I wonder how much of the bad PP was on Spott or how much it was on the personell just being bad, Robertson in particular (same goes for it being good now). Currently I lean towars being sceptical to how much a difference a PP coach makes in the reg. season as PP tactics aren't exactly hidden knowledge. I could see them make more of a difference in the playoffs when there is more adaptation game to game.

Should’ve drafted Makar
It’s not like these are bad players, but they were in a rut. Coaches address this by changing lines. It’s something coaches do every day around the league. But not here. They kept the top unit together for months with zero changes just waiting for it to get better.

It’s not like the pp looks significantly better either. Last night’s goal was at the end of the pp and Lindell scored it. We know he won’t be there again. The previous game was a nice tip from Hintz out of mid air on a rush play.

Maybe tomorrow when I'm bored I'll sit down and look at this recent run of PP success. I want to see how many goals were PP1 vs PP2. I have my suspicions.
Good point. My best guess is that Spott(+ probably Deboer) thinks these are the lines they think have the highest potential and will give us the best chance in the postseason if they click, hence the stubborness. If I'm right I think, for me personally, it's best to hold judgment until towards the end of the reg. season (I dont want to go into the post-season with a dysfunctional PP). However, IIRC, we didn't have the best PP last playoffs so I can't say I'm confident.
