The Lock Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 11 hours ago, LaBamba said: Tou completely misunderstood what I said but watching these videos reinforced my beliefs. No $&@t! You need to get in front of the net. But look at how the d-men draw the box further up the Ozone allowing a forwards to seek in front of the net through the back door. With a manned at all costs blue line the Box does not need to move forward to challenge the point. That is what I'm trying to say. I don't care how big you are you aren't going to get infrint of the not with 4 forwards collapsing in front of the goalie. This is why I give little credibility to someone saying "let's get in front of the net" you need to open it up down there. Here's the thing, if you're talking about the beer leagues, chances are a player's shot isn't as accurate as it's going to be in the NHL. You're comparing a league where players are less likely to be able to get shots through traffic with a league that can actually use traffic, deflect shots more efficiently, etc. You're comparing apples with oranges. It's funny and ironic how you mention "credibility" in your post. Just saying. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuardian_ Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Having a really big dude in front does more than just screen the goalie, he also creates a pick when there are a couple of passes behind the net leaving an open lane for shooting. Or he creates space behind the net for a player to set up because the dman can't get around the dman to the puck handler. Lurch/Groot, with his wing span would be a very good candidate. Willie would only try this for a game or two and then revert if it didn't work. I'd also like to see the team start to develop Big T as a PP guy instead of thinking he has to "earn" his spurs first. Plainly, it is easy to see the restraints put on SOME of the rookie players out there and right now they have a harness on him, defence only, don't rush the puck and dzone play.

JM_ Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Our PP can't get a shot on net but this is WD's big concern for tonight Yes lets focus on that 4th line. Oh well, even with a lower quality draft year I still want a high pick. Vancouver CanucksVerified account@Canucks Gaunce will not play tonight. "Nothing against him, he's doing what's asked of him. Want a different look tonight on the fourth line." - WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'd like to see it but I think the thought of him in front of the net on the PP may sound better than what it would be on the ice. It would depend on how well we could control the puck. With Tryamkin down so low, he'd be canceled out of the defensive play on a short-handed rush the other way. No way he's getting back to play any role defensively. He doesn't have the speed. He'd become a defacto forward caught in the neutral zone on the way back. This could be a huge liability. I like the thought of him in front of the net on the PP, it's the other way I'm worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Megna is getting a shot on the 2nd unit. With Eriksson back on that 2nd unit too - my guess is that Burrows comes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman64 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 seems to me we try and play perimeter during the power play and go for the perfect pass at the end but it's not passed fast enough to catch them out of position and the point men need to move closer in because long passes for point shots or high slot shots are taking too long and goalies have time to square up and/or a block by a defender and it doesn't get through It just isn't working so if you want to play that game it needs BIG screen or deflection but with no screen, just no results... period... it's getting annoying to watch to say the least BUT at least a big bodied screen would help if that's the continued game plan for PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have been wondering for a while why the Sedins do not use their passing to control the rhythm of the PP more. The are such strong passers, they could easily throw some quick passes around before going back to their standing still and observing for a while, then accelerate it again. They are intelligent players and some rhythm changes, e.g. by quick passing, would force the D to at least move their legs a little and open some lanes somehow. I also noticed that Hank had been shooting more a few games back, but he seems to have forgotten about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
