Help an old dog learn new tricks

I'm picking up playing goalie again after nearly 20 years. The time of leather straps and thigh boards on pads. I've noticed in some videos that when in butterfly goalies are now dropping more on the front of the knee rather than the inside of the knee. Is this the proper technique now? I am having trouble finding a decent video explaining this. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated. It would seem like I would need an insane gap on my toe ties to achieve this.

I was watching Maria Mountain's how to butterfly and she is dropping on the front of her knees (no pads or skates on).
