the bump back makes a tonne of sense.......when mixed in with other zone entries. By bumping it back, the Defenders have to either stop or slow at the blue line, making it that much tougher to control the gap or hold the blue line.
The key is to vary the entries (soft dump, hard rim, bump back, attacking with speed) so the defenders can't time the entry and cheat. Calgary's problem is, it is the sole entry used on the 1st powerplay, making it very easy to disrupt.
