Detroit Red Wings: Picking the Corners Clean

Redmond, currently the Detroit Red Wings color commentator actually knows a lot about hockey in general and scoring in particular. Of course, scoring today is different than when Redmond patrolled the right wing at Olympia Stadium. Goalies today, though gradually downsized in recent years, are padded in ways that would embarrass the Pillsbury dough-boy.

Add to that goalies afoot taller and much broader than the likes of Roger Crozier and Eddie Giacomin whom Redmond shot upon, and the goalies fill the crease as never before. There is so little daylight. Even worse, these massive goalies are nimble as well.
