DIBdaQUIB Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Gawdzukes said: Hoglander gets himself into a lot of decent scorning positions but he needs to work on finishing and hitting the net with all those chances. Brock's all around game was far better last year, especially defensively and playing a heavier game. I think you may be selling him a tad short. Perhaps. I was mainly thinking of his offensive contribution. I don't see him as effective at distributing the puck, winning puck battles and creating space and his skating speed and edge work is average at best.

Every other team knows it and seriously cheats to stop that play. Would like to see OEL there more often tbh. He has a shot that gets through and on net and he uses both sides of the ice with his passes. Even if they replace Miller with OEL and keep Hughes there too we would be more effective IMO. Yeah either that or Hughes should start shooting more. He has worked on his shot off season and we saw it on display in the preseason and first few games. I think he might be trying to get Petey going but he should just shoot and that should open up more room for everyone elae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might change Garland right side, Brock left, and Petey in the bumper. No big slappers for Petey but he could very well be dynamite in the bumper spot.

Think how many goals Horvat has scored from there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think how many goals Horvat has scored from there. It can be for sure, but we haven't really used it as one this year. As well, Horvat and Boeser are different players. Horvat is much better in tighter checked areas and at getting the 'garbage' Boeser should be on one of the walls, being set up for a one timer or to let his lethal wrister go. But I will wait to see it in game action before I make a real judgement. The above is just my opinion, I'm happy with the different look on the PP units as they definitely haven't been working so far. Now I just hope each unit gets roughly even time on the ice.

Popular Post DS4quality Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 Can Green try to split Pearson and Bo for a game? I'd like to see Podz, Bo and Boeser for just a game, or Boeser with Bo and Höglander. Wasn't the point of of getting Garland to get Bo a winger? 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note - Brock Boeser didn't get his primo minutes right away either....will this be what the doctor ordered? Find out soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, at least to try OEL in that spot for the time being. Even EP has become stale within his own play and instincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree OEL is much better at QB'ing a PP. It's mainly due to his understanding of how and when to shoot the puck. Quinn's getting there and has supreme passing but his shot is weak and a last resort and opposing teams don't respect it that much. The bigger problems are Petterson and Miller don't shoot the puck they just play ring around the rosey with Quinn until one of them loses it. Until those two start shooting it doesn't really matter what anyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
