Powerplay combinations

[Psych0dad]

We don't seem to have a thread for this.

What would be your idea of optimal PP lines going forward?

I would like to see

PP1

Perreault-Scheifele-Wheeler
Laine-Morrissey

PP2

Connor-Little-Ehlers/(Vesalainen)
Trouba-Buff

I would run Jmo at the top, Laine on left half wall, Scheif slot, Wheeler right half wall and Perreault in front.
Second unit would have Buff at top, Roslo left half wall, Connor in slot, Ehlers right half wall and Little in front.
If they run two Ds I'd have Trouba in there.

 

[PhilJets]

Big Buff needs to run a powerplay on his own.
So 2nd unit would be best.

Keep Schiefele Wheeler in the first. Plus a left shot forward down low.

Morrissey would be a fine quarterback on that 1st pp. But lets give Trouba a shot there 1st.

 

[Whileee]

Jets will have a righty and lefty pp.

PP1 (righty)

Petan

Laine. Scheifele. Wheeler


Buff


PP2 (lefty)

Roslovic

Ehlers. Perreault. Connor


Morrissey

I really like the left/right idea Whileee - hope that Maurice will give this a chance in TC and preseason at least.. Just a thought - wouldn`t it be better in both cases to have the 'down low guy" be opposite handed to the rest of the guys on the unit? Would make it easier to pass/make plays with the half=wall guy, and would really be better for stepping out from beside/behind the net to deflect shots and quickly retrieve rebounds, or to himself generate a shot on net ? Don`t know if I described this very well . In your example, exchange Petan and Roslovic.

 

[SCP Guy]

I prefer:

Laine - Laine - Laine


Laine - Laine

 

[heilongjetsfan]

I prefer:

Laine - Laine - Laine


Laine - Laine

I see that unit giving up a lot of shorties.

 

[SUX2BU]

I prefer:

Laine - Laine - Laine


Laine - Laine

And Laine in net, right?

Yup, I have a lefty (Petan) down low with Wheeler on the wall and Scheifele in the slot (as Stastny was). For PP2 I have Roslovic down low, with Ehlers on the half wall and Perreault in the slot. That sort of triangle works by giving good passing lanes.

 

[jetsforever]

Don't mess with what works

PP1:
Perreault (potentially Roslovic etc.)
Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Byfuglien

PP2:
Connor-Little-Ehlers
Morrissey/Roslovic-Trouba

Unless you have options that work better. Then you should use those instead.

 

[SUX2BU]

PP1
28(Roslovic new#) 55-26
29-33

PP2
81-18-19
27-44

When did roslovic switch numbers?

 

[Aggie204]

It was on instagram today

Foreshadowing for a 27-28-29 line????

When did roslovic switch numbers?

 

[Duke749]

Oh man #28 for Roslovic looks soooooo good.

 

[Adam da bomb]

Perrault
Laine chef wheeler
Mo

Connor
Laine little ehlers
Buff.
Pretty much never take Lanie off while there is a pp. if you have to, rest him es. He is just so deadly on the pp.

 

[SCP Guy]

And Laine in net, right?

That would be to unrealistic

 

[SUX2BU]

That would be to unrealistic

Not sure where I heard it but he has goaltended (if such a word) in the past

 

[surixon]

Jets will have a righty and lefty pp.

PP1 (righty)

Petan

Laine. Scheifele. Wheeler


Buff


PP2 (lefty)

Roslovic

Ehlers. Perreault. Connor


Morrissey

Pretty much how I envision it.

 

[tbcwpg]

I would still rather have Buff and Laine together on the PP. Having Buff at the point opens some space for Laine on the off wall, and Laine opens some space for Buff. Separating them would make the PP too easy to read, in my opinion.

I think Morrissey could slide in to that spot and make it just as lethal.

Maybe. I wouldn't be opposed to trying it.

I'm not as concerned with who they run on the PP, although Petan, Laine, Scheifele, Wheeler and Buff are my 1st unit choice. I just want to see them show the movement they had around mid season. I felt the PP stagnated a bit towards the end of the year and in the playoffs. The 2nd unit was actually more dynamic but lacked the finishers the 1st unit has.

The need to get back to that constant rotation they had when they were most successful.

The second unit moved it around well but the setup was awful. Not one player was ever on their offside and thus there was no one timer or quick shot play so all the puck movement amounted to nothing.
