Reminds me of "let's see if Gaudreau can do that against NHL defensemen".
Reality is that a lot of AHL defensemen - guys like Brandon Montour and Shea Theodore, guys Jankowski was having a field day with are the same guys who were playing against the Calgary Flames in the NHL playoffs. Pros at that level have good sticks, positioning, skating, coaching.
And traffic is traffic. You put five grown-ass men with no NHL skill within a five foot radius and tell them to wildly swing their sticks around, you are still making it difficult for one guy to do things he can do with practice pylons and an empty rink.
