My issue with the powerplay is that they always dump the puck on zone entry. And they dump it hard. You see teams like Minnesota carry the zone with numbers, gain the line and then boom....its set up and they're moving it around the perimeter looking for a shot. Dumping a puck isn't the worst thing, but we see the same hard ring every single time to the weak side, then its a 50/50 puck.
I guess if they are going to dump the puck I'd like to see a soft cross ice play (like a lob shot in golf) into the weakside corner where you have the weakside wing going with speed to get to it first.
Seems like every team runs an umbrella now. UND is no different. They try to get a body in front and get a one timer from somebody to make the goaltender move which creates a better chance for a rebound. Last nights powerplay goal was pretty lucky. But then again you can't ever be mad at a guy for getting the puck to the net.
