ᴬʰʰʰ ᵍᵒᵒ ᶜʳᵃᶻʸ ᵃʰʰʰ ᵍᵒᵒ ˢᵗᵘᵖᶦᵈ WagnerCoup Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti I don’t think a 5 man unit can have 2 players with no shooting ability.
It’s too predictable and easy to defend, probably why the PP is ice cold every post season.
WagnerCoup Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti 1 PP goal in 52 games for Mitch.
I assume most of his points were secondary assists?
ᴬʰʰʰ ᵍᵒᵒ ᶜʳᵃᶻʸ ᵃʰʰʰ ᵍᵒᵒ ˢᵗᵘᵖᶦᵈ WagnerCoup Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti He’s not a scoring threat, PK units block his passing lanes effectively.
Rielly is a bigger issue IMO. He can’t pass or shoot whatsoever.
SnizzBone WagnerCoup Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti If he is so bad on the pp and is dragging everyone down then it doesn’t make sense why the PP drastically improved once he came back
3.47 GF/60 and 6.84 xGF/60 during the 12 game stretch where he was out
7.41 GF/60 10.48 xGF/60 once he came back from injury

ᴬʰʰʰ ᵍᵒᵒ ᶜʳᵃᶻʸ ᵃʰʰʰ ᵍᵒᵒ ˢᵗᵘᵖᶦᵈ WagnerCoup Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti I think the PP has good stretches in spite of Rielly, not because of him.
His puck skills are average at best.
I think someone who can shoot and/or feed Matthews with a *quick* pass would result in much more consistent success.
Rielly seems to slow the play down
SnizzBone WagnerCoup Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti Fax bro we saw how good the power play was in March when Marner was injured. It’s clear that he’s the problem
Oh wait
Guernz todd leigh offside Dijon Phaneuf I genuinely don't understand why it had to be a 1st from the Leafs, but only the Leafs. It lacks any logic.
WagnerCoup Active Stick Nylander also didn't play km the first PP unit for the first few years
SnizzBone Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti Goalposts moving...
Anyways, no one has more than 5 pp goals.
Marner has 8 primary assists, Matthews 4, JT 3, and Andreas Johnson, Michael Bunting and Willy all have 2 primary assists in the playoffs.
SnizzBone WagnerCoup Michael Cicconi Kevin Papetti Don’t get me wrong though the power play is still ass and needs to improve if we’re gonna win. I just don’t think it’s right to put the blame on 1 or 2 guys when the entire unit + coaching has been awful since March
Nick Richard I think we gotta get a dehumidifier in the room, give these guys some Nyquil, some vitamin C packs. Is Johnny T running a daycare at the rink?
Our boys are always sick.
WagnerCoup todd leigh offside Dijon Phaneuf They wanted a first from the leafs since they don’t have any seconds
Guernz todd leigh offside Dijon Phaneuf Not really, you didn't.
So they would take a worse package from the Stars just because the Leafs also don't pony up a first?
