Sorry if this a fata.

Here's some interesting stuff from Ryan Lambert (a regular observer of Hockey East) on Brandon Hickey:

I asked Hickey's coach, David Quinn, about his development on Friday night, which turned out to be a 9-5 win. In it, Hickey was on the ice for two power play goals for, and one for at ES; as well as two against at evens and one against on the PK. It was a wacky game that featured 16 power plays, including a five-minute major and multiple 5-on-3s.

Said Quinn: "He can really shoot the puck. I don't know if there's a guy in the league who gets more pucks through than him. He keeps it low, and he can shoot any type of puck. You don't have to have to put it on a platter for him.
We were actually talking about this during the week. We had some guys working on their one-timers, and I asked them who had the best one-timer on the team. They both said — actually it was Jack [Eichel] and [draft eligible defenseman and occasional Hickey collaborator Brandon] Fortunato — but they both said Hickey. The thing about Hickey is he can hit a one-timer no matter where the puck is put towards him.

So, he's done a great job getting pucks to the net, and he's dangerous on the power play."
