Colorado Avalanche goalie Scott Wedgewood’s analysis had Biz and Ace impressed 😆
you go into every game kind of understanding and knowing who shoots right and who shoots left. And the other part of the question I have that I wanted to ask you is what’s easier for you, games or practices? Because you guys have so many skilled players on your team you face every single day in practice. Um, yeah, it’s actually one thing I asked our video coach to do when I got here. They’d put up like a lineup card and just have a little bit of a, you know, not a wrap sheet, but just like a few points on each guy and I just asked them to add every hand uh to their names. you know, if you got uh Carlson’s lefty, um cutter, Garcia is a lefty, troop as a right, like whatever the number is and who it is. And I look at that sheet and kind of try and memorize their lines and deep pairings and, you know, you don’t get it perfect obviously on rushes, but anytime we turn the puck over or anytime a line comes off the boards, I try and, you know, make it a habit to just be like, okay, I got four lefties and one righty and the righty’s the last guy out of the zone as a as a weak side ID man, I have no one-time options until they cross, you know, the plane and then they set it up that way and there’s only one timers for one side. So, it’s just one of those things that I’ve done over the years that I feel like it builds confidence on rushes. It’s a very good rush team. So, every time they pull up and, you know, you have a guy pull up and and lay back, you know, it’s a it’s a onetime option and it’s just paid dividends, I think, for me over the years, I’ve gotten smarter. And as a good skater, it’s one thing that uh, you know, it kind of just has worked and a little telltale that I like to uh to add to my game. And then, you know, to your second part, um, yeah, no, it’s hard. But I mean it it makes you better. You know, the speed that Nate comes at you with, Kale, you know, those guys, you know, Olsson’s a hell of a shooter. Nelly’s got obviously a lot of skill and uh Choo Choo is insane. So, it’s just, you know, they they can rip it. I’ve had a few uh few bumps and bruises on the uh just on the practice sheet, let alone in games. So, um got out of there with a bruise on the on the lower body tonight, but uh no, they’re uh it’s it’s a good team to behind. You get better every day for sure. Reggie, we should give you a headset when you’re backing up. You could be an analyst the way that you break down the game. Jesus, I would love it. Biz, you know I’m coming for your job when I’m done.
