I'll be the first to say that our PK is much improved this season. Whether its coaching, goaltending or the additions of McClement I dont care; it works and I hope we keep it up.
Powerplay obviously needs a bit of work. We are static and dont have great puck movement; at least when I compare our PP to other teams I have seen. With that said, I think there is a clear trend in the NHL this season where teams are moving away from the big booming point shot, but rather resorting to wristing shots on net from the point and hoping for a tip/screen/garbage goal
I have also noticed that our Defensemen are too close to the blue line, I would like to see them move in another 5 feet and I think that would lead to a few more chances and disrupt the defensive schemes being used by the PK units.
As for personnel I think our Power Play units should be as follows
PP 1:
JVR- Kadri- Kessel
Phaneuf-Gunnar
Frattin-Grabo-Kulemin
Liles-Franson
Thoughts?
