I know this is a Sun article, but I lol'ed at this one pretty good. I've always noticed his shot was goofy, but for whatever reason, he scores. It very much is like a lacrosse shot, where his hands are super tight together.

“He’s got a deceiving shot, but it’s an ugly looking shot. We always bug him about it,” grinned right-winger Troy Brouwer after Sunday’s late-afternoon practice at the Corral, the Flames’ first skate after their five-day bye in the schedule.
“His stick is this tall,” Brouwer explained, his paw just north of his hip to make his point. “And his hands are always together.”
Almost on cue, a couple members of the National Lacrosse League’s Toronto Rock — fresh off an 11-7 victory over the Calgary Roughnecks in a matinee at the Saddledome — mosey by en route to their team bus.
