Adin HIll (Portland)

-Hill didn't dress for the first game, giving him the first rest he's seen since the month of October started. He made 18 of 20 saves in game two getting the win. The two Russian goals were both in prime scoring spots and one of them was screened, so tough to blame the Calgary native. He made several good saves in tight, including the one on Fazleev previously mentioned. I don't even think Hill knew the shot was coming but great positioning in net. made it so he didn't need to know it was coming. Positioning is one of Hill's strengths as he's learned to us his 6'4" frame a lot better this season. Being drafted by Arizona and getting the coaching of large framed Sean Burke and starting Coyotes' goalie Mike Smith (also a big goalie) could not have hurt. Hill is definitely fully on Team Canada's radar now and if he does not get an invite to camp in December, I would be surprised.
