Why Bruce Cassidy is wary about changing a leaky power play
Why Bruce Cassidy is wary about changing a leaky power play
There's no reason to change it. Guys just gotta be smarter with the puck. At the end of the day, the powerplay won the Leafs series and it's scored 3 goals in this series.
That shot was a bomb. Don’t see much in the way of upper body injury with that release. Suggests His problem is between the ears. I think if you take pasta off and lose that cannon, defense improves but offense suffers.At this point I wouldn't fiddle with it, save switching out DP for DK.
DP is all the things we know he is -- when he's healthy. I don't believe he is.
DK, as Cassidy points out, is a calming, clever veteran player. He knows what he's doing and to my knowledge isn't hampered by (major) injury.
It will be interesting to see how DP plays in G5. If he's whiffing on the puck, etc., DK might step in.

Agree. We have forwards playing defense- makes no sense. Lead to a penalty shot when Marchand tried to chase Panarin down the ice and hooked him to try to prevent a goal.Seems a few aren't agreeing with Cassidy's philosophy, and neither do I. It became laughable that they gave Columbus 4 pristine short-handed opportunities on 4 consecutive PP's...never seen anything like it in my 42 years as a B's fan. (Makes you miss the days of Bourque and Wesley on the point)
I don't believe the risk is worth the reward, but hey, I'm not Butch either
The B's powerplay as of late has turned me into trucker-type cuss machine...which at least helps keep my airways clear.

or try to carry it along the boards when there's a defender right f***ing there.Take the puck to the net, not just pass it around the permiter and then shoot it into the defenders shin pad..
