Shwarz is in good shape if the reason he fell is because he can't play the puck. I find it funny that now that we have a goalie that can play the puck u make it seem like it's so important. Blackburn+Richter=couldn't handle the puck (at least not that well), yet I bet b4 Montoya u would've said it doesn't matter. How well did Roy (who I hate) handle the puck? Oh and there might be rules limiting puck handling anyway.
Go read my post.
I said it was a combination of his skating, mental game (easily rattled, etc.) and puck playing.
