How can someone as young as Fiala have such passing instincts?
He is gifted. All in him talks about that.
someone with superior capacities.
Look at what he does, the way he behaves, what close people say about him. A type of arogance that often is the impatience of gifted people towards normal people. Typicaly young gifted guys.
Even his "caprices" when he just arrived and was benched for his mood. ;-) . They want everything immediately ... because conceptualy ... they already have it. => frustrations => subject to lunatisme.
About his passes, he always would go in a direction, have his head turned in another direction, and pass the puck in a 3rd totaly unexpexted and surprising direction toward a player who was screened by other players ...but HE saw the guy ! That is the mark of Fiala. (and some seldom others ... of course)
Look at this
link , look at how, when entering the zone, he faints taking the puck, so that the D doesn't take it, and without him turning the head, he knows Neal is behind.
