What I have noticed isn't so much he is being spectacular between the pipes but he has been rock solid when needed and, more importantly, he has given the team confidence. The Canada D looks way happier with him back there and pinch more and simply are more part of an attack then they were against the US or the Swiss.
Last night they took their foot off that gas and it almost cost them. They won't make same mistake Sunday.
It pains me greatly to say this but as we cannot be in the room or know what is in the player's heads, given what I see on the ice I can see why (chokes back some vomit) Vancouver made him their captain.
