Hockey IQ is a huge part of any player in the game. Some guys have it, some don't and it isn't something you can teach.

It's not a buzz phrase for fans. However, it is overused, and misused. On this forum I've heard that pretty much every Flames player except for Gio, Tkachuk and Johnny (and Jankowski because he's pretty new) has low hockey IQ. This includes Monahan, Backlund, Frolik, Hamilton, Brodie, Hamonic, Ferland and Stajan, all of whom I think have decent to excellent IQ.
