One of the biggest issues is the powerplay. Its been evident during the losing streak but especially last night when we actually got calls go our way and got 2 extended looks 5 on 3...and all they mustered was 3 shots or something, and the puck couldn't be kept in the o zone either. Wasn't savard supposed to be some sort of offensive specialist and savor for the powerplay
I don't know if the powerplay is a coaching problem or a personnel problem. At times over the season so far, it looked good, and at others it didn't. It's hard to say, but personally, I think it looks more like an execution issue and not a systems one. I think it's just a microcosm of the team as a whole. If they were producing 5-on-5, but not on the PP, I would probably look more to Savard.
