And not to mention, Bennett can throw some great hits when the timing is right. I also love Tchuky waiting for a player to close while he has the puck, then launch into them with his back, catching them off guard.
Neal is no push over either. I think we have a good balance of for today’s game of speed, transition and hard forecheck, backchecking. And enough guys out there that put pressure on the opponents D, to keep their heads up and force them into rushing plays and making mistakes.
Even lil guys like Czarnik with their speed and smarts can be just as effective as a hard checking forechecker.
The games changed, and I’m glad to see Calgary embracing the new style of play.
