As for bullet 2: Attacker comes down the right wing and shoots far side (which would be Vladar's blocker side). I've seen him over play the short (glove) side a lot or be positionally ok but react late to it. Haven't seen him get caught on it yet as the shooter either missed or Vladar barely got a sliver of his body on it.
To be fair, that's one of the more difficult shots to save. Jarome made a living on it.

Small sample size, do you still think your assessment was fair, or just a personal observation, opinion?
If it was Mike Smith he probably would have come out of the net far too much and let in some week goals. Vladar on the other hand does a lot of good things. Markström's experience probably also comes in handy.
I like the way Vladar kicks pucks away with his pads down, the speed at which the puck goes to the sides or corners is hard to get a rebound. The overtime loss where the puck bounced off Markström's pad then straight to an incoming player made me think about how Vladar makes that play a little differently. Was interesting to see Markström using that kick with his pad down against Chicago. Maybe these guys feed off each other.
