Really effective.

Yup. And its not a formulaic bump back either like Gio was. They don't know if he is bumping back or skating into the zone at speed. He doesn't telegraph the bump back. I've also noticed Andersson options off passing it forward the blue line too.
The bump back works better when ppl don't know if its coming.
I love that Andersson says eff it and hauls it in himself at times or looks for options. Its a big upgrade.
