One of the enjoyable aspects of a Merrimack game with Legault in net is
that high-pitched voice of his ringing out; it carries really well. I
was listening to a Merrimack-UMassAmherst radio broadcast earlier this
year and could hear Martin's voice even above the radio announcers. As
to whether his yelling helps his play, I don't know, but it probably
disconcerts the opposing forwards. :-) Mike has written a lot about how
Legault has been motivated to play better now that Thibeault has been
pushing him. Taylor might have benefitted from such competition, too.
As to BC's Greg Taylor -- I enjoy watching him, but IMO he had a better
year last year as a freshman. It may be that this year has just worn
him down with the weak defense and number of shots he's seen (and I think
he has seen a LOT more "quality" shots in the total than last year.) He
may have more potential in the long run over Legault, but he has a lot of
work to do to make the NHL. I, too, would be sad to see him turn pro at
the end of the season; partly because I want to watch him play but also
because I think he needs some more seasoning before facing the higher
competition. Time will tell.
