Hard working team that always brings their lunch pail. Very good penalty kill. They work very well as a unit and make it very difficult to move the puck side to side in their defensive zone to prevent the biggest vunerbility their goalie has which is moving side to side.

They will be there at the end along with Elk River

False, their teammates do all the work in front of him and prevent rebound shots, side to side passing to try to move him. They back check like heck. If you get shots they are simple ones that he can see.

His size creates a false impression of goalie substance. Much like a 7'6" man in basketball. Everybody fears going to the lane and if they do they change their shot. Any team that can get the passing side to side will get their goals. His team in front of him prevents this from happening.
