The forwards, mostly the ones that have been here since the start of his tenure, are still missing him all the time coming in late.
Maybe this could be due to Bouw not being as vocal as he should be. A guy like that should be wanting the puck all the time.
The guy is playing some damn good hockey right now, I don't see the point in shuffling it consistently behind the net, when Bouw is free at the point.
I saw Iginla do that 4-5 times last night from the half boards. Bouw was wide open to walk the line and get a good shot with traffic but iginla proceeded to cycle it behind the net and ultimately one of stajan or tanguay got ran around and it was an easy break out for Minnesota.
In conclusion, when you see this guy flying around, give him the puck.
