“Strategical.” Love it.
They HAVE to figure it out. Teams win or lose from the PP in the postseason.
Owen’s point here is right on. Dahlin and Thompson consistently hang onto the puck and slow down the tempo, which makes it far easier for the PK to aggressively defend them. Look at how Montreal defended the PP1 unit vs the PP2 unit, which plays with much more quickness in their passing. Night and day difference. Not really sure why this hasn’t been addressed in the film; you could credibly make the argument that the units should be flipped in their usage right now, which is nuts on paper.
