The Nucks have an offensive system that gets everyone excited because there is a lot of movement, but there isn’t really a ton going on.
They pretty much play a powerplay umbrella system 5 on 5. They just rip it around it and then launch point shots looking for deflections and that’s it. It can be effective because they have d men that are good at getting shots through and forwards that can tip it, but defending it isn’t overly complicated. Box out and fill the slot and they’ll either miss the net a ton (tonight’s game) or have it blocked.
What a pathetic PP. Preds don't look to be even giving it a serious shot this game. Unless their plan is trying to win 0-0. Just awful team to watch. Just changed the channel and watch the AV's beat the Jets.
For a grimy team, they are playing incredibly cute in the offensive zone. Looking off shots and making soft east-west passes high in the o zone at a clip that would make the Oilers blush on even their cutest nights offensively.
