The depressing thing is seeing the same predictable pattern every time. Same tossing it around the blue line and corners, same lack of movement and lack of cross-ice passes. Last year when the PP was going well there were a lot of quick passes to guys near the crease that led to scores (Gagner and Wennberg involved in a lot of those). That proved unsustainable after December, as did the ability to get set up quickly in the zone.
With the willingness the coach has shown to changing things up, just surprised they continue with the boring sameness. They've made personnel changes but the stuff they are attempting to do looks depressingly the same after they get set up. It'd be one thing if they were trying new things that weren't working, but this is the old line of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
