He can send the puck on net with a deceptive, downward force-loaded wrist shot. His vision is great. If someone’s open, Lucius is going to find them, and he’s going to get them the puck. He reads his teammates so well, anticipating developing plays, and timing his manoeuvres accordingly. Media interview: Interview on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show:
