Better get back to the drawing board on this disaster of a power play. I’d also like to see these guys pull off some non disrupted passes, nothing is ever clean.
Yeah. It needs a complete reconfiguration. It just doesn't work this way. Occasionally, they do a cute little "swapsies" between a couple players on role and where they stand, but it's horribly stagnant and set.
The Power Play is all passing too cute and not pulling the trigger. This can’t happened, it’s too tiring.
It really is like they're trying to pull off some set plays vs air, the way Newell drew it up, and get frustrated and start trying to force the same thing even harder when it predictably doesn't work.
Getting somebody at the point with a big shot and a willingness to just let it rip and spend a few on someone's shinpads if necessary, might just be the cure for what ails it. But as it stands, it's way too easy for teams to just cheat to Hughes and Petey and more or less isolate them from dangerous passing lanes. Turns it from a PP, to a 2-on-2 standoff.
