Love the mentality of this PP. Play it like even strength
 
with Pionk, Shatty and ADA this team could have two decent PP units
 
That shift was a prime example of why Pionk is so polarizing.

He touched the puck a lot to break up plays, but he also messed up three attempts to settle it down and create a break out.

I get that, but why are the standards so different for him from just about any rookie we’ve had in the past?

If he were a top 100 draft pick, with less than 100 pro games under his belt, about half a season in the NHL, wouldn’t most people be talking about what he might become with a few years experience?

I am not projecting superstardom for Pionk, but there is definitely a pedigree bias at work here.
