That's a good plan, I also think they need to move JT to the front of the net from the side of the net. JVR played in the front of the net and was far more effective than JT has been. I think JT has the skills but he needs to position himself better.Put Muzzin out there with Rielly and kick Kadri off.
Teams would have to respect Muzzins slapper, Rielly can do his quick wrister on net, Matthews would be a little more open for his snipes because teams respecting Muzzin, Marners slap pass thing thrown in also.
They need more options as right now it's all Marner throwing muffins on net.
Don't disagree at all. But those guys are pretty rare. And yeah, we really need to look at changing the way our PP operates.t depends who's blasting it. If it's Burns (he uses clappers and wristers) or Subban blasting it from the point it's pretty effective. It's still a fine tool on the PP IMO granted you have the correct personnel.
A one-timer from the circle is a terrific tool though, and it's what our PP needs. This whole madness of having everybody operate from their strong-side is just stupid, it's so easy to defend against. Why the **** is our coaching staff still doing this?
We all are. Fix the strategy or change the personel. Not going to fix itself. I'm open to ANY changesStarting from 0:06, Babcock says: "Ok well **** me, then. I'm ****ing tired of this ****. I'm tired of this ****."

you can try but Marner cant be playing the PK as well or you have lost your first linePP1
LW: Marner
C: Tavares
RW: Matthews (One timer)
LD: Rielly
RD: Muzzin
PP2
LW: Kap
C: Kadri
RW: Johnsson
4F: Nylander
5F: Marner (full two minutes)
Our enforcer is about as effective as a 90 year old unarmed woman in a wheelchair.Our power play is our enforcer. I think our enforcer is Jyrki Lumme.......
Here are the problems with the #1 PP unit as I see it:
1. Marner and Rielly are the only ones moving the puck, or moving in general. They're too stationary.
2. Puck movement mainly works through a triangle of Rielly, Marner, Matthews. Predictable set-ups.
3. Rielly isn't a threat to score from the point and never shoots, which allows the PK to collapse and focus primarily on guarding Matthews and Marner.
4. As Matthews is mainly the target man, PKers have merely to close him off. Marner does the best he can but ultimately can only look to pass to a covered Matthews, feed it down low to Tavares, or shoot into traffic.
5. Tavares is wasted down low. Good hands in front of the net, but needs to be in a position where he's more involved.
6. Kadri does literally nothing but stand in the middle of the ice the majority of the time.
Almost every powerplay is Rielly, Marner, and Matthews playing catch along the outside with Marner eventually trying to thread a pass through the eye of the needle to Matthews or Tavares. Matthews is always covered and Tavares is usually in too tight to do much with the puck. The second unit at least seems to have a lot more movement when they get set-up.
That's a good plan, I also think they need to move JT to the front of the net from the side of the net. JVR played in the front of the net and was far more effective than JT has been. I think JT has the skills but he needs to position himself better.
This PP has reached an all new low. What the heck is going on?
What was JT's role on the Islanders? Was he the net front guy or was he the puck distributor?
He's kryptonite you guys better trade him . Seriously what has happened to team since he's arrived? Has there been any other changes?? Was the team just over achieving before? I'm kinda shocked to be honest I expect them to be much better.And a .500 record since nylander came back. Or near .500. Not too good.
