If John Tortorella is coaching your PP, you're gonna have a bad time...

If Brad Richards and Dan Girardi are QBing your PP, you're gonna have a bad time...

If your name is Henrik Lundqvist and it's the playoffs, you're gonna have a bad time...

If you think the PP is beneficial you gonna have a bad time.

 

[SA16]

No problem with that tbh, he's been our best forward. I swear I'll kill a kitten if Nash and Callahan continue to dangle and not take shots. Guess what guys, you're allowed to shoot, you don't need to carry it into the net.

He has a bad shot and isn't a good passer. It's really unacceptable for him to be out on the powerplay except for taking faceoffs.

 

[Holocene]

Surprise! Our PP might end up costing us a game!

 

[3rd Guy High]

I really don't get why the one guy that shoots every chance he gets on the PP is not out there on a 5 on 3, nevermind every other powerplay....

I thought it was common sense to put a guy with a 99 mph bomb on the PP... Guess not though.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I agree.

But to be fair, right now, there is right to complain about the power play.

There has been this whole series. Same deal every game

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

most inept PP in the league. What a joke

we don't deserve to advance. Things need to change. I don't give a crap about mediocrity. I want the Cup, and this ain't gonna do it.

???????

 

[SA16]

Think about how bad our powerplay is and then wonder how 7 teams were worse in the regular season.

 

[trilobyte]

The real danger is that we know there is a Ranger penalty coming up soon, and that Capitals powerplay

 

[3rd Guy High]

Other than the PP, good period.

 

[Kokoschka]

Entirely true, but I guess he at least tries to use it.

 

[Oak]

We need a new coach. Ours is getting schooled by Adam Freaking Oates this series.

He's doing something right. I mean holy **** Ovie is blocking shots. Caps are looking pretty good all around.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Our PP is bad because our players are bad. Pretty simple.

I see you have your usual optimism. I hope you're not like this at parties.

Random person: "Kershaw, what do you do?"

Kershaw: "What does anyone do anyway, other than waste away and wait for their demise?"

There's always something to ***** about no matter what team you cheer for.

I rather have the Whales PP.

Yeah, he really got schooled in games 3 and 4.

Torts after game 3: Moore is running our PP!

Torts for game 4 and 5: Nahhhh, nevermind.

WAT?

 

[The Gloaming]

If this powerplay costs us the game....

Seriously. I was so disgusted with that **** powerplay. Not one good look. Cally taking bad angle shots, what else is new? Where the **** was Moore and why were Girardi, Beaver, and Del Zaster out there for so long?

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

We dont practice offense. I only care about 5v5.

Fire this ****ing ********.

 

[The Gloaming]

Surprise! Our PP might end up costing us a game!

Truly the discovery of the century!

 

[Kakko]

There is no reason for Boyle to be on the powerplay.
Last year, we had Callahan in front of the goal, and he was top of the league in powerplay goals. It doesn't make any ****ing sense

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Our PP is bad because our players are bad. Pretty simple.

I hope you're either joking, or just irrational out of frustration. We have very talented players, but they have no idea how the hell to work a freaking power play. They constantly stand still and don't shoot. I saw Richards hold the puck for about 5 seconds when he had a decent lane to shoot and look for a deflection, but he just held onto the puck. I understand if you have a player directly in front of you to pass it, but with that, you move yourselves to create a lane.

The Rangers just aren't capable of creating any sort of consistent offense on the power play. It's like they throw crap on the wall and hope some of it sticks rather than finding something that works and to be consistent with it. This isn't like the Isles power play yesterday where they had numerous quality chances but couldn't punch it in, this power play looks plain bad. And this is on home ice, too!

Cally has been in front of the net a TON this year, including in this series.

dont think they played as bad as board thinks, but they still look bad.

If they continue playing like this, it's probably 50/50 on who wins. Which is fine.
