GDT: [Game #74] Dallas Stars @ Chicago Blackhawks – 7:30 PM CT (BSSW)

The biggest PP change I've picked up on is improved entries. The old PP would do the deep drop, then have four guys standing at the blueline while one guy tries to carry it in, which only works reliably if you've got someone like Spezza to carry it. After failing at that a couple of times, the puck carrier would start dumping it in, but since everyone else is standing still, it was a possession loss almost every time.

Now, they try to have a couple of guys moving with the puck carrier, flanking him so he's got more options and it's harder to defend. Improved entries = improved o-zone possession time = improved success rate.

You’re taught since atom that you can’t get open if you don’t move. Amazing how that can be lost in translation at the pro level sometimes.

Watching PP units around the league pass the puck on the edges while doing absolutely no skating is always painful to watch. Happens way too often.

Perhaps should have rerolled for more dexterity in character creation.

The way they keep changing the game every f'ing twenty years, I'm not even sure if it's d6 or d20 for the dexterity rolls any more. Kids these days. Bah humbug.

I haven't been taught since I was an atom. What do they teach at molecule school? What did I miss? (Speaking of lost in translation, hihi.)
