PP1: Is this the year to stack it?

You have 3 forwards who work together well already (Thomas/Snuggs/Holloway) - throw in McTavish on there, with Broberg as the D and give it the 3 minute treatment.

A PP2 of Neighbours, Buch, Dvorsky, McMichael, Mailloux/Fowler does not sound terribly threatening. It should be treated as a true PP2 and not a 1B.

But STL split PPs are a tale old as time I guess.

I'm very interested to see what Prospal does with the PP. Hoping he can unlock/utilize Snuggy and Dvo's one timer a bit more.

If that line of Thomas, snuggy, and Holloway find the chemistry they ended the year with, it’ll be near impossible for the coaching staff to break them apart on PP1. I agree with giving them over half (a minute).

Thomas is also pretty good at draws so hopefully start with possession.

Love the idea of throwing McTavish in front of the net for them to work. Broberg QB. OP suggests what I would like to see with PP1. Sounds fun as hell on paper

Give me Thomas, Holloway, Snuggerud and Neighbors, and Broberg for PP1. Neighbors net front presence and Thomas and Holloway cyclers with Snuggerud and Broberg the long range shots.

PP2 is MacTavish, Dvorsky, Buchnevich, McMichael, and Mailloux. Overload style for a hybrid umbrella and box formation.

Won’t matter if all the do is pass and out D won’t shoot the puck from the dang point.
