You haven't figured out yet that it isn't the coaching?! God could coach our PP. Wouldn't make a difference.

But it’s that nothing seems to have changed...at all. Trotz took essentially the same team Weight had and made them play within a system. Wasn’t Hiller supposed to be a PP wizard?

 

[danteipp]

That Dalcolle Bailey Bellows line working hard. Draw a penalty

Did my eyes deceive me, or did I see MDC out muscling some players for the puck?

 

[SI90]

Greiss and Nabby

You saw correct.

 

[PWJunior]

Haha, Lee again!

 

[islesfan186]

Nice shot by the Captain

 

[SI90]

The captain. Get hot!!!!!

Barzal creating.

 

[islesfan186]

Greiss and Nabby

I thought they said Greiss wasn’t one of the answers?

 

[SI90]

High blocker never fails.

 

[Not4u]

Nice to see the good Barzy again

What are you talking about, same team? JT is one of the best in close goal scorers in the league. Truly elite in that category and you think it's the same team?

 

[SI90]

I thought they said Greiss wasn’t one of the answers?

maybe he wasn’t. I’m just guessing. I can’t think of another goalie who played for both and won 20 games besides them.


Hrudey played for them but I don’t think he won 20 games?

Ok so he took a team minus their top player and made them more competitive. Doesn’t that actually work in favor of my point?

Not as it relates to the PP.

 

[scottywiper]

Barzal is a machine. You'd love to be on the end of his passes.

How does it not? Shouldn’t a new coach bring in new ideas? New set up? New system? Change personnel?

 

[SI90]

absolutely. If this kid played with a legit sniper it would be unreal.

 

[Islesfan22]

Nice to see Barzal created chances being finished

 

[SI90]

Barzal Hooked?


Edit - saw the replay. Good defense

 

[SI90]

Love this aggressive Barzal using his speed and splitting the defense. As long as he picks his spots and doesn’t start trying to force it he should be fine. That’s what leads to his turnovers.

 

[Tres Peleches]

Bellows needs to just make the simple play sometimes. He’s trying to do too much

 

[Uncle Duke]

Listen, I'm not going to extend this debate, particularly during the middle of a game, other than to say this. We lost one of the premier goal scorers in the league and he has not been replaced. His presence masked a lot of otherwise mediocre skills among the remaining players, with the exception of Barzal of course.

 

[SI90]

Koivula Just knocked down 2 guys with one hit!

 

[xIsle]

Komarov, I like him, but he has no business playing on this 2nd line.

 

[SI90]

Wtf. Guys whacking Barzal away from the play? How’s that legal?
