In an interview with Sportsnet.ca, Powers said he recognized he had a special goaltender in Daccord.
"’It’s OK, you’re going to get a lot of shots, but we want to see you win,’" Groulx says the message was for Daccord. "’We want you to lead your team to victory. It’s not always going to be easy, you’re going to get bombarded with shots at times.’ He has really progressed. He has refined his game.Everyone who has seen Daccord raves about his puck-handling ability.
"I used to get mad at him," says Brian Daccord. "I said if you want to be a goalie, get your blocker and glove on. He fought me on it and fought me on it."
