I absolutely HATE the Brodie Bump back. Why even have Brodie play it at all if the PK knows that he will inevitably try to pass it to Gaudreau no matter what? And if he doesn't pass it to Gaudreau he passes it to the 3 pylons sitting at the blue line with no speed. And when he does pass it to Gaudreau , only Gaudreau out of the 4 PPers are ever moving their feet. Not hard to defend pylons.
I hate hate hate the Flames PP break in system. Brodie could easily just go right in the zone himself without Gaudreau's help, but that would break away from a 5 man non-moving unit that is so easily defendable.
