I'm not sure why you're responding to me with that quote.

You mentioned that he's nearly blind in one eye in response to someone saying that EBUGs aren't usually that good. And yet, he stopped 2 of the 3 shots on him securing the game win. So perhaps, he is actually that good.

Hodges was playing for Anaheim. Plus, stopping 2/3rds of your shots is pretty terrible.

Linking Scott Foster's page would have made more sense, he stopped all 7 shots, but even he would probably agree he isn't that great.
