Bains? I don't get it.

Me neither. If you are trying to get a PP squad established, use players that will be with the team and performing. Not the time for AHL tweener that might be sent down at any moment. Are they trying to get him his first NHL point before his demotion?

Shooting the puck more often might help, too.
Too many cute passes.

- Marwood

Agreed. Hughes has reverted a bit to how he played the PP last year. It was working better when he was shooting everything possible in the first couple months of the season

Ops has come out high pressuring Hughes. He walks the line looking to get a shot through that Ops has closed down pretty good. Passes to right side half wall has the diamond creating forced passes or back to Hughes for a reset. Too static & not finding or making seams open up. Boeser moving in the bumper has gotten some good looks. Only Miller hasn’t been static. Move the puck quicker.

Need more of Hronek letting rip bombs. They either get through or hurt ops blocking shots. As for other plays there is far too much puck handling & not enough skating. Back door passes don’t exist & tips are too few. No shots & no rebounds. Cannot get any down low play going for net front greasy goals.

- Nighthawk

Pretty solid analysis based on what I've seen honestly. Maybe the only change necessary is swapping the 5th slot on the top PP unit for Hronek to make guys back off a bit or get hurt blocking.

He has been shooting but ops is clogging the middle so he’s passing more. Petey has to let rip more.

If it matters…

Hunter up to 80pts but slipped to 9th in scoring from 1st earlier on.

Mynio & Kudryavtsev been getting their points 43 & 42.

27th CA Jonathan Lekkerimäki 19 F 40 18 10 28

- Nighthawk

Lekkerimaki's ceiling is looking like a Boeser-type player, wonder how he will adjust when he comes over to NA.

Petey down low
Miller Hughes on the half walls
Boeser in the bumper
Hronek on the point hammering

Has the shot to be a top 6 scorer. Needs to get in small ice experience to see where he stands. Going to be a transition period & then a much bigger one in the NHL.

I got to see him at UVic once, he was doing a book tour for his autobiography. Even at 74 he was sharp witted and hilarious.

Always liked him, but never saw him live. I went to Eric Idle years ago at the Orpheum. Great show as well.

The spin cycle. Same guys as always.

There's no way Hughes is on a designated 2nd unit.
