I was really unimpressed with the Forward line Blender last night.
Versteeg-Janko-Jagr was super ineffective. Although, I feel Jagr may quite possibly have been our hardest working forward against the Jackets.
The jackets also played the Flames like a fiddle. The hard NZ trap dating the flames to dump and chase knowing their D can turn and retrieve before the Flames. So GG the puts Johnny wit Her bennett and Brouwer but those two are useless on puck retrieval..
It just seems that if GG’s initial run and fun strategy doesn’t work he throws the lines in a blender and then has no real plan from there.
