The whole point is you get a guy at full speed vs 4 near stationary players. There is a reason why everyone uses it.
The issues with the PP are when they get in the zone.

Exactly right. I thought the drop-pass was not working last night, and the coaches must have seen what I saw and made an adjustment in the third. But more often than not it works precisely for the reasons you point out. It is something that the Flames will almost certainly continue to deploy over the course of the season.
