Story of this game is Fedotov is establishing himself as an NHL goalie. Being 6'7, it will not be pretty at times. Just playing big will get the job done most times. 2 weeks ago, guy looked destined to go back to the KHL after the season. Now there is at least hope.

Some of the goals he gave up were questionable.

when will York be back

I'm asking a serious question; I do not see anything special. What makes him so great? He seems very slow and gets moved off the puck quite easily. I was expecting Panarin-lite or someone who stick handles like Necas the other night. I'm ready to be enlightened. What am I missing? Please no sarcasm. I have 3 daughters and get enough of that in my daily life...

Hockey sense, hands, vision and execution. Those are his hallmarks. His game is subtle, calculated and effective. He's a chess master, not a flashy show boater.

Like on that GWG... he knew with the puck on the goal line that Ullmark would drop down into the RVH as all Euro/Russian goalies do. And he knew EXACTLY where the hole would be, when it would open up, and he had the precision to put the shot EXACTLY where it needed to go. Looks like a lucky goal but make no mistake... that was all calculated.

Dudes like Lindros and McDavid are easy to appreciate. Michkov is more of a Kucherov or Larionov.

He saw that Ullmark didn't have the fully covered so he put it on net

Exactly why the forsberg comparisons were dumb, he’s not a puck dominant player at all
