I agree that the powerplay has been garbage in the first two games, but I don’t have any problem with the entries. The Flames have actually been quite consistent in gaining the zone, but the big issue has been all the standing around and bobbled plays in the setup. Everyone’s timing looks off, but I think a big problem has been Matthew Tkachuk. He is really struggling—which is unsurprising, but it is affecting his line and the #1 PP a lot. Once he gets going (hopefully before too long) I think the powerplay will look much better.
