I’m pretty sure I heard it said that he has played center before. I’m sure they have different face off drills. I’m not entirely sold on McLaughlin being a natural center. He’s timid and underweight. I agree with you. Johannes creates and disrupts a lot of plays on his own. Perfect for the middle of the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I thought two things were evident yesterday. UM, under Matzko, is a damn good team and played about the best game they could. ND had a decent start, but as the game went on they could not figure out how to set up in the UM zone. No effective forecheck, poor passing, poor stick handling, bad penalties. If that is the best "teamwork" they can manage, we will be in for an ugly spanking again tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I think you've got to split up 17 and 9 on the PP because both of them are guys you'd want to be the focal point. I'd go: 22(L)-28(L)-9(R)-18(R)-7 (L)with 28 my net front guy, and 7 operating up top with 9 on his off wing wall. Other unit: 17(R), 26 (L), 14(L), 27(R) 4 (L) with 27 as my net front. Put 17 in his Duncan spot and work an overload concept with 4 and 17 and let 4 use his bomb of a shot if teams over play 17. I think having 14 on that off wing wall in give and go looks with 17 would give teams fits as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s only one puck out there and both 17 & 9 seem to demand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skilled guys have to be on the ice together. In todays game multiple guys need to be a threat on the PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Nelson is a good faceoff guy though. Big and super old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
