Had tremendous quickness and agility. Anticipated superbly and was aggressive in his approach against shooters; he was at his best when his positioning did not fail him. Tall and lanky, he possessed the ability to dominate games at the NHL level. Lacked bulk, which made him more vulnerable when forwards crashed his crease area. It also led to more wear and tear (and durability concerns over the course of a long NHL campaign). At times, he stayed too deep in his net and could be guilty of over-committing when moving laterally. | |
Long Range Potential: | Quality, incredibly agile goaltender. |
