Math Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 That ballsy penalty shot. For me, Rolston will always be linked to that action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the 2015 article said he had done some scouting with the Arizona Coyotes, but I think he's been doing some things in junior hockey too (USHL).

Confrontational Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Ha... The advent of his unorthodox approach began after Jacques Lemaire, once head coach of the Wild, mentioned to Rolston during a practice he had a dream the night before that Rolston used a slapshot in a shootout and scored. The very next day, in a game against the Vancouver Canucks, Rolston scored on a penalty shot, beating goaltender Roberto Luongo with a slapshot. After this, Rolston began to use the slapshot regularly in these situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
