Honestly I think this has been a key reason to not winning at least half of the 8 losses this year and part of the reason why its struggling is the new addition of Hamilton paired with Brodie being on the shelf to start the season and Gio being away from game action for so long, the flow on the backend PP has been beyond annoying this year.

How do we turn this around?? I think we have been deflated by bad goals/defence this year for sure but how many times have we jumped out to early leads to then get one or numerous chances on the PP only to piss away the opportunities with bad stretch passes and terrible zone entries.

If we can start producing on the PP I think we start winning more games because we are seeming to bring our game at even strength the last 5 or so games and we are playing head to head with the opposition now and starting to dictate the pace of games when 5 on 5. If only we could score on those powerplay opportunities, it would help the team build on the confidence they seem to gain through first periods this year.
