Neither do the players with him coaching.

Sounds like some people want to have their cake and eat it too.

I must‘ve missed it, did Burrows trade the PP QB?

Oh yeah…. there‘s never been one since Markov

 

[Rubbishtrap]

no PP quaterback
only 2 players that can really shot to score

Sure he could try slafkovsky on PP1 but I think they really want to stick with the plan and ease him into the role through the whole year

You gotta remind yourself this team was supposed to be bad this year

The 5 on 3 PP then the 4 minute 4 on 3 PP in OT were absolutely brutal. Geezus, stop with Hoffman for f*** sakes. I love Dach, but he over passes and is not a shooting threat.

Put Guhle or Xhekaj on the point!!

Caufield & Suzuki at circles, Dach down low/behind net, Dvorak net front, Guhle point on PP1.

Slafkovsky, Anderson, Xhekaj, Hoffman & IDK who else with Monahan out, but put a body at net front.

Put Hoffman on the half-wall, so he can use his one-timer. Slafkovsky can get that set-up. Anderson backdoor. Xhekaj on point.

Watching Dadonov & Armia trying to pass on the 4 on 3 PP ..... ugly.

total idiots running the PP. Guhle, Arbs and Slav should always be on the PP. Stupid Dvorak and Armia lol,and that waste of space Dadanov.. my god just put him and the fans out of their misery and buy him out

How does a 4 minute 4 on 3 PP in OT not lead to a goal? why is Dvorak out there and everyone else is either not in a one timer position or moving the puck well or getting good looks?

Having elite players helps a PP but a PP is only as good as the strategy and structure that is being used for it. Clearly we have neither and considering we have had many different players come and gone since Burrows came in, I'm inclined to believe the source of the issues is both the structure employed and how its communicated.

 

[Clumsyhab]

I don't have the stats, for the past few years, but I'm very confident that we have always been in the bottom 5 on the PP since Burrows is running the PP. Listen to the coach press conference in the past 3 seasons, whether it's Ducharme or MSL, we always hear that the team played good at 5 on 5, and they lost the game because they were not getting goals on the PP. Burrows should have been fired when Ducharme was let go IMO.

Edit: Habs PP since Burrows first full season

2021-2022: 13.70% in 82 games,, 31st in the league
2022-2023: 14.40$ through 28 games, last in the league.

Anyways, I think that when MSL was hired, he wanted to keep most of the staffs because he was a rookie and didn't know most of the players. I just hope that when the rebuilding is done, the management would fire Burrows and let MSL choose his own assistant coaches.

 

[Habsrule]

Other than Caufield and Suzuki it is not like there is much more high end skill on the team. You could say Dach is and eventually Slafkovsky will be. But for now their really are only two great offensive players and their is no true quarterback on the power play.

It has been and always has been : A PP Quarterback
You don't have one, your PP ain't going to work....I don't care about the strategy, structure or players you put on the ice.

We never had one since Markov, the PP never worked since then....no matter the playerx, no matter the coach,
At Least with Weber we had a point shot.....now we don't have even have a point shot or a quaterback,

If you actually think he's fully responsible for the powerplay... you're being naive. The entire coaching staff will put a system in place and while Burrows may be the one to implement it. This isn't the NFL where a defensive coordinator is going to control half the game.

Also, imagine blaming the an assistant coach when we have exactly 2 (maybe 3) players who are actually worthy of being a powerplay unit at all - especially when none of them are an actual PP QB.

Or, everyone needs to be a threat to shoot.

Lol the solution to everything is always just fire people…this thread is absurd

That doesn't have much do to do with Burrows though. I don't care much about Burrows, but whoever calls him THE issue with the powerplay should probably find another sport to watch, because that person is clearly not understanding a lot of things to this one and is just blaming the coach as a way to simplify what's going on.

I mean... When you resort to using Joel Armia as a main PP player on a 5-forward, you're clearly lacking players to work with. Or you received a command from upstairs.

What about MSL ? He is the HEAD coach and he knows (he should) more than anyone else what it's needed on a PP

 

[HuGort]

Sometimes I just imagine next season, when all these useless veterans are gone and it’s almost all young hungry talent

 

[jrom]

Why do you want to fire our secret Tank Commander before the 2023 draft !?

 

[Adriatic]

Please someone close this thread.

 

[the valiant effort]

2005-2006 to 2011-2012: 3rd best PP

2012-2013 to present: 31st "best" PP

Haven't sniffed the top 10 since 2010-2011

 

[NewEraGM]

No it’s just people who need to see action. Yes PP has been bad for a long time but if you think Burrows is the one and only person who is responsible for the PP and no one else has any say, then you are sorely mistaken.

So many fans here panic all the time and want to see change often just for the sake of seeing change because it makes them feel good.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hiring Burrows and promoting him in the first place was absurd.

There's 0 track record of Burrows being a good coach and nothing on his resume since confirms that he is one.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Hashtags won't do anything on a message board. That's not how they work.

Anyway, closing this. There are other threads to discuss the coaching staff. Use those.
