Way faster. It backing the Wild up. PP is looking poised to strike.

A whole bunch of "almost" in their passes on the pp.
- RealityChecker

A small air of arrogance on their PP? JTM still seems to be bobbling all his passes

Passing is killing us otherwise we are owning this game.

I'm not liking this, at all.

Pretty even period, Minny defends so well.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go longer range shots. Point shots and EP from high slot.
They seem to be trying several passes and going low.

Not seeing that at all - Wild are aggressive as fawk, they would give any team a hard time.

Speed & intensity is there skill not so much.

Minny's just very good at pressuring. They need to move the puck so much quicker – both on shots and on passes.

Vancouver's PP1 is a lot of passing to get movement for a great shot. But it gets stagnant quick. Need more of a shot and rebound mentality right now to keep Minny from pressing so much.

Just got home, Rous 1:18 TOI? JV and Ferly also very low.

Cleaner passes are the answer

It's never a bad idea to shoot in hockey, or put the puck at the net. We also need guys to get to the front of the net.

Arrogance in that there's no immediacy in their passing and movement. Just thinking they'll be able to pass it in, set up, and go from there.

I agree but Minny clogs the middle & shooting lanes quickly.

All shots should go high or low blocker

A lot of Power plays and PK taking their minutes

Lots of PP's.

On the PP let it rip & let them wear it. First off a clean pass would help a ton.

Sure I agree with that. They have been able to move it around right up to the pass that leads to the shot.
Like you said they need more of a shot and rebound mentality.

Does that mean Blosteds narrative is coming true?

No intent but Brock over handles the puck too often. The game is too fast & less time out there. Rip it it or pass fast.

So quick release shots, get it at the net with a screen if they're set in the zone. The odds of (frank)ing up a pass before you get the quality chance is high, unless it's on a transition play.

My PP set up is simple...

2 on the 1/2 boards Petey & Miller
Brock high slot
Bo down low
Hughes the only point man

Miller & Brock can cycle out
Petey floats into openings.
Bo crashes rebounds & net front when point shots.

Yup execution & Making their passes right at the line is the problem. But if you look around the league (especially now with the amount of games) you'll see most PPs/teams are doing the same thing, drop pass and hit the neutral zone with speed. No ones doing anything different or groundbreaking. PPs are predictable as hell. Watched Vegas & Caps games yesterday - both were horrific
