Watching the Wild's 2nd ranked PP last night made me jealous. What I noticed they do better then most teams is that when they enter the zone on the PP, they treat it like they are still playing 5 on 5. Meaning no one stops skating. They don't play ''lax'' like lots of teams do on the PP. I noticed that they still skate and make plays like the other team has 5 men. They still play with urgency unlike most teams who take time to setup, set up formation, etc. It was a complete night/day difference compared to what the Flames were doing.
We haven't scored a PP goal in the last 6/7 games. Something needs to change quickly.
I think our PK will get better over time and will end up in the middle of the pack at some point. It's been a lot better lately, and the PKers block shots like crazy.
