They have a lot of work to do to fix the PP, that's for sure:

 

[Pressure]

Anything but 1-3-1 system. That diamond formation will be the end of us. I'd rather us go to the traditional 2-2-1 and plant someone in front of the net. Right now our guys are getting killed on the pinch because they're so out of position along the boards. We do not have the Sedin's and the slap pass deflections, stick to what worked before, why is that so hard for Eakins??

if our pp worked last year hall would have had 90+ points , we need it to work if we play on winning more games , thats for sure

So the season hasn't even started and the team is running Craig Ramsay out of town then.

what do u mean running him out of town ??

I was just pointing out what I thought could be done
who's to say he ran the pp in the person ???
some of you guys need to calm down , stop being on edge over every little thing

He's the guy the will be, basically, running the PP. The season hasn't Started Yet.

So maybe, we don't know anything about anything yet, Maybe?

Just dust off a TB or WSH power play tape from last year.
Then do the following...

Replace Ovie/Stamkos with Yakupov
Replace Backstrom/Filppula with Nuge
Replace Brouwer/Callahan with Perron or Hall
Replace Green/Hedman with Schultz
Replace Carlson / Carle with Nikitin when healthy.

Problem solved.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Maybe not have Hunt and Aulie as the point men? I'll wait for the regular season to judge anything

yes but do you agree that the 4 forward thing just isn't working ?

No Eberle? Our PP will continue to suck

the problem is , from as far as i can tell, that they plan on playing hunt on the pp opposite of schultz and maybe that works ... or it fails horribly

 

[dustrock]

Ramsay came in to help with the PP and defence.

Last practice lines for PP1 and PP2, we had only one d-man: Schultz on PP1 and Hunt on PP2.

God save us all.

that also seems to be a problem , we have too many wingers that would look great in the right situation on the pp
which is why i think they do keep 4 forwards but I also think that is the wrong choice

Our PP was totally fine, actually looked really good until Eakins took over. Go back to pre Eakins.

Id like to see

Nurse/Klefbom/nikitin - schultz

and

Nurse/Klefbom/nitktin -Petry

I remember , which is why I don't understand what happened

iirc , we scored more but still gave up a lot of shorties ?

We went to a 1-3-1 set up last year lol

Exactly what I'm saying. Who the hell thought it was a great idea to turn a good/decent PP into one of the worst?

As Lowetide said many times, the formation of 1-3-NONE isn't working, change it up, change it back.

 

[McYoungGuns]

We went to a 1-3-1 set up last year lol

were we playing
1-2-2 ?

 

[GMofOilers]

were we playing
1-2-2 ?

2-1-2 standard 2 players down low, Hall and Eberle, with Nuge on half boards, and 2 d up high.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Well the 2nd unit would need some players as well.

 

[McYoungGuns]

I think either perron or ebs on the right side of the net is key, with hall on the left half , nuge in the middle , schultz left point moving to the centre keying up one timers and wrist shots and on the right point either nurse , nitktin or klefbom( whom i think has a underrated and under utilized shot)

 

[GMofOilers]

Like I said, go back to Pre Eakins, it was a awesome PP for a couple seasons, and a couple different coaches.

Hall and Eberle down low
Nuge on half boards
Schultz and Nik up top

We are looking at a top5 pp again

 

[McYoungGuns]

2-1-2 standard 2 players down low, Hall and Eberle, with Nuge on half boards, and 2 d up high.

I think the way I described the pp in my last post is some what of a 2-1-2 and I do think thats the best for us


but what about a

2-2-1

with the 1 being schultz on the point ?? with the middle 2 moving up and down the boards

cause Ive been seeing that we have a hard time keeping the puck in the zone so it would switch from 2-2-1 quickly into a 2-0-3
