Dean,

You have me thinking of the past . I know it's not what you are talking about , but I can remember Walter Gretzky use to have Wayne sit and watch theTO Maple Leafs ( GO LEAFS) . He gave Wayne a blank piece of paper ( with a diagram of a rink) and a pen. Wayne would follow the puck as the puck moved om the TV. It helped him see the movements of the puck.
Also I remember Wayne saying (but don't Quote me) that he had to change his game at the higher levels. He had to re train himself to always go to open ice . Don't always follow the puck but move to an open spot away from the puck .

I miss the old days of watching Wayne play . I remember people saying how slow he skates sometimes. But he was just buying time for his teammates too catch up and work his magic. He was in control of the flow and dictated where the puck was going all the time.
Sorry for the trip down memory lane… Wayne's GIT I guess !!
