When it worked, the man down low got a chance at an easy tap-in, and even when it didn't, it kept the opposition guessing. It was a pretty good percentage play.

The key is not to telegraph that the shot is going wide. Since Stone's shots can basically end up anywhere, he could probably manage that.
Pretty sure this was also every single Robyn Regher point shot over his time in Calgary
