No. Although the first PP goal by Kulak, Froese was passing by the front of the net. It was perfectly timed to screen the goalie during the shot.
The issue I see on their PP is that they're not moving around a lot. It was even more evident during their 5-on-3 PP for about 1 minute and a half. They were just standing around passing it to each other. All Rochester had to do was basically cover the the middle of their zone and let Wedgewood make the saves.
yea I noticed that too, too much standing around. But I wonder if they have the puck movers, I know Fleury has a big shot and can move the puck so maybe they give him more time. When SCSU had their 5 on 3 they put Poehling on the point, maybe they need to put Froese back there. Or if they opt to send Scherbak down and he clears, which I don't think he would but he would help the PP a ton.
At least the next game is when the Habs don't play, much better when they don't play at the same time.
2 for 12 on the powerplay wont cut it. Did they at least park Mccarron in front of the crease on some of the powerplays?
Laval is 5 for 43 so far this year, just 11.6% which ranks 29th out of 31.
The PK is sick though, they gave up 3 PP goals in 40 trys. 92.5%, 2nd in the league by a decent amount.
Although it's only 9 games into the season, new coach, new system so likely taking some time. Overall they have been really good for the most part just the PP is terrible and they need to score more. 23 goals in 9 games is so bad.
But at least Lindgren played well, he was facing the highest scoring team in the AHL.
