Duncan - It's all a matter of when the pass happens, where the receiver of the pass is, and whether or not it's a one timer. It's extremely situational. Here are the options: If the player is in the high slot and is not 1-timing it, then it is best to get there set and on their feet. If the player is in the high slot and can 1-time it, then it all depends on whether or not the goalie thinks they can get there set on their feet. If they can get there set and then react to the shot, they are better able to adapt to the situation from their feet. If they don't think they can get there set and ready, then do a standard butterfly slide with their hands ready and active. If the player is in the low slot, the goalie should almost always butterfly slide. How close or far away the player is will dictate whether the goalie has their hands down in a blocking position or somewhat up and ready to use. If the play happens way too quick and the goalie has zero time, then do whatever it takes. At this point it isn't about being technically correct, it's about doing whatever it takes to get enough on the puck and keep it out of the net. These saves generally look the coolest but are far less than 50% effective.
