What did you pick up from him in those early years with the Rangers? Well, I'm

glad that you asked about that too because I give him so much credit for my career.

I honestly believe that had I signed out of college with another organization, I might not have made the NHL.

Learning from him, like you said, his demeanor, his delivery, his hockey knowledge, the way he breaks down film with you.

And like you said, you could let in five or six goals in a night and he won't even come in and show goals the next day.

You could ask to see the goal on video and he won't even show it to you.

he'll have a clip picked out of you making a save on the exact same play that they had scored on.

Is it having that base from Benny Allaire, learning that early in your career, and then now seeing all these different situations, is the relationship more of a friendship or is there times when it's just more work? What is the relationship with a goaltender coach?
