Power play concerns!?!?

[Henkka]

No Abby on pk please.

Keep him fresh for ES minutes with Dats and Z. Those minutes will be hard enough already without him being stressed on pk.

That secondary role isn't that bad. ~1 minute per game. Andersson and Miller are the real specialists that will play ~3 mins per game.

Miller - Andersson - 3min
AKader - Emmerton - 1min
Weiss - Alfie - 1min
Dats - Zeta - 1min

[Johnz96*]

does anyone have concerns on whether or not The Wings can be effective on the Power play, in the last two seasons have been lackluster at best!

0% so far.
It's gotta get better.

 

[babcockscowl]

remember back in 2012 when the wings had that 0-29 stretch?

PK sucked at last season start. I'll take that 100% with two times in 3-on-5.


PP ice-times:

Alfredsson 4:00
Datsyuk 3:43
Franzen 3:43
Kronwall 3:39
Zetterberg 3:38
---------------
Cleary 2:20
Weiss 2:15
Bertuzzi 2:15
Kindl 2:13
Samuelsson 1:46


Faceoffs were just like at pre-season. Three great guys, one abysmal effort:

Andersson 9-4 = 69%
Weiss 9-4 = 69%
Datsyuk 13-8 = 62%
-------------------
Emmerton 2-5 = 29%

PK-Icetimes:

Andersson 4:21
Miller 3:37
Emmerton 3:08
Franzen 2:09
Weiss 2:07
Alfredsson 1:55
Datsyuk 1:54
Zetterberg 1:33

Kronwall 5:57
Ericsson 5:16
Quincey 4:47
Smith 4:38
DeKeyser 2:32
Kindl 0:02

No Abdelkader on PP or PK. He played only at ES with Z&D.

The 1st unit was great last night. Granted, they didn't score but the puck possession, creativity and chances were there.

The 2nd unit? Geebus-crimeny, they looked like mites playing "puck-swarm." Absolutely terrible. And the goal that was waived off was completely Cleary's fault. Miller may have been slightly out of his crease but he was there first and had established position. Cleary just backed right into him. If I was ANY other player on the Wings, I'd be scratching my head on the bench as to why that useless turd was getting PP time. And Samuelsson on the point is a continuing adventure that I would rather not have to keep.

 

[Heaton]

Cleary spun around Miller after the puck was past him, it was a bad call.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Wings second PP unit was Babcock trying to relive his childhood memories of shinny.

 

[Henkka]

Cleary spun around Miller after the puck was past him, it was a bad call.

Even Wings-hater Ed Olczyk thought it was a bad call. That tells something.

 

[babcockscowl]

I believe so

 

[babcockscowl]

0-8 on the PP

 

[Henkka]

They should move Alfredsson on the left side and start using his one-timer there. He is useless on the right point and even more useless, because he has a habit to fall deeper towards the right corner. That's horrible wasting of a handness.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Belle Tire is gonna ask for their money back if this keeps up.

 

[Chance on Chance]

0-8 on the PP

we need to change up from the 'net presence" we cleary have no one that is good at it

I don't know, people say Kronwall is pretty good at screening the goalie.

Too bad the Sedins won't be on the team until they're 39.

That's nice and ripe for the Wings

Doubtful they'd probably need a year or two of seasoning in GR to be ripe enough for Babcock to play on the 4th line.
