The Bishop Plays Like a Dominator! - Lew's Clues

Thank you Mr. Ben Bishop for making my predictions come true. I knew that the more you played in an unorthodox style - the better you would become! You are drawing on the ghost of "The Dominator" and NHL fans love you for it. If hockey were tennis - you would be Andre Agassi and Lundqvist is Peter Sampras. As predicted in prior Lew's Clues' posts - you are reinventing the position by becoming a threat when the puck comes your way. Sure - the opposition scores an errant goal once in a while with a bubble hockey type goal: banking the biscuit off of a player in front of the net. But those goals are too few and far between too take the series from you. Stoic goaltending is so 2014.

Your appropriately named Lightning team responds to and rewards your breakout style of play! Some may say you like a whale flopping around gasping to stay alive but I politely disagree - you are a killer whale beaching yourself for the kill. You are whipping the puck around like it's a helpless seal that has been ensnared in your grasp and nobody knows when and where you are going to throw that poor puck. (Note to PETA:  These are metaphors - Please do not show up in Tampa Bay to demonstrate and protest).

The Rangers had better game plan for The Bishop's offensive threat because - just like "the Dominator" - there are no 1 through 5 holes to pick on. You need to create a 6 hole! The bubble hockey bank shot goals is your best case scenario right now - scary. New York has only put up four goals in two games. Carey Price may have Henrik shaking his head on the golf course with him soon if Ben Bishop continues to "Dominate."  Nice to see you again Mr. Hasek - the game has missed you.
