You said the PP is bad because the players are bad. Even though some players may be overrated this team has as much talent as most teams in the league. It's definitely the coaching. Torts doesn't play his best players. We definitely have enough talent to be at least average. We have:
Moore: Not Green, but he can handle the puck and get it on net.
Stralman: Can handle the puck and get it on net.
MDZ: I know he's not great, but he's a good passer.
Callahan: Not the most offensively talented player in the league, but being in front of the net is his forte. If he's anything, he's a PP specialist.
Richards: He's always been a PP specialist, sure he sucks this year, but last year he was pretty good and still the PP sucked. Plus, even if he's on the downside of his career, I'd think that the PP, where you don't have to skate fast or be physical would be his forte.
Brassard: Great passer, good shot
Zucc: Great passer
Stepan: Great passer, good shot
Nash: Excellent all around player. Yeah he's been bad this series, but how good was our PP in the regular season when he was excellent?
Are these guys, not enough to make our PP at least mediocre? No one is asking to be #1 in the league.
