    With the change in PP units, will they...you know...move around instead of staying stationary playing catch?

      With Motzko, puck movement has been preferred over player movement.
      As long as it works, I don't care what they do.

        Sounds like the SCSU PP could use some "SHOOT IT SIOUUUUUX!!"

          The games against Wisconsin it was ridiculous how little they moved. If there is a clear path towards the net, why not skate into it and force the defense to move around? Our power play is embarassing.

            And with the skill we have with Drew, Ben (when healthy) Jensen, Dowd Etc... It's kinda puzzling.

              Motzko had mentioned them playing nervous for the last month, I'd bet that plays into it.
              Maybe shaking up the units a bit will help them re-focus.
              Hell, Brodz has 19 goals, his 1st PP goal was last Friday.

                That would be the first "adjustment"--Brodzinski on the first PP unit. Aside from putting Taylor Johnson at the point (probably ain't gonna happen), I'm with FTLT--if it works, great. Just a matter of time . . .

                    I agree with Euro. When your PP is dipping down around 16%, it ain't working.

                        Right now it isn't.
                        For most of the conference season they were clicking around 20%.
                        I really think it is just a minor execution tweak and getting these guys to relax and play "on their toes" again and they will be fine.

                          Could be. I just feel what they do is super predictable. Their passing has to be spot on or they get picked off.

                            Like I said earlier, that's how Motzko runs it.
                            He prefers puck motion to player motion which is easy to understand since the puck can move faster than players can.
                            Does it require some precision?
                            Of course it does.
                            But it's not like we are lacking in the skill department.
                            I just don't see us blowing up the entire philosophy at this point in the season.
                            Some tweaks will happen sure but if you are looking for wholesale changes, you are probably going to be disappointed.

                              I know it's not really the style they run, but I always like the idea of having a big body in front of the net for screens, holding defenseman off and getting rebounds. Oliver or Rabey would be perfect for that roll. It's playoff time, lets keep it simple. Get pucks on net, deflections rebounds.. ugly goals are beautiful goals in the playoffs.

                                That only works if your points can get pucks to the net. We have been iffy at best at doing that. We need to consistantly utilize our wings. They sometimes crowd to close to the side of the net and take away pass options to get the puck low. They need to be more reactive to the way teams kill. If they front our points as well as Wisconsin did then get away from the side of the net and create passing options. We need to get teams to move and chase more. If teams pack it in more and give our points more freedom then attack by rolling with the puck more. Pop a couple and it is amazing how quickly confidence grows. But the time is now to find it before its too late.
