Finally seeing EP in some Canucks games 2 of the things that stood out for me are:
1. He'll put mustard on his passes. He's such a tiny little guy that I was expecting more soft powder puff passing but instead noticed how he will bear down and put so umph into it. It reminds me of a goal scorer like a Stamkos or OV that will get a pass and have an open net but they still bury it like they mean it. I think it's a sign of a good habit.
2. Oh freakin' yeah do I like this one...He uses deception and doesn't telegraph what he's doing. One of my biggest pet peeves is guys that slow the play down and telegraph what they're gonna do(especially on the power play) like the famous one where the point guy holds it for 2 seconds then takes a slap shot directly into the defender's shin pads. EP is out there doing all sorts of stuff, looking all over, passing between his legs, slap pass, down low, hold wait and pass, pass to himself who knows what the heck he's gonna do and I love it.
