I think you can go through that exercize to find out the when.
But unless it's a faceoff, it's always going to be one or ywo guys on and off.
It's really hard to tell with Backlund's line.
Get one guy out ASAP.
He's a direct player, not versed in the subtle plays.
That's Johnny who we don't have anymore.
Playing shifts in one game with Backlund or a few games with Lindholm doesn't get you used to it.
Not making excuses, just saying it takes time and communication.
He has to go with his strengths, and he isn't sure he gets to play another game.
He also is a natural C forced to play wing to stay in the game.
I think he's doing pretty good so far.
Producing 5v5 and PP.
Looks a little confused on D zone coverage since he's a winger.
Less likely to overcommit but so far looks at least as good as JG was.
I want him to work on talking plays through with his linemates.
Go over what worked.
I think there is some tendency to defer, but talk about it.
