kane didnt pass shooting last 2 games. he doesnt have a big slapper so.. best for him to move puck. they really need a bomber from up top.. I dont see gusto or boqvist being that type of guy... Gusto has a big shot. Not a slap shot kind of guy but his wrister is so deadly accurate and deceptive as his moves are. Are we talking about hockey or Lari’s bedroom escapades? I am indeed an A+ lover.

Hawks PP is 15%, and was again a big reason why they lost to the Jets.
Obviously Colliton doesn't have the balls, but if I was coach, I'd take Kaner off the first PP unit.
It's extremely predictable and slow moving. Everything goes through Kane's stick. A fresh look with an actual plan that involves everyone would do better. It doesn't have to be a one man show. Teams with a lot less talent are operating at a much higher conversion rate.

Better strategy would be to intentionally take a delay of game penalty on the first clearing. If they win the first draw, shoot the puck back to Crow or Lehner and let them shoot the puck into the netting.

Take Cat off that unit, too...his laziness pretty much cost them the game.
If Colliton had balls, he would give young #12 a night in popcorn row.

I know his shooting % is unrealistically low, probably going to go up. But he could use a night in the press box to tune him in. When he's not scoring, the rest of his game is pretty average. And his constant turning over of the puck is annoying as hell.

Last year he was scoring enough to more than counter the holes in his game. This year, not so much.

He just seemed engaged more last year. Obviously not having Kane on his line is a huge factor, but he still gets top PP time.

Cat changed his stick blade and worked on muscle building over the summer. Don’t change what isn’t broke.

At times, Hawks power play reminds me of the right panel of Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights.

The first power play unit, the biggest culprit of all in Winnipeg, also received a makeover, with sniper Dominik Kubalik assuming an Alex Ovechkin-like role — firing one-timer after one-timer from the faceoff circle — and grinder Zack Smith intriguingly slotted into a screening role.
“Just trying to get in front of the goalie’s eyes, be a netfront presence,” Smith said. “They want to shoot the puck more, they want to make sure someone’s there. I had strict rules where to be, but it’s a good opportunity.”
The first two power plays were as ugly as they’ve largely all been for weeks, but the third showed potential, producing nine shot attempts and five scoring chances.
