I feel that there was just nothing going on the PP, but I feel hard slappers once in a while will at least make those other players hesitate to block some shots when it isn't Johnny or Lindholm taking them.
I'll wait for about 10 games before I think we should make any major changes, but getting a hard shot onto the half wall, on their off wing, would be nice to see. I think it is really lacking right now.

Lindholm worked the Left wing side a lot in pre season. Why they went away from that and have him manning the right point is what is making me scratch my head.
First china game the PP looked dangerous with Lindholm on the LW, Gaudreau on the left point. Sometimes Lindholm would work his way below the goal line and feed Johnny as he cut in for a shot or a cut to the net. Sometimes Lindholm would work his way into the left faceoff circle and get into OV's onetimer spot and do the same thing.
The last two pre season games they changed that. And that change stuck into last night with zero positive effect. I don't know why they thought Lindholm was a good option on the Right point or RW.
