Yeah but he gets props for the ms paint skill.
Relevant argument though. Are they using it? I can't tell, because they're never in the zone.
I've noticed teams using 2 bump backs as well. Puck carrier enters neutral zone, makes the bump back pass. Carrier then skates into the zone on the boards, and drops to another forward who either picks up the puck or lets it go to the other trailing dman.
It's pretty effective (or at least it is against us). In this scenario Gio carries puck up, drops to Gaudreau who comes up the RH boards, drops to triling Monahan who then makes a decision to pick up the drop pass, or if the defender coming at him commits to him he leaves the puck for Brodie.
It's incredibly simple and effective, and I sure as heck hope some internet dummy (me) isn't the only one who sees it.
