<VIDEO>
I have to admit, I noticed that he'd frequently come out of the net to quickly handle the puck, but I think I underestimated just how smart he is when he does it and how much it helps both the defense, but also by giving the team a better chance to get or maintain control. He does it so quickly that sometimes I don't think it registers with me.

Thanks for the video.
I know the author said it isn't an exhaustive list, just 3 things he likes, but I am amazed he didn't mention lateral movement, as I think it is his most elite skill.
He did mention Wolf's elite edges, which overlaps lateral movement for sure, but IMO, Wolf is as quick and controlled moving laterally as any goalie I have seen in a long time. I hate to make the comparison, but he looks somewhat Hasek-esque in that regard.
