Virgil notes to Saul, “You go somewhere when you’re on the ice…It's like watching you walk into a secret place that no one else knows how to get to” (65). Using evidence from the novel, explain how this is true.

Saul is a seer which he inherited from his grandfather. Saul has the ability to see the energy on the ice. He seems to know where the players and the puck will go before it happens. This is a spiritual experience, an energy that Saul can disappear into during a game.
