Would it really hurt the vaunted Flames powerplay to try something new? I mean the PP is so good as it is after all..
Even if his shot does miss the net, it's going to make defenders move. It's going to make goalies react differently other than I don't know, maybe the napping position they've become accustom to when up against that flames powerhouse power play.
Edit: here's what we know of the Flames PP so far.
Pass,pass, indecisive, yeah I'm gonna pass, oh a pass cross ice hoping for tip, pass intercepted, cleared. Regroup, skate up to red line drop pass to Johnny, pass pass pass.
I don't think I've missed anything.
