bruins shot 12 pucks past him in Games 3 and 4 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals?

Well, apparently he was so depressed afterwards that he went for a walk in downtown Boston and made his way into South Station. In his shame he decided the only solution was to kill himself.

So he got down onto the tracks and waited for the train to take him out of his misery... but it went through his legs.

I kid, I kid.

Now, I don't know how Bobby Lou prepares for the game off the ice.

What I do know is plenty of goaltenders benefiting from the workouts included in my Next Level Hockey Training System.

One of them a female goalie who already made her way into the Women's National Team this year at age 18.

She's also one of the 4-5 goalies in contention to represent Team Finland at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, Korea. But we don't waste mental bandwidth thinking about that in the gym. If she makes the final Olympic roster, great. If not, her time will come in 2022.

As for her workouts, she doesn't get any special treatment due to her being a goalie. Or female. And she clearly enjoys the way we lift.

"I've never felt this strong", she told me between sets of front squats earlier this week right before hitting another PR.

She's now also banging out weighted push-ups and chin-ups like the rest of the guys.

She knows the bar is set high, and she better bring her best effort every time she enters the weight room.

It's expected from her and everyone else who trains with me.

Only potential problem I can imagine arising for goalies when following my training program?

No way a train will pass through your legs anymore. Knowing this, I can't recommend it if you harbor suicidal tendencies.

Then again, you'll hardly have a reason to get upset and lie down on train tracks in the first place since you'll be on top of your game when the championship is on the line.

So drop down into a butterfly, squeeze those pads shut to cover the five-hole, and lead with the eyes as you power push your way laterally over ​to:
