I figured since this has been a frequent sore point and problem that has, in part, led to some of the playoff failure with the Canes, we may want to have a dedicated thread for it.
In 19-20 through 20-22, Carolina had the 4th best PP % in the NHL at 23.8% in the regular season.
In 21-22, the Canes started off well and were at 23.7% (8th best in the NHL)
Since then, the Canes PP has average 19.7%, good for 22nd in the NHL.
In the playoffs for all of RBA's seasons, it's been an abysmal 14.2%. Only AZ (9 games) and PHI (16 games) had a worse PP% than Carolina.
Can the Canes win it all without an improved PP? What needs to happen to get the Canes PP to a level that will allow them to succeed in the ultimate goal?
Over this playoff stretch (2018/19 through 22/23) the cup champs have averaged this in the playoffs:
TB: 24.3% (27.3% in the two years they won it)
Colorado: 25% (32.8% in the year they won it)
STL: 20.6% (16.3% in the year they won it)
VGN: 19.0% (21.9% in the year they won it)
