Kevin Woodley

So if you watched him as the puck's moving around the zone, he plays a pretty conservative depth.

But then when plays get pushed east-west, and once he sort of reads shots, he will explode out at guys to cut down.

Like, it's almost a little old school.

He doesn't choose angle over depth, which is like a goaltending fundamental.

Get to the middle of the net, find your angle, and then take depth.

He goes right out to the spot.

And if you've got a good pre-scout and you're prepared for it, you can hold pucks.

You can go around him.

He doesn't default to his posts.

You can stretch him out and sort of get him between, you know, outside of his posts and funnel pucks behind him.

He's so long.

He competes.

He battles.

He will scramble.

But it's opposite of Freddie, who's very technical and everything is conservative depth.

And if you get to your spots and you make your shots, there's going to be space there.

But he's a completely different animal.

He doesn't handle the puck quite as, although he did in, I was surprised at how assertive he was at the puck coming in cold like that.

But I guess you're playing with house money at down four, nothing, not quite as efficient overall with it as Freddie Anderson.

And I think that's important in terms of negating the Vegas four check and allowing Carolina to get out the other way and in transition.
