It's wicked bad but this is a great time to be bad. More than enough time to correct it for the playoffs. And you just know they will.
Just playing along but how do you know this? What metric or indicator says they'll fix this for the playoffs? Certainly not past playoff performances and the fact they don't draw many penalties shows that it's likely they don't really fix it.It's wicked bad but this is a great time to be bad.

Typical HF. Always requires a metric. I just know hockey. Drawing penalties also has nothing to do with powerplay efficiency.Just playing along but how do you know this?

It happens. Assistant coach change can do wonders. Todd Richards saved Tampa's PP and PK. It's not personal, it's about coaching. They will be fine.
It's not just Leafs fans who thought that. During the preseason when they scored 2 or 3 power play goals by their #1 line, I remember Ray Ferraro saying they had a chance as a team to score at least 100 power play goals this season.
First of all it was said by Ray Ferraro who despite being one of the analysts for TSN is not a Leafs fan and does other games. So it's not one of those TSN = Toronto Sports Network examples that non Leafs fans love to keep saying.Wait - what?
Are you actually saying TSN was part of the Maple Leaf hype machine and was pandering to the Leaf audience by hilariously exaggerating and pumping the teams tires?
That is shocking!
I would also add as of today Toronto ranks 30/31 in power play time and has been at the bottom of the league basically the whole season.One thing that was mentioned a while ago (I think it was by Kadri or Tavares, but I can't remember exactly who said it) is that the Leafs don't get many powerplay opportunities at all for whatever reason, so it's hard for them to find their groove when they're up a man so infrequently. Being 21st in the league in PP conversion percentage is undoubtedly inexcusable when your lineup is stacked with that much talent, but some of this can be explained by their overall lack of powerplay opportunities.

So Ray Ferraro says one statement that he thinks the Leafs could possibly score 100 power play goals and it's just another example of TSN pandering to Leafs fans.Oh yeah the "non Leaf fans" are just making all that stuff up and there's no bias whatsoever on TSN.
What was I thinking?

Besides the power play it's not like Tavares did not replace the total goals that JVR scored. Last season JVR had 36 goals and Tavares is currently at 33 goals.Correct.
How dimwitted do you have to be to think taking JVR out and adding Tavares is going to suddenly and dramatically change the Leafs power play?

I know that last season the Leafs were 2nd overall in power play percentage. However it's not Tavares fault for their recent struggle when they are playing 5v4 and since Toronto is currently 30/31 in power play time it's hard to improve it during a game. There have been a number of games where they were given only 1 power play and a few times when they were given 0 power plays in some games.Cool... And how many power play goals did the Leafs score last year?

I already said how last season Toronto was 2nd overall in the league on the power play. What else do you want me to say?Cool... So - again - how many power play goals did the Leafs score last year?
