He plays a butterfly style, meaning the five-hole will be an option. You beat him with finesse. He is a thoughtful, prepared person who uses the percentages. On the short side, you have to wait for his glove hand to drop before shooting it high under the crossbar. You have to be aggressive on wraparounds for jam plays in tight. He can also wander out of the net to play pucks, meaning there may be turnovers. How Cloutier beats you How Roy beats you He can beat you with his natural ability and competitiveness in the net. He beats you with his confidence and his heart. He is a leader who never thinks he'll lose the battle. He will give you the 5-hole and take it away with the perfect butterfly. He can give up a goal and then make a great save. Darren Pang is a hockey analyst for ESPN. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories
