Kypreos, Armstrong and the host (can't remember his name) on Hockey Central at Noon wondering why Marner doesn't set up behind the net like how Gretzky used to do. Goes on to wonder why nobody in the league does it. I guess they don't watch Calgary games since if they did, they'd see Johnny do this regularly and Tkachuk to a lesser extent. Johnny/Tkachuk from behind the net to Monahan/Backlund in the slot for the one timer happens quite often when defenders try to chase.
The neat thing is Johnny and Tkachuk make the play quite differently as Gaudreau will use his speed and elusiveness while Tkachuk will use his body to protect the puck and keep the defender away along the boards.
