It's either a systems change, which makes absolutely zero sense, or the Hawks have been reading too much of their own press, and believe that they can outscore any problems.
It's irritating, cause every time they put up a particularly bad performance and get blown out, they come back with several great defensive efforts.... and then they start slacking again, start losing close games they should have won (or flat out put away early), before ultimately getting blown out again and repeating the cycle of arrogance.
Ugh, that's majorly frustrating. I feel for you guys.
Keith would still be the best option for the left side on the 2nd PP unit.
It's not ideal, but quite frankly nobody says he has to shoot it.
Some of his best PP highlights have been slap-passes from the point onto the stick of a guy in front, or just hard passes to the guy on the doorstep. He has the vision to get pucks through, his wrist shot just isn't great and his slap shot takes way too long to get off so it's easy for defenders to get into the lane.
Forgive my idiocy, but why wouldn't Keith be on the 1PP? He's picking up assists like a fat kid picks up candy at a piñata party, wouldn't he be the best option?
