The general idea for 'fixing it' is getting both JT and Rielly off it.
Last night JT was gone, and it was looking better. After they replaced Rielly with OEL it was even better.
The reason people say replace JT on it is because they hate JT.
Thing is when he was replaced with Pacioretty, as much as I've liked Pacioretty holy shit did that not work.
One of the reasons you have JT on the PP is because you need to win faceoffs and having both Matthews and JT on the PP gives you a better chance of winning the faceoff.
If you wanted to replace Rielly with OEL that's a change I'd look at but I'd want the 2 centers on the ice for faceoff purposes.
The truth is the real reason the PP is "struggling" and It's been 3 games so I use that term VERY loosely is because Matthews isn't scoring, the two go hand in hand.
I'm WAY more concerned about the PK, and I'm not even overly concerned about that because again It's been 3 games.
But they have given up 3 PP goals, IF there is an area of concern after 3 games that would be it
because the 3 PP goals they have given up represent 60% of the goals they have given up.
But again It's 3 games there are no real concerning stats yet.
