His skill set is undeniable.
But what surprised\encouraged me the most was how he won puck battles with a combination of quickness and body position.
The guy is 150 freakin pounds and he was in the corners fighting for the puck. Remember when Backlund\Boyd\Sven would all topple over with a breath of wind?
When you are that small you almost have to be scientific with picking your spots in battles, not just go into the corners without any thought.
I was supremely impressed with his puck battles last night.
