My NHL23 PP1
With the 19th PP in the league and even with our star power, something should get changed up. I don’t think Bratt on PP2 is a demotion but more so spreading out our talent.
Shango should be on PP2 though. Bratt > Shango from the slot will score goals and create better chances.
About time they’ve shuffled up PP1. Way too much talent for it to be as bad as it’s been recently.
I like those looks, even the PP2. Putting Foote there as a trigger man is interesting. Makes me think he’ll be given a few more games to carve out his role.
Hey we have right handed shots now!
These could be two pretty solid PPs. Bratt essentially takes the Hughes role of zone entry / distributor / shot threat on PP2 and makes it better immediately Iād think. Gotta get both units going for the playoffs!
I feel we’ll see a nice bump with these – and I think it helps PP2 as much as it helps PP1, wouldn’t be surprised to see Tatar replace Foote tomorrow
Literally suggested this PP1 to some of my friends when we first got Meier. Always felt like we were too overloaded with lefties to work the ice well so I’m excited to see what happens here
You can move the pieces around all you want. Won’t help. This is not a personnel problem. It is a PP system problem. PP zone entry tactics are bad. And then they usually move the puck around too slowly to get the 4 D-men out of structure. This is very weird, given that the Devils have a great 5v5 system that they execute very well. So you know the talent is there. Just not organized correctly on the PP.
Trying to limit Brattās points going into contract negotiationsā¦.
Haula should never be anywhere near a PP. On PP2.The fact that these coaches, after watching his GARBAGE finishing ability all season, put him on the PP is a fireable offense. It really makes me question the abilities of whomever suggested it at first and whomever decided he was performing well enough to warrant him staying on PP2.
