Mentioned this in today’s Scrimmage Thread but it bears reprising since it specifically concerns Jackeye:
Marty very cognizant of the special player that Jackeye is.
At his presser, he noted “Historically, guys that play like him, don’t have all the offensive attributes or the feet that he has.”
He added “so for me, to watch a big guy like that, move like that, make plays, feel comfortable at the blue line, be really good with the puck but also be mean, that’s exciting.”
However he pointed out that sometimes those types of players like Jackeye know that aggressivity is a big part of their game, they almost play with too much aggressivity where they tend to look for it and when they do, they forget about the other parts of their game. He knows it’s part of his game to be aggressive and physical but it just has to be controlled.
