You’d think there will be a lot of interest - PP especially should be like handing off the keys to a Ferrari. Yeah, I think this is one of those situations where we can't let "homegrown" cloud our judgement. If we aren't getting results, that has to be the biggest factor in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We focus on the Canucks a lot, but the nature of most power play units is that they get hot and then cool off. To an extent sure. I don’t see other powerplays look completely lost and unable to even set up in the opposing zone though. That was a regular occurrence. Fans always get fooled by a top ranked powerplay though. My biggest want of a powerplay is to keep other teams honest. I didn’t see other teams fear our powerplay too much to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours looked awful at times as if no one was telling them what to do, or the players had no clue what they wanted. Just passed the puck around ad nauseum until the 2 minutes were up.

-AJ- Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Was cool to have an ex-Canuck on the coaching staff, but King wasn't working out well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency is key and they are not consistent. They’re the streakiest powerplay unit in the league. yeah, you're describing a bottom 10 team. the powerplay is the least of their worries. the fact that king achieved what he did with a completely broken team and no threat from the point is pretty damn good. I'm fine with him being fired because there were too many cooks in the kitchen, but he was by no means a problem or an area that needed particular improvement (compared to the whole).

Just passed the puck around ad nauseum until the 2 minutes were up. My biggest issue with our PP was that nobody held our PP1 guys accountable and they would regularly take 1:30 in ice time and not change when they could/should. It was disrespectful to the PP2 guys IMO. This resulted in some shorthanded goals being scored against us too. Anyways, yeah the passing around was very annoying. It didn't look like they knew what they wanted to set up. JT to Quinn, back to JT, the behind the back drop pass to Quinn who fakes a shot, stops for a few seconds, passes to Petey, back to Quinn.... yeah I know I know.... There was a short time when Tocchet took over and we saw a lot more movement on our power play, and I don't mean through passing but rather guys were skating around and switching positions. I also think that Kuzmenko should be stapled to PP1 over Boeser and Beauvillier. Maybe it was all a ploy to build up Boeser and Beauvillier's value for a trade?

iceman64 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Might be another coach out there they really like and negotiating or plan to soon or move someone up, I think the former, but I doubt AL would oust someone without a plan laid out ahead of time in that direction.

Foote takes care of the D and Gonchar will likely get the powerplay. Yeo can wax Tocchett’s head for him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
