He actually can snipe sometimes. Here's one from this season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNELcDf3HQE

You don't see a whole lot of those, though. Most of his goals are rebounds, fivehole, or tip ins. He's a good shooter in general, though. I'd say his only real weakness as a sniper is he lacks a powerful one-timer. He's not a threat to blast one in from the half-wall like a Kovalchuk or Malkin is. But he can pick a corner with the best of them with his wrister.
