You wonder why our powerplay entry sucks? Because its slow.
Possession is all well and good, but if you arent moving the puck quickly it allows everyone else to get good and ready for your next, painfully predictable, move.
You mentioned Johnny. Why is he effective? Because hes fast and difficult to predict.

Actually, our PP entry is actually fantastic and is extremely effective. It's taylor-made for Johnny Gaudreau to use his skillset and creates the easiest entry.
And yes Johnny Gaudreau is incredible, but we need more players like him. We won't find any at the same level, but without a doubt we need more skill, speed and talent.
