The bump back only works if executed with pace.
The lead guy is supposed to skate with pace to push the dmen back and then when the second guy comes in he’s supposed to be flying catching the dmen flat footed.
It’s only an issue because the Flames are trying to execute it at a stand still.
I’m not a fan of this coaching staff but that one is all execution.
