You could have them turtle and most nights that would be okay because at least there shouldn’t be any shorties.Aright fine guys, I’ll run the PP.
And there is that, regardless of his skill, I watch them enough and clearly see that they are always looking for a deflection when Stamkos or Kuch one timers are blocked.Tampa power play is very dangerous because Kucherov is an elite shooter and probably the best playmaker on the PP. His passing is insane especially the fake one timer pass
Discuss.
Have always hated the Umbrella or variation of that for the PP.
Goal line to half wall to slot should be the main emphasis of attention.
IMO it's easier to pull a defender out of position as well as he may chase behind the net for a 2 on 1, creating an opening out front or open lane for half wall.
Goalies have to look over their shoulder to locate puck carrier if Barkov is behind the net, this is literally the best spot for Barkov if he won't shoot. His ability to use the net and body/size to shield the puck but can also be passing for a one timers should be stressed at all times.
He can come out for a jam play or wrist a puck bar down over goalie too.
It's a simple triangle setup, Gretzky used it for nearly 2 decades, "his office".
Montour and Ekblad have that ability to get pucks on net but the constant resetting of the current Umbrella, focusing farther away from the net allows for pucks leaving the OZ. It also allows the goalie to have his attention facing forwards, not side to side.
Have Ekblad and Montour waiting for one timers in faceoff dots if need be but it's beyond maddening watching most of the league use this Umbrella setup.
Why we don't try more tip in, deflections as well, not even on the PP but in general just to switch up attacks/looks while in the OZ.
Our forwards have missed the net too much of late and defensemen outside OEL are having harder time getting pucks through traffic.
Since Marc told us to discuss, it's been 10 for 35 [[28.5%]] as of halfway point of VGK game (2 for 3 tonight).
Well done on the witchcraft, well done
Bolded parts have definitely picked up, a couple deflected or tipped goals in last few games.
Barkov is controlling the puck more on lower half wall but looks way more aggressive and allows for more fluid puck movement. Would like to see him more in trapezoid/behind net area but will take the current pace of PPGs.
Quick, accurate passing to slot or out high for a point shot and bang in the rebound or tip the shot.
How many SH have we given up in that same time?
Weve given up 7 on the season most in the league

It's an anomaly.4 SHG in that time frame. Let's set the record for most SHG against

I think it is. Even if Swaggy doesn’t take shots all the time, the PK crew knows he’s lethal, so they need to cover him… leaving Reino more open.Don't remember, but is this correlated to Carter being put back on #1 PP duties?
