Lighthouse Hockey. He has become a zen master of deflections and back handers from close range. Only one empty netter among the 40...




Looked like 35 or so were within 6 feet of goal

Only a couple of sniper goals from the faceoff circle. Excellent hands on rebounds and superb hand-to-eye on tip-ins. Don't know if the team will succeed without better defense.


That's where he plays...

he's not a "sniper" and doesn't have that skill set. He's great at using his body to get inside position and has, as you note, great hands and reactions in the dirty areas. They need big help on D, including better defensive play from their F. They also desperately need a G. Unfortunately, Sorokin re-upped in the KHL. He'll get good experience but that's a long-term fix.


Anders and his teammates need to improve play in

their own zone. It is time for GM Garth Snow to exit the front office. Maybe he can become an emergency goalie!


rumors are it might be Lamoriello taking over *

I'd bet on "involved" rather than "taking over"....

75 is 75, after all


He might be better than Halak or Greiss *

Garth Snow was a bad goalie, which has made him great at identifying bad goalies as a GM


A little humor, chief....

but Halak and Greiss are pretty bad. As for id'g Goalies, we'll find out if Sorokin ever decides to leave the KHL.
