You know there is tracking data that shows Allison is the best at entries? Legit. So is Hayes, TK, Tippett, and get this, so is Frost.Bull.
TK has always dumped and chased, because while he has great speed and acceleration, he lacks "shake and bake" so he struggles to deke defenders, Tippett is actually a more fluid skater with the puck. TK's signature move is to dump and then chase, and hope the defender trips or interferes, picking up a penalty.
Frost isn't great at O-zone entry because, while stronger, he's still too easy to bump off the puck. And what disappoints me, is while he's straight line fast, he's not a "shake and bake" guy either, lacks the elusiveness of the top smurfs.
Allison isn't great at zone entry, don't know where you get that, he's a fancier version of MacEwen with more skill, but the same power move and then recover the puck.
Hayes has the "butt move" down cold, lead with the butt, use your body to shield the puck, and he has good hands in traffic.
Your eyes are deceiving you.
