When an announcer says 'this guys a lefty' on TV that means the guys glove is on his right. In hockey we don't go by which side the goalies glove it on to call him 'left' or 'right', well, at least not in north america.

Again, i'm know i'm being very nitpicky here for something so minor and more or less insignificant, but just thought i'd throw it out there anyways. (Please don't let my disection of a still-early-build-pre-beta-screenshot-teaser discourage you from posting more...)
Nitpicky - Goalies don't wear gloves, skaters do. Goalies wear a blocker and a trapper.

Goalies who wear their trapper on the left hand, as most do, shoot left, not right. They hold their stick with their blocker hand, right, and it's a natural movement to slide that hand up to the butt while the trapper hands goes to the middle of the stick, therebye making them left handed shooters.
