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.

My concern isn’t that he will miss the net, it’s that he won’t have enough time to get his shot off at all and will also fumble his passes more often than Gio or Hamilton would.
Agree that it wouldn’t hurt to try something new though, it might be worth a shot. I just don’t see many power play systems these days that generate through a big slap shot. The game is different now, players are too quick to block shots. Now it’s all about strafing the blue line and firing off a quick wrister that can sneak though.
