On occasion the staff here at WIIM get to chatting about a particular topic, and sometimes the discussion takes a life of its own. The penalty killing post here earlier got some of us talking about some issues with power play tactics, and below you can read that conversation.
Kyle: I think we should dive into the PP stuff. Was thinking about doing a post that explains why they aren't really executing.
Caleb: The Wings best (and seemingly only) PP plays are 1) the slap-pass to Nyquist to tip in from the slot and 2) getting puck to net-front guy next to the net and spinning in front of the net while others crash it.
