Hard to carry the puck in from the bench. Ehlers is never ever on the 1st PP.

The year of the Jets PP lines

Maybe the Flames think that forcing a play increases the chance for a loose puck and they avoid doing it thus keeping it safe around the outside and the Jets say make the play, maybe loose puck, likely we get it back.

Fair share kind of implies 50-50.

Your analysis of the Flames PP suggests that Gaudreau is a poor distributor..

Is that what you mean to say?
