Look, I didn't play hockey at a high enough level to have gotten into this depth of detail about power play setups, so I am unable to discuss with any degree of credibility the pros and cons of such things as how running a power play from the "weak side" affects the PK box, etc.
What I do know, though, is this...our power play stinks, and has stunk for almost a year now. It seems clear to me that Letang is not the guy through whom this team should be running the power play. He has no shot from the point, his passing ability is very "mediocre" IMO, and his decision making seems poor to me. However, what he DOES do well is he keeps the puck in the zone very well, at the point, and he has the speed to get back and defend, and break up odd-man short handed breaks. So he's not useless, but it seems obvious that he shouldn't be the guy through whom the PP runs, through whom the whole thing is funneled.
SO -- here's my question. We have all-world forwards like Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, and one of the best -- if not the best in the world -- net-front presences in Hornqvist, so HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD can our coaches not be doing WHATEVER it takes to get this thing rolling? Talent is obviously NOT what is lacking. It is obviously either discipline (players freelancing), or strategy -- and that includes the possibility that the main problem is they keep running everything through Letang. I'm pretty convinced it's mainly strategy, and then this failing strategy is CAUSING some freelancing from the players, out of frustration with the lack of results. But whatever the case, WHY does this team keep forcing an umbrella setup, that runs through Letang, when it's clearly not working???? What is wrong with these coaches? Why the stubbornness? Why trying to hammer square pegs in round holes -- when we have all the evidence in the world that it's not working? What is wrong with these people??? How can you not clearly see that the talent is here, enough so that this SHOULD be the one of the top PPs in the league -- and if it's not, we need to look at ANY AND ALL solutions/strategies to maximize our talent to lead to the right results. WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR THESE COACHES???
That's sad accountability.
