How the f can a team thats in game seven of the second round have such a dog's breakfast of a powerplay.

Why are they still so goddamn stationary when receiving passes. They looks like an amateur team against the Oilers PK

This team is done

You don't score on a 4 min powerplay, more likely than not you lose the game

We can't generate anything, we can't enter the zone. We have no speed.

Look how Edmonton enters our zone. We can't even win board battles.

Alot of this is fatigue - lost every single puck battle on that PP. Everyone is weak on the puck.
How is it fatigue when we have had 5 or less shots in the first period in 8 of the 12 playoff games?

This has been our MO for the entire run. It is ridiculous.

Oilers PK isn't that good, we f***ing suck. So many dumb passes and lost battles. Hughes is too slow at the point, muller bumped it back to him and he could have stepped up one stride but by then the PK guy is on him.

They really just don't snap it around in a convincing way at all. It's so frustrating.


It's not even really a "coaching" thing. You can't "fix" it with strategery and tactics. It's just like everyone on the powerplay is procrastinating. You have to move the puck quickly and unpredictably to exploit those seams they're so desperately intent on finding for those "tap in" or "automatic" one-timer goals.
