    i'm probably the one that pays the most attention to this, but if you move Kreider to the 1st then you have all left-handed shooters, which i think makes the PP more predictable b/c one timers can only come from one side of the ice.

    I seem to remember reading somewhere that AV really studies the stats/ science of the PP, and they have found that the better PPs load up on RH shots.

    Unfortunately, we are weak in that area. With Cally out, it's really Step and Dorsett, who won't see PP time.

    In the system, we have Fast and Hrivik, who are both close, that are RH shots. Same with Kristo. That's all I can think of who are even remotely close to making it... Don't be shocked to see us use these kids eventually in this role...or we might pursue some more righty shots.

    I like the first 2 except i would switch stepan and richards. Nash and brass have had success together as have step and kreider the few seconds they were allowed to play together. If richards is going to rebound I'd play him early with brass and nash and the results shouldn't take too long to see.

    Anybody who doesnt stink. Seriously, I dont know who, but please, keep these units together also. I think the players develop passing instincts when they stay together, and that will lead to faster puck movement. Faster puck movement, more defenders out of position.

    definitely bluff. I got so tired of Tort's changing the lines. Really annoyed me when they had some success, and he'd still change them up.
