It was weird but it felt like for a while whenever he got the puck it felt like a defender was immediately in his hip pocket and pressuring him.
All of a sudden now it feels like he has space to make these plays.
Somebody mentioned it in the game thread about how it felt like linemates were skating towards him, and then passing him the puck, which almost led to defenders being on him immediately.
Now it feels like there is better spacing on the ice and it's opening up more space.

Its pretty much like football. You can't have the QB throwing the ball through people to a receiver who has a DB in front of him.
That is why a lot of his passes have gone to crap.
Sharangovich seems to understand the assignment. Get him the puck and go and get into open space and he will get you the puck. Do not skate to him, do not take a defender and skate into traffic. No one can make those passes.
Confidence is a hell of a drug. That dangle for the hatty goal you don't see many players do that in tight spaces like that.
