Maybe his brain, but I think you remember incorrectly if you don't think he had good hands.



The guy looked like a Pavel Bure clone in his prime.

I think Samsonov had better hands though, he was much slower but his stickhandling was elite.

That's just everything coming together perfectly for him. He had a mediocre shot and decent hands, nothing special. Samsonov takes this.

I agree, I just remember him pulling that stuff off pretty regularly when I watched him. For a few seasons there he was a very good player.

One of the first guys I traded for in EA Sports games. So good with my thumbs controlling his brain
