The problem will be what happens after that. I guess we'll find out.
I actually like that better than the "give it to Johnny" first PP gaining the zone, because with this the defense can't just stack one side of the ice.

Fair point. I guess we'll see if the unit can do anything other than toss the puck back and forth at the point.
Thing is, it seems to me most PP's now do their damage down low, so you need players with good hands, instincts and make quick decisions.
Czarnik really should be the PP specialist but he is a handicap 5on5, and not that great on the PP either, so I don't disagree with sitting him in favor of a guy that can kill penalties.
Jankowski was supposed to be a guy that could handle the puck, distribute and with his reach, be effective around the net.
