found a place that lists the expected PP units, honestly, since OV is always double shifted

Time for Sammy to take the reins and not look back!!

Man they miss big willy on that PP1 (well everywhere really) but Vrana on the PP is a waste of time IMO.  He's a sniper with serious wheels, but he's not good at patiently moving around and making openings for himself on the PP.  Heaven forbid the puck go to the corner and he had to go in and muck it out.  I'd rather they gave a shot to someone else.  Hell put Hathy in there.  He's big and can move pretty well and sure as shit can muck it up in the corners.  I realize you want skill guys on the PP, but you have to be able to get in and win the puck and set up to use those skills.


The Spronger on PP2 is interesting.  He does have a wicked shot release.  Glad to see him (or anyone) rewarded for good play.

He's a sniper with serious wheels, but..

That's really all he is. A sniper with wheels. Then he pouts when he doesn't get ice. At least it's good he (at the moment) seems to shine once he gets another chance, but he needs to find that energy for every shift. Keep waiting for the PP demotion to spark Kuzy but so far he hasn't responded much.

not good..

Well that sucks.  Hope it's not super serious.


Ziggy?  He gonna play wing?  OR they finally moving J.Q. Dylan Norris up to play wing


I guess they'll move Oshie over to Center, and maybe the Spronger jumps to R1?

news was announced too late to get any line information

[richkrt99]

    I doubt putting Carlson on the wing would work.

[richkrt99]

So do they just NOT show replays for penalties now?

[richkrt99]

shit
