Scouting Report
Was a proven winner and he worked very hard to improve his game. Never quit on a play and would make saves by any means necessary. Battled as hard as any goaltender ever has in the crease area. Was prone to brain cramps with the puck, since he did not handle it well. When he was off his game, he could get shelled due to a lack of textbook form in goal. Was also a mercurial, late-blooming talent.
Long Range Potential: Unorthodox, late-blooming quality goaltender.
