PHILADELPHIA – It’s a shame, really, that the man in the nearby lounge chair has dozed off, because otherwise he would’ve seen something quite special: Devan Dubnyk, all six feet and six inches, upper half in a picnic-blanket blue shirt and the lower part in jeans, demonstrating goalie drills on the Ritz Carlton carpet. Now halfway through a four-game road trip in mid-November, Dubnyk has also developed a bit of a stuffed nose, evidenced by the Neti Pot in his shopping bag. This makes the visual explanation from the Minnesota Wild netminder all the more appreciated.
“It’s subtle,” he’s saying.
