Our PP has been bad - and cold - lately.
0/4 Today
0/3 vs Islanders
1/5 vs Oilers
0/2 vs Kings
0/3 vs Oilers
So in the last five games, our only power play goal was against the Oilers. That's also a mere 5.8% on the PP over five games. It just hasn't looked good for a while. And it's not a lack of skill, because this team has skill. What they lack is any sign of a PP system. And we know there's a system in place because we see it during 6-on-5s. But our PPs just tend to look bad and produce nothing.

It looks like they're trying to get a shot from the point, but they aren't fooling anyone and can't stretch them out enough. 45 seconds of mostly ineffective perimeter passing followed by a shot into extremely heavy traffic has gotten really hard to watch. the lack of urgency on the pp in general is alarming - i'd like to see jooris out there to provide some energy. They constantly dump around the boards to a waiting dman because theres no real forecheck to force the D or to get the dump
