Ok I've got to rant about the powerplay here...

Why the hell is Versteeg running point on the #1PP??? I like the guy but I'd only ever have him on a PP unit in the place of a guy like Johnny - handsy playmaker stationed down low or on the half boards. I can see the want for another playmaker type at the point but that's Brodie. Versteeg is just so redundant on that unit. There's zero scoring threat from the point in the current configuration. Dougie in place of Versteeg seems so obvious it actually angers me a bit. By far our most dynamic scoring defenceman and he rots on the bench. Hell even Stone has a clapper of a shot we could use from there.

And they just keep running that group out there like by some act of God it's just going to work itself out. There are obvious personnel flaws and it bugs the hell out of me that the guys who get paid to organize the thing just keep ramming their heads into a wall rather than make some changes.
