We were worried here for Cole Caufield who was no longer able to put it in. Things have changed a lot since then. Just like Josh Anderson, it turns out little Cole has found his touch again. And since you bring the subject up, what about these famous touches that are on everyone’s lips this season?
Caufield said it himself after the game: “When you get pucks back, you get more touches and you feel better as the game goes on. » For years we have been told about the importance of having a good stick and moving your feet well, the new parameter of the keys is enough to shake our certainties.
According to Martin St-Louis, we must help players “have the puck in the right places” and thus be able to touch him (the puck). It seems that the more a player touches the puck, the better. Contrary to popular belief, being good without the puck is no longer enough in 21st century hockey.
The notion of touch, which was very popular among fishermen and fencers, therefore became a new reference in hockey. All that remains is to integrate it into the range of statistics to have better portraits of our players. When Josh Anderson found himself in a bind, it would have been very reassuring to know that at least he touched the puck often enough…
