True, but when you look at out PP set up do you not see a problem?
Johnny is where a one time shooter should be.
Backlund is in the same spot on the other side.He is not a good shooter either.
Gio is on the point, where he should be.
The other two are by the net to scoop up garbage.
So outside of the Gio point shot, all we have is a down low play. That's too easy to defend against.
Our forwards are average at best, but we have a great offensive blue line. You'd think you would utilize it more. Instead we ice 4 forwards on the first PP while Hamilton and Stone are on the bench.
Hamilton gets second PP with Brodie, but because of it he is the only threat and easy to defend against. Brodie is terrible on PP.
They should try two D on the points and get some shots on net and go for rebounds. Our PP does not create any havoc for PK units because we make too many short passes. A shot/rebound makes the PK turn around and create confusion. We don't do it nearly enough.
