A concern for me is Tortorella's overuse of some players. This isn't a team full of kids, running older players into the ground in October is just crazy. Sedins are in good shape and can play well for old guys, but riding them is a short term option.
Luongo looks slow. Is he sick or injured? Is he just slowing dramatically? It's an issue. It's affecting outcomes. If he doesn't improve, I don't think playoffs will be an issue.
I think Tortorella will figure out the powerplay. I like his approach to the game. I do not think he has the roster to do stuff with, though. Gillis failed to provide a PP QB in addition to being thin at center. That's impossible to overcome.
For this team to improve Tortorella must be given the pieces! It is time to make improvements. Let Tortorella do it. Gillis plainly can't! Move Gillis into a Burke-like position.
