Is there something I can read about our powerplay system? Umbrella? Triangle?

Pretty much every team uses some form of 1-3-1, which is very similar to umbrella.

Pointman (Fox), 2 guys around tops of the circles (Panarin, Strome) High-slot/bumper (Zibanejad), Low-slot/net front (Kreider).

It's not static, guys will move aronud and interchange but that's the basic configuration

 

[Baby Punisher]

It's called "The get it to Kreider."

 

[Thirty One]

It's called "The get it to Kreider."

It's the very exclusive "right-handers only, no kids allowed" formation. You can play on it with a hand-written invitation from Panarin.

And pretty damn effective

I just wanna point out that some prominent members of this message board were actively stumping for the rangers to balance their power play time...use pp2 equal to pp1.


Felt like it was me and @SA16 vs a pretty vocal contingent here.

It is too static though, our PP is working but it often doesn't look great. Players stay way too stationary, most of the other teams with good PP's look a lot better and control possession as players shift around

Triangle is a PK system

Just for reference as a quick proxy...the Rangers look to have their PP1 out for about 70.8% of available PP time (5v4 only). That's 7th in the league (Excluding WSH whose data is a mess because Ovy plays on both units). EDM/PIT are the leaderers are 82-83% each. Dallas is last at 56%.

It's their own style... maybe a hybrid Umbrella/Overload with Fox and Panarin doing whatever they want from the top.

edit. just reailized this is reaaaal old thread

Q: What type of powerplay does the team run?

A:

 

[romba]

Need to figure out better zone entries. The cheat code to beat our PP is a) win the first faceoff and b) pressure the points and side boards. Need more support when the PK pressures....

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

A very good one

It's called "The get it to Kreider."

…And Zibanejad’s shot.

Anyone remember when their answer for improving our dreadful PP meant hyping Ales Kotalik’s one timer that one season?

Yeah, it seems like Plan A, B, and C on the power play is now Fox/Panarin set up Zibanejad for a one timer, Kreider screens the goalie, and Strome ... well, Strome is there too.

The bumper spot on PP1 seems to have no purpose. Zibanejad also did next to nothing when he was the bumper with Strome and Panarin on the walls.

 

[TominNC]

Pass it around, try to avoid Strome and set up Mika one timers. Opposing teams know Panarin and Fox won't shoot yet they still can't stop them.
