That's a great article. One of the counter-arguments "Knowing we were going to play against him, we would take some extra practice and make sure we could hit those holes." is fallacious, because it ignores the fact that the five guys on the other team are also going to practice to ensure that you can't hit those holes. I. e. there's going to be a defenseman on each side of him filling the (very small) gaps.
