It isn't one or the other and you know that. The Oilers PP is complicated by BOTH a lack of scoring depth AND system oriented problems.
How is that conceding one point or the other?
Nor is it a matter of just simple plays. The caps for instance will work a series of passes typically before getting OV, Oshie, whoever the puck. The scheme being to get opponents to bite on puck movement allowing OV to have a clearer path to net. Its not like the Caps PP is simply passing the puck to OV and getting him to magically shoot through shot blocking. They of course divert the pk'ers before that setup occurs.
It is a matter of simple plays. The Capitals do just pass it around and look for their simple set plays on a regular basis.
They don't have some secret scheme that other teams can't catch on to.
They do the same things all the time, and other teams can't stop it because they do it at a high level.
The Oilers PP woes are almost entirely personnel and execution based as far as I can tell.
Unless you care to enlighten me on exactly where the Oilers PP system breaks down in comparison to other teams using exact details rather than generalizations.
