I think we just need to simplify it. Our top PP unit can be fancy with cross seam passes because they're ridiculously talented. Our 2nd PP unit should just focus on gaining the zone, then shooting early and often and crashing the net. Maybe even shift to a 3F2D setup to get Andersson involved. But I think if we try to keep doing the same thing as PP1 we'll continue to struggle due to the talent disparity.

If you look at the 4 goals we've scored, they've been:

Rebound
Deflection
Rebound
Screened shot

None of them have been seam passes or overly pretty plays; just generating an open look and getting guys to the net.
