The powerplay needs a serious shakeup, but I am frequently surprised by how single-minded so many posters are about its problems. The drop-pass was not a zone-entry staple, and more to the point, it is a strategy that pretty much every team employs in various situations. Entries were a problem in the early part of the season on the powerplay, but this is something that improved as the season wore on. The Flames powerplay really failed in execution once inside the offensive zone.
This and Troy Brouwer's fixture on the powerplay are among the most well-worn myths on the board.
