But to your point, nobody's traded more of them better than the Vegas Golden Knights.
And so it'll be a different test, obviously.
And it's also different because, you know...
It's different when it's Shea Theodore who's got his head up at the point looking for gaps in the traffic.
It's different when it's a guy the size of Keegan Colasar in front of the net.
So there's so many different elements that Vegas brings.
They'll get those bodies to net.
They'll create the traffic.
But then they also have skilled guys to find the spots.
And to your point, Sat, it's a really good one.
Not so much on Freddie Anderson per se.
Like, to me, every goalie,
I would be working to attack them low, high and behind the net.
Like you force them to, as soon as you force them to pick a side of the crease or a post to be on or force them to turn and look behind them, like they give up vision of everything in front of them.
As soon as you have to look behind the net, you lose track of where guys are moving on the other side of that.
And so you can be just a half second late to pick up where that pass is going.
And I think the same applies to defensemen.
I've never had this conversation with defenders, but it seems clear to me that Vegas working below the goal line and out of the corners, forcing the Carolina defenders in a man-on-man defense to sort of have to turn and look and find their guys who are moving off puck while still keeping track of it down low.
It just feels to me...
like that's something that they're either going to have to adjust to or just do a better job in their coverage of because it looked like Vegas was having success on it.
