Through five games—including matchups against a pair of Top 5 teams—Green and a terrific Landon defense have allowed just 8.6 goals per game. While the Culver game may not stand out statistically as Green’s best performance, the numbers don’t fully capture how well he played. At 6’5, the Mercyhurst commit takes up a ton of cage and makes shooters work to find an opening, and he’s constantly throwing a leg in the way of shots to make saves by any means necessary. In most cases, goalies with Green’s kind of size struggle to get to shots below their knees, but that’s far from the case here. I felt like he was at his best on low shots, a result of strong positioning and sound footwork. He was particularly brilliant during a flurry in the third quarter, helping Landon stay in the game with four outstanding stops.
