They have scored at a top 5 pace and limited shots at a top 5 pace.
Lindholm and Peters have been revelations. Smith has started to find his game. If Bennett or Neal can get going watch out. What a fun team.

I think the problem with PP 2 is that they try the same system and style as PP1 but they don't have the right personnel. And they have an incompatible mix. They have a net crasher (Bennett), a close in shooter (Neal), a point guy who doesn't shoot (Brodie) and Ryan and Backlund who aren't really that good at making plays. They aren't really capable of the pretty plays PP1 does, but they also don't put enough at the net for Bennett to be effective.
I wonder if they should put Lindholm on PP2 and let Neal play PP1.
