If they don't score on their next PP chance I want to see a unit of Carter/Brodzy/Cooke
With Prosser and Falk on the points.
For all 5 minutes on the next misconduct.

Assuming that Haula was held out for precautionary measures...
Pominville-Granny-Parise
Coyle-Koivu-Zucker
Vanek-Haula-Nino
Cooke-Brodz/Carter-Fontaine
I wouldnt mind seeing these lines play out for a bit.
Our powerplay setup is just stupid.
Suter at the top is not a threat for a one timer when getting a pass back from the guy at the half wall. This is a huge problem. He has to adjust and shift his body into position to even take a shot from the top of the blueline. This gives the opposition way too much time to set up and clear space/get in the lanes.
I want us to run an Umbrella type powerplay like this:
Top D is Spurgeon. we need a right handed defenseman running the blueline if we are going to have Granny on the left side.
Granlund is the F on the left side
Pominville is the other D on the right side
Parise is the guy out front on the left
Vanek is the F in front of the net on the right.
This way everyone is in position for quick passes/shots. You need to be able to one touch pass/shoot from every position imo.
I don't like Suter on the PP and haven't for a long time. Spurgeon is playing very well this year and I think he can handle it.
So the plan is to let Spurgeon and Granny handle the puck most often while passing down to Vanek or Parise as they slide away from the net to open passing lanes through the slot. I think this setup puts everyone in a position best suited to their stengths. Of course the powerplay isn't to be stationary like the picture. the guys down low move in and out of the crease/slot as well as the top guys rotating around to find scoring/passing opportunities. That is another key, the powerplay cannot be stationary. That is one thing Suter is ********* at. He slows the play down way too much and initiates the static powerplay all the time with Koivu. Those two are powerplay killers imo.
You think it's more important to this team to get Haula going than Koivu?

what's the longest power play drought record?
lets go for that!
\
NHL record for consecutive power plays without a goal is believed to be Toronto with 51. Florida had something like 41 PP's in a row without a goal last december/january.
What about to the start of the season. We and Sabres have to be on the verge of breaking that.
I watched a Pens game a little while ago during Wild intermission and my god that powerplay was something else. Can't help but marvel it.

Sounds like Vanek gets a shot on the top line.
So...guessing:
Vanek-Granlund-Pominville
Zucker-Koivu-Coyle
Nino-Haula-Fontaine
Cooke-Brodziak-Carter
?
Assuming Cooke comes back... If he doesn't, Lord only knows.
I personally have zero faith we aren't about to see Stu Bickel's season debut on 4th line wing...
Sure. Looks good to me.Sounds like Vanek gets a shot on the top line.
So...guessing:
Vanek-Granlund-Pominville
