UPL wins January rookie of the month.

How many people here were throwing him in the trash?

I got bashed for not attacking a rookie goalie. Makes sense. Its hockeybuzz

When PP1 doesnt work you need a competent PP2... Having Bryson or Joker man it would be no bueno

Putting him in the Cozens/VO spot, where he was a lot in Michigan.

Now we're attacking a D-man cause he still makes mistakes in his end... Whos 22 and only 88 games into his NHL career...

Could be that there giving him a lesser load for tonight... he took a nasty butt end to the chin. Shoulda been a game IMO.. League talks about getting the head contact out of the game, but its just talk

They've done it before. Doesn't bother me at all. I don't care if the 2nd unit ever touches the ice.

Because they barely use their 2nd PP and they are 2 of their best offensive players. 2nd PP is an afterthought to me.
- Lunaion


An afterthought? They probably play a third of the PP time. Besides, if you play the diamond then you are playing away from Power's strengths (moving the puck and being creative) and asking him to shoot more (not his strength). His biggest values is at the top of that diamond and not on a wing.

You speak as if someone can prevent them from hitting the ice.

Huge regression after what looked like a great year rom him last year.

His mom can join the team anytime though...I have an extra seat at the game tonight... hope she finds my face comfortable

Absolutely. Load up PP1. Play them 1:15-1:30 of every PP

I’m good with Olofsson on the right flank of PP1 with teams cheating to Tage’s side.

Cozens should be in the bumper or high slot though over Skinner.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Well thats just not realistic. Guys get cold, hit walls, look incompetent sometimes.

PP2 has done more than enough when Olof was on it.

Take a look at some of his college highlights. You may change your mind a bit.

Agreed. But somehow Skinner is always there.. must be a pouty boy when not playing on PP1

The funny part about pp2 is that they move the puck around a lot better than pp1

As crazy as this sounds. Lybuskin for the last 2-3 weeks has been a good 3rd pairing D.

Bryson still stinks.

That wasn't meant to diminish his skill. It isn't like we are putting out Girgs to play PP1. I don't know if he is an upgrade over Olo or Cozens in that slot. I do know that his absence would really hurt PP2.
