This period has looked more like the first three games. The shots are there but nothing clean in the slot.

Even on the shot that hit the post, Trouba was smothering the guy. Martinook just made a nice play to get something on it.

He's averaging 54 seconds pp time a game. That's like 2-3 segments of mop up duty, which makes sense.

MH's point stands. He's only out there once they've essentially waived the white flag and want to have 2D out there to limit anything against, they don't trust having 4F and 1D on the 2nd unit to generate chances while also managing the puck at times, and understandably so.

But like he says, they have the wrong guy on the ice. Should be Schenider who comes out as the 2nd D to kill the last few seconds and transition back to ES and 'Defending'.
Dude… they were literally just out there for almost half the power play. If the coaching staff considers 40 seconds of power play time mop up duty because theyre too scared to execute a very basic line change then the entire staff should be fired in the middle of this game
