I see that you didn't care to comment on the quality of analysis that GioforPM made.. You might notice that I just commented on the things that GioPM said... not the possible biasedness in his opinion or the general quality of his posts.
In defense of my post the very next sentence describes a major difference in the PP that makes Wheeler better than Gaudreau. When Wheeler bobbles or misses a pass the bigger stronger and just as quick Jets win the puck battles at a far higher rate than the Flames. That is not strategy or coaching.
In general the Flames coaches get blamed for the PP . the Jets have a simple predictable PP. The Jets have the talent to get it done. Would the Flames coaches be so bad as to mess up the Jets PP?

That's fine except that Ehlers is in fact the puck carrier and distributor like Gaudreau. I think that the Flames do quite well at puck battles on the powerplay. Win their fair share. They also don't have that many battles however, because they are too perimeter based and opposing teams are content to let them pass around the outside.
