I've wondered this forever....why is it that so many teams do not throw a body in front of the oppositions tendy on all PP's? Guys like Holmstrom and Franzen have made a career out of it and it's proved to be effective.

Roberts was a champ at it when we had him but it's not been a guaranteed move in recent years. No doubt you need to be able to take some punishment but if it's going to improve your PP and in turn your shot at winning games then it's a no brainer.

It bothers me to no end to see the perimeter pass game wasting PP's year after year. Pick a guy, send him in front and do it every time.

Please and thank you.
