Bollig's move all year has been shooting the puck. Either missing the net by 2 feet on a beauty feed from Stajan or shooting it on net from the blueline on a 2 on 2 when he's not even being pressured. That's all he does.
Sometimes Wills makes me wonder if he actually knows hockey all that well.

Wills' insight is pretty marginal. It's a difference between him and Maher. Maher never spoke about on-ice plays as far as breaking them down, or critiquing a player. He'd give general thoughts about the room or what the coaches were saying as the "insider".
Bollig has a hard shot, but he is not accurate. But I'd also say the Flames' shot selection and execution is generally bad overall so far. Backlund shoots from the blue line a lot, Russell missed the net a lot on the PP, sending the puck all the way around and out. Stajan tends to pass a bit much when he's in a better position to shoot (not as much confidence in his own shot maybe)? Wideman isn't getting the shot through as much.
