I know if we need a goal he's going to be out there without a doubt but in defensive situations where we have to protect a lead I want to see strong wall play, I want to see him in the right position, good sticks, all the things that are required to not necessarily be a penalty kill guy but to be someone that can play the last five minutes early in your career defending a 3-2 lead and I thought he earned that opportunity.
