I've said for a while now that the PP is far too rigit and systematic. You can almost see the players trying to go through the plays in their head while skating around. Starikov should have been at the point firing a few times each PP. His shot is a cannon. I truly hope he gets a chance in Des Moines and a team takes a chance on him. So much potential!
The power play has changed and been more successful lately.
In the last 10 games Spits PP is operating at a rate of 26.47%
Going 9-34 in those 10 games in which the Spits are 5-5 and 4-2 in the last 6.
Surely you cant blame the coaching for the nice uptick.
Sometimes though a great power play is not a recipe for team success,for example Kitchener is 3rd in the league on the PP at 26.5% yet they sit 8th in the conference.
Edit- I think the impressive play of play on the from Cuylle,Foudy,the return from injury in the name of Tyler Angle and more points from Nathan Staios,toss Damico,Purboo and Douglas,brighter days ahead.
