And piss the goalie off too. We need something drastic because OUR PP HAS BEEN FKN BRUTAL lately. Just sayin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 10 hours ago, Hairy Kneel said: Since our power play has been pretty fkn brutal lately, I think we should try putting Zadarov as net front presence. fk the pretty pass pretty shot goals LETS GO GET THE GREASY ONES. Plus we have the skill to capitalize off garbage rebound goals back door. I mean who doesn't like a little back door action once in a while amirite.

DeNiro Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 38 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Good. The dynamics of the PP needed a change up. Yea they clearly couldn’t keep doing the same thing. There’s powerplays being cold and then there’s ones that will obviously just not work. When I first saw them I thought wow they dropped Petey off the first unit. But then I noticed Hughes on it. Gotta figure any unit with Hughes is the first unit. Good to split up Hughes, Miller, and Petey though. It seems like they’re stuck in a never ending loop of passing around the outside when they’re out there. This will hopefully force them to think differently. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the miller unit, i think they'll do well as lots of willing shooters (garly, brock, hronek, one great distributor (miller) and a plumber (suter). The other unit needs hughes and pettey to shoot, or chaos to unleash, while lindholm distributes and bains looks for tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a big blast but zero accuracy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zadorov or Myers are a lot harder to move than Bains. Net front requires a lot of hand eye and High hockey IQ. Sticking a random big body doesn't help, you need a player who can win puck battles, be good at deflecting the puck, making short relief passes to offset pressure for the half wall and knowing when the peel off to the side for a pass verses screening the goalie. In all honest, net front is the hardest PP position to play, requires a lot of reads and quick decision making. I think Bains is an excellent player to provide that. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def, but he'd certainly confuse the hell out of everyone, might lead to greasy ones. Big change from hughes to pettey, back to hughes, pass broken up to miller, hughes recovers, back to pettersson, x5) Edited February 27 by OldFaithfulcap g 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't run Demmer into the ground. Because he is either going to get hurt or he is going to run out of gas come a long playoff run. Need to let DeSmith have some runway down the stretch here to allow Demko to rest. 1 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I hope Carson Soucy gets back from injury soon so as we have more push back. It's an element we need drastically. Nothing wrong with what Zadorovs doing but he's kinda like a marked man with the officials now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers is one of the players on the second powerplay, so he already has experience, mind you from a different position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taphouse Canuck Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It's interesting that the Soilers had a losing streak after the ASG, similar to ours. They broke theirs yesterday against LA Now that we are back in the W column we should win tonight if we show the same application as we did against the Bruins The Pens have a pretty ancient team ( Crosby, Carter, Eller, Malkin, Letang, Karlson) but I'm sure they'll put up a fight. 5-2 Nucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
