Power Play Drop Pass Breakout:
I must admit that the drop breakout is my favorite in a Power Play situation.
It is not the only one, but the drop breakout allows you to focus on zone entry. Have 4 players attacking the offensive blue line with speed to play the rush.
In addition with a few adjustments, it allows you to play against almost all the P.K. fchk.
Some key points:
- Drop the puck as late as possible.
- Stay inside the dotsas long as possible.
- Position the high post at the red line.
- Respect the road: Keeper drive / Outside Drive / 2 high support. Some teams will replace the outside drive for a Bumper.
The main focus is on O-Zone entry and the the rush. At a high level, pre-scooting the opposing team allows players to have precise information on the pressure put by the P.K. fchk and therefore to make the best decision based on trends.
