Whatre you talking about? Wholesale line change=change the whole unit at once. He doesnt deploy half of PP1 and half of PP2 on purpose, sometimes thats just the way it goes when you change on the fly which is why there is a discrepancy between Horvat's PP icetime and Megna's

Yeah I got your point on ice time of Bo on line change moments. How it happens is curious too. Though Bo should be on a first unit at this point. I'd rather see they change the make up and strategy of both PP units.

Henrik 997 vs Crosby 983

Who makes it to 1000 first?

Yeah I was only responding to the crap about PP icetime.

As for the units I dont know what to do, there are pieces to the puzzle but I couldnt think of anything that would be effective, there just arent enough shooting threats.

No point putting Tree in front, as some have suggested, because most importantly a lot of the shots get blocked well before a screen is useful. I also dont think he would be quick on puck recovery

Bo: I cant figure out if he is a half-wall guy, slot guy or goal line guy. Probably would be good at all spots, but the lack of RH playmakers or shooters to work with him make me feel like it wouldnt be any more productive.

Sven, Sutter, Eriksson, Sedins, all have some strengths and weaknesses but the combinations dont seem to work well enough to produce multiple options on the PP IMO

Its funny because its a legitimate question... You gotta think Henrik gets a multipoint game and another assist somewhere in the next week or so. Crosby will make it close I am sure

I know....that's why I posed the question. Henrik or Crosby will be the 85th player in league HISTORY to get to the 1000 point plateau.

A remarkable feat when you think about it!

It must piss Crosby off that Ovechkin got there first

Although Crosby will do it in slightly less games.

That really did piss me off

Damn goaltending is my downfall....but I'm too cheap to acquire one!!

Hey why not just play Bo for 60 minutes a game would appease you...

Hi,

New blog is up, with a rundown of last night's game, historical power-play troubles and the schedule for Hometown Hockey in Vancouver this weekend...

To change the culture of this powerplay you need to keep the Sedins off of it. Really don't care what 5 guys you go with after that...and let them find their own way. The vaunted Sedin starfish formation ( everyone spread out and get as far from the goalie as you can ) is dead. No one falls for it anymore. Hasn't for three years. I watched a lot of what Philly did on the pp and found it interesting. They by an large worked with a net front presence and one shooter at the point. Then three guys in the middle. One at each face off dot and a guy in the slot.as soon as a puck went to the net they had a numbers advantage in the red zone. Not super fancy...but it was effective. After 15years of the starfish it's time for bold moves
