Credibility is the biggest thing he brought. He thought the game better than anyone else besides (Wayne) Gretzky. It's pretty high praise, but it's not ridiculous. It's pretty accurate. As far as having hockey sense, he was second to one man and that man is not really human as far as I'm concerned.
