Kiprusoff was really underrated for his puck handling. He wasn't ever Brodeur or Turco, but he had excellent communication with his D and he seemed to always put the puck to the open corner.
You can actually see that our D are not used to a goaltender that can stop the puck behind the net. Against the Sharks the other night, Ortio stopped a hard rim around the back wall, and Gio nearly fell over trying to intercept a puck that was never going to get to him.
And on topic, Johnny remains amazing. I've been watching hockey every other night for 13 years, and I've never seen someone play the way he does. Fans who remember the 80s can perhaps disagree.
The kid is an artist.
