In 39 games played this season, Jakub recorded 0 goals, 4 assists, combining for a total of 4 points. That’s bad. His defense on the other hand is what’s worse. Kindl defensively is a living nightmare. First, his skating is very weak. As we saw countless amounts of times this year, Jakub was constantly caught flat-footed when skating backwards.
Secondly, all his shots either missed the net or were blocked entirely, leaving the opponent going back the other way given a scoring chance. This relates to point one above, as when Jakub shots were blocked, he was always caught in a flat-footed spot, which allowed for his opponent to blow right by him.
