Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 4566498, member: 266"] As an ex close defender, it's amazing how much strong goalie play settles the entire defensive unit. It's heartening to not see many (any?) of the needless slides that created so many shots for opposing offenses last year (so far). I wonder how much of those awful slides last year might've been influenced by a lack of confidence in goalie play. I truly believe Mark's stellar play has helped organize the defense to improve their slide timing. I haven't attended any games this year so I don't know if he also may be a better communicator, too.
