Game in and out the same thing seems to occur, the PP is horrible. Therefore looking back at the Power Play, certain players seem to be a common denominator when we score. The statistics do not lie. Does the staff look at this? Why players who can't score, move quick, pass or skate laterally are out there is a mystery to all! Zero
- for eleven [11] that's got to stop. What we did was go back game by game and looked at the power play combinations that worked. Here are our findings, players on the ice when we score. Please take in mind that our Captain gets the most time and his production is poor, stay on the PK, no Coach would stand for this. Why he is still out there is crazy. Try #18 MIKE KENNEDY instead, can we say HARVARD GWG. Anyway here is the skinny for who is on the ice for the PP goals,enjoy:
RIT: 10 3 8 12 26
Brown: 10 3 8 12 26
Yale(maybe the most dominant game of the season except for UNH):
3-PP Goals- 26 10 12 8 3
Dartmouth: NO PP but at the end what combination produced: 8 26 12 10 3
Same combinations ay!
This is where percentages started down the toilet
Princeton: 29 10 12 3 26 // 8 27 15 17 5
Quinnipiac: 26 24 29 3 12
Wayne g1: 15 11 27 17 8 // 15 8 27 11 17 // 29 26 3 10 26
Wayne g2: 10 3 12 8 26
RPI: 10 27 8 15 24
Union: 12 26 29 20 3
UNH: 12 8 27 29 10 // 8 15 27 3 24
LOOKS LIKE this is the First Unit: 26 12 8 3 10. Considering how poorly we have done there was some consistency each game. Coaching staff please try this, it worked. Also, # 10 numbers dropped since this combination was broken up.
HELP!!!
3-8-10-12-26 has only one D-man, right?
[quote French Rage]3-8-10-12-26 has only one D-man, right?[/quote]Right. Just Seminoff.
I found it interesting the other night when the Bruins had some good and some not so good powerplays. The announcers were saying that the powerplay looked very good when the guys moved around, but didn't accomplish much when they stood still.
Gee, too whom else might that apply?
3-Seminoff
8-Romano
10-McCutchen
12-Sawada
26-Scott
Not unusual to sometimes only have one defenseman on the power play, of course. At one point last night, Clarkson had 4 forwards (Dodge, Cayer, Zalewski and Weller on one unit. And Cornell's "first" power play unit -- at least to start -- in the St. Lawrence game appeared to be: Bitz, Scott, Sawada, Carefoot, Greening (five forwards).

It was five forwards but it was McCutcheon, not Carefoot.
Schafer has more often than not gone with four forwards and sporadically gone with five forwards. I'm actually shocked that they haven't had more shorthanded goals against over the years especially when they've had five forwards.

They've usually had at least one back-checking, defensive forward when they've gone with five. Ryan Hughes no longer patrols the point (shiver).
Also, we just don't face that many ECAC squads with aggressive kills. At times over the years I recall only Harvard (often) and Dartmouth, Yale, and of all teams Union (occasionally) being particularly pernicious. And, of course, everybody we've faced in the NCAAs except Quinnipiac that one time when they were scared witless and down 3-0 in the first 6 minutes.
