Answering for Option 2:

Vaseline Podcalzone is a very big fan of the bumper play on the power play. For those who are not quite aware of what the bumper play is, basically the idea is to have a player that stands near the front of the net to look for a pass. Typically this is done in quick succession, with a quick pass to a player behind the net, who looks to thread a pass to the bumper player that is basically in the slot and in prime scoring territory. Typically when executed, this is a foolproof way to get a goal on the powerplay. For Podz, he has always been a net front guy. He is not the greatest at tip ins, and works better with taking shots in close quarters against the goalie. The bumper play essentially is the ideal version of that scenario for Podz, as he can easily rip a one timer into the net from that close to the goalie.
