I wonder how bad Neil was, looked like he got cut across the back of the leg by the skate. A montreal player had his Achilles severed completly last week the same exact way. OUCH!

Miller let’s that 5-hole just air out. Terrible between the legs. The alfredson goal was a little ify too.

he can usually get it closed, his problem is bringing his back leg with him on 1/4 turn butterfly slides. he also lifts his stick up (sometimes he just picks it up, others- like in the winter classic- it seems he’s trying to decide if he wants to paddle down or not). I thought he did a great job power pushing into a narrow butterfly slide on that off angle shot by heatley at the end of the third though.

Yeah, he has definitely gotten quicker as far as legs are concerned. He’s still shaky blocker side. Glove side he’s phenomenal
