Hockey is our favorite game but it is a game that might take a little while for a new viewer to understand what different player’s “style” is. Connor McDavid will burst through the neutral zone and it is obvious that he is the fastest skater alive, but you might not appreciate Kirill Kaprizov’s mohawk skating or ability to duck and dive through coverage or appear invisible and then pop up in the neutral zone like a shadow winger to score a sneaky goal from the goal line.
But what about the freaks? The weirdos? The guys who you look at and wonder how they make it work.
