Thanks for your continued help in driving the conversation
Okay, if you want conversation:
Your analysis of what is wrong with our PP makes ZERO sense.
Saying that Laine is the problem because he is standing still and must get moving to get everything moving makes no sense.
Where is he supposed to move to?
The coaching is the problem. The players have obviously been told where to go and what to do on the PP. Is Laine supposed to skate and stand beside Scheifele? Or go stand in one of the corners? Or go next to Wheeler? That makes zero sense.
Also, saying he should pass the puck to Scheifele or Connor makes zero sense. Scheifele shoots right and would have no one-timer, while passing to Connor in the far corner is very low percentage.
I would love to see Ehlers in Wheeler's spot, but failing that, I'd have Wheeler initiate movement.
He can:
a) give and go with Connor.
b)give to Connor, drive the net, and let Connor walk out to shoot.
c) give to Connor, drive the net, and Connor can hit Scheifele.
d) give to Connor, drive the net, and Connor hitting Laine.
The options would be endless if Wheeler would give the puck and then go starting movement. Laine cannot initiate movement when he rarely has the puck.
