Small in Stature, Big on Talent

Lynn Zinser at The New York Times gives this profile on Nigel Dawes...

"...To see Dawes among his teammates off the ice, he looks like the neighborhood kid who wandered onto the team. To go with small stature, he brings a quiet, amiable personality, the guy never heard above the din in the locker room. He is 23, and even this late in the season is still a bit thrilled to see his nameplate over a stall in the Rangers’ locker room....

...With him in the lineup, the Rangers now have him available for shootouts, where he has made his biggest contribution. Renney inserted him in the shootout lineup in February, and he scored the winning goal twice. He has a variety of moves, honed over his years in juniors..."

...nice to see the Times is actually writing articles about the action on the ice again.
