Maybe it's DeBo, maybe it's Barr, but I really like the personnel used on PKs. Almost everyone is getting a chance to prove themselves and contribute out there. Kovalchuk, while used carefully, has been a pleasant surprise. Henrique is learning on the go. Even Teddy's gotten a few shifts and, somehow, Cam snuck out there too. Only Clarkson, Sykora and Boulton haven't gotten PK time.
I don’t know how they do it exactly, but when the other team dumps the puck in on the PK, we seem to get to it first and clear it out 80% of the time. that’s HUGE, and it forces them to try to skate it over the line, which is rarely effective. PDB credits barr on that, as do I. I’m going to try to figure out what he’s doing so well and how they get to the puck first. some kind of immediate diamond formation? aliens? you can’t explain that.
