Bump back pass is effective when you have at least TWO other targets in motion.
Bump back pass is ineffective when the other FOUR players are standing still at the offensive blue line.
I like though that they mix it up much more so far.
I still believe they should use a play the late 80's Flames had that was brilliant. Mullen was a master at it.
While MacInnis or Suter would start the rush, Mullen was at least 20 feet inside the offensive zone (yup offside) and then would storm back out cutting where there was a hole and accepting a pass from 2 or 20.
It is already quite hard defending what you can see in front of you so imagine always having your head on a swivel checking out where the off side player is!
Anyways those were the good ol days!
