Prompt 2
If you had asked me this question at the start of my career, the answer would have been very different. My initial idea was to be more of a playmaker, leading counter attacks from the back, firing pucks around, picking up As for fun. I very much evolved as a player in St Louis though. The requirements of the team were different and I adapted to fill the need of the team, over my own initial aspirations. As a more defensively minded player now, my big one is Defensive Read. Not being blessed with huge size, nor particularly impressive physicals, on account of a period of inactivity, being able to pre-empt what the forward might do is a big leveller. It lets me get in place to break up the play before they are right in my face. As I develop, I will hopefully get better at this! I also believe Stickchecking to be much more important than hitting. For starters, the downside of missing a stickcheck, and the recovery time before you can try again, are much less than whiffing on a hit. I’m not a spectacular, highlight-reel player, I want to be a team guy, unspectacular but reliable. Well, my hatty v Texas might suggest otherwise, but I’m serious! |
