The big shot from the point is not a secret and it hasn't been for a few years, he seems to think his shot can penetrate through players, of course instead end up blocked and the race is on toward the Leaf goal......not to mention his fighting ability. I won't touch too much on this except to say my 7 yr old daughter has a better punch. He reminds me of Nuke Lalouche from Bull Durham, million dollar player with a five cent head.
