DownUndaCanuck Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 This is how we fix the powerplay: 1) Take Burrows off the first unit. He's good with the Sedins in cycling the puck and is great 5-on-5, but isn't our best man in front of the net. Our PP has been brutal the entire time he's been on it and needs to go. Our best crease presence is Hansen but Booth, Higgins and Kassian are all better at screening than Burrows. Burrows is far too easy to handle - simply just isn't big enough. 2) Replace Hamhuis with Garrison. Garrison has to be the only defenceman who's getting shots through traffic, and he's our biggest shot. He proved his worth in his limited time on the second unit, while Hamhuis couldn't get anything on net, either could Bieksa. 3) Work the point shot. Henrik and Daniel should be soley focused on setting up Edler or Garrison for a one timer. Both are left handed, so with Henrik controlling on the left half-boards he can set up the LD and the LD can set up the RD for a one time slapshot. Daniel hovering in the slot for a big rebound and the net presence looking for a deflection or rebound. 0 for 33 is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duodenum Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 His name is Jason Garrison, use him. If he's not out there on a 5-on-3, you should be insta-fired. No excuse for NHL coaches to not make such an easy, obvious move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 As bad as the drop pass is, it isn't our biggest problem. We rarely set up the powerplay, but even when we do we're not generating enough shots or chances. That all comes from work down low to draw defenders in, then working it back to the point for a slapshot with all the defenders collapsed. Right now we're not setting this up well at all, and PKers never need to collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It doesn't matter. None of the players give a flying **** about hockey anymore. Their compete level is shot to hell. There needs to be a new voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PENGUINScanFLY Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 No, put Garrison on and we won't even make it into their zone. I am so sick of this guy's giveaways when trying to make a play out of our zone! He's got at least 20 feet of open ice to aim at and he manages to hit an opposing player every time. Just watch: when Garrison has the puck behind our net, it does not make it out. Oh, to have Ehrhoff back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
