His attention to detail when it comes to gear continued right through to the NHL, and he shares insights into the true origins of everything from the Lundqvist loop — and they differ from the story told in the past — as well as the secret of those “Mickey Mouse” gloves he used to wear under his own glove and blocker, the story behind those practice gloves he couldn’t close in games, his work with Bauer and so much more. We also talk about his evolution as a goalie under Benoit Allaire, the keys to his success playing so deep at 6-foot-1 and his remarkable patience on shots, and how his equipment tied into the stance that made it all possible.
