The one thing I like about Myers with Hughes is that it limits Myers from carrying the puck up the ice. Just hand it to Hughes and he’ll take care of the rest. So many times Myers has flashbacks to his rookie season and thinks he’s an elite puck mover. The less he moves into the offensive zone the better.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
DeNiro replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Dave Lowry coached his son Adam in Winnipeg. It was fine. -
You sure? Cause I’ve seen people make that argument based on where our PP is ranked. And it’s like yea we should have a top ranked powerplay, any coach could achieve that. More important for me is does it consistently make a difference for you in games? Does it allow more short handed chances against than shots on goal? How many times this season has our powerplay actually been an advantage for the other team?

Is he though? This is the fallacy that I always argue against. Having a top 10 powerplay is useless when it’s as consistent as it is and has given up more SHG than any team in the league. The powerplay is red hot against weak teams, but is so predictable and easy to shut down against actual good teams.

I liked what Tocchett said about Millers ice time. Right now he averages around 21 minutes a game. Maybe he should be playing more around 17-18 minutes. Maybe he actually thrives more with less minutes. It’s obvious he’s gassed a lot during games. That’s when mental mistakes happen. You can’t have guys killing penalties and being on the powerplay, and being leaned on for matchups. It’s just doesn’t work (unless you’re Bergeron). They need to conserve his minutes for important times in the game. That’s why it’s so important to have role players in the bottom 6. Something this team needs to address badly in the offseason.
