Lian Bichsel has shown himself to be a master of the counter check at the lower levels, there have been glimpses in the bigs as he's progressed and matured his overall game, but these playoffs should be a coming out party of sorts. I can't wait for Makar to get a over exuberant with an open opportunity, just to find himself flying like DJ Jazzy Jeff.
Don't forget big dude, you got quick enough feet to side step and leave someone looking a fool, as well.
The takeaway for me from this is that these guys do a ton outside of the game we all put so much focus on. And for a young guy to get that and say what he does to keep his body in best status to play his game is also a plus!
When my son was playing PeeWee in the Seattle area about 15 years ago he and his teammates were so excited to finally get to hit. After a game against a Canadian team, he bragged about how many hits they had… but the difference was the Canadian team hit to get the puck! They won.
