Those backhanded blind passes have to stop. Im not concerned with the top line doing things, because they are one of the most dominant lines in the league, and they are sound defensively, but Hoffman doing it pisses me off. He did it a few times on power plays that resulted in a turnover, and him doing it bothers me more because he is so one dimensional.
One thing Id like to try is Ekblad on the top PP unit, and have Yandle on the second unit.
Yeah I'm not worried about the top line turning the puck over at times, they make up for it offensively. Although I have to say they have been pretty bad in their own zone lately for some reason and like against the Rangers spent some of their shifts entirely defending which is very uncharacteristic of them. Maybe @drktmplr12 has a point with Barky and him not taking defensive responsibility of others anymore?
