Fix the Power Play

At this point, deserves its own thread.

I get that it’s still early in the season but with zero coaching turnover and a pp unit that essentially swapped Ghost for TDA (who was here the year before), it already looks exactly like it did the previous two seasons. I don’t think we generated one high danger chance last night on our four opportunities. I know on two of them, we didn’t even generate a shot. I would like to believe Svech will come in and fix it but history says otherwise. 

Scoring short handed is not a sustainable counter to our pp being defunct lol. I think it’s a very real chink in our armor.

I think we just get way too focused on trying to create rebounds in front. We need to try to displace some of the bodies in the slot so we can get something cross crease more often. Nearly every chance we do get comes from working in deep, kicking it up the boards, getting it center blue line, back to right circle for a one timer or having them skate it in looking for a dirty rebound. It hasn't worked. 

Teams know what we like to do and force us into it while parking three in front of the net and one in the slot to keep pressure on the blue line/take away the circle to circle pass.

We did score a PP goal against the Sens and that first PP last night did everything BUT score. It was a beauty. However, it is still lacking right now. Give the kings some credit, that is a playoff and cup team we beat. 
 

3 short handed goals in two games is unbelievable though. At least we are scoring so far this year.

Im worried it will yet again be one of the reasons for a playoff exit.
