At the start of the shootout, my thought was "please, no simmonds". Then watching how Read scored on a 5 hole, and seeing Holtby open the 5 hole with the stick heel, not blade, on the ice, while Giroux and Briere ignored it, I was glad to see one trick Simmonds line up. Turns out Read pointed it out to Simmonds before he went on the ice.
Does the coach have to pick all the shooters at the start, or just the first 3?
Lovin' that Read, a rookie giving good, game winning shootout tips.
