When did Keefe try "dividing" the stars on 2 PP's instead of loading one up? And is that when the PP fell apart?

Maybe my timing is off. But I think it closely lines up.
 
The biggest issue with Hyman his first year or two was HIS complete inability to capitalize. A lot of glorious chances died on his stick. Same thing with Bozak's first year. Guy literally cost Kessel 15-20 points because he just couldn't finish. Hyman has grown tremendously in that regard.
But did he? How did Matthews do that year?
I agree he wasn't the player he is now, but I did say that he would develop into this type of player

Saying it is just Rielly is very much so over simplifying a bigger issue. Every one of them is over passing and indecisive out there not just Rielly.

They are overpassing because they have players on them. It's almost like one on one
It opens up if Rielly is covered, but nobody pushes up. They'll let him shoot
 
I was always told if the leafs stars had more PP time (like other star players) their stats would be much higher and closer to earning their cap hits. I'm starting to think it's the precise opposite at this point.
 
Matthews not only handles himself fine, but instigated that like a badass.
I’m glad that he is like that but , and I love the player big time
But , Just so you know zeke , I don’t know if you’ve ever played a sport or if you were a fighter in hockey or outside of it ?
Either way , I don’t wish it on you by the way , believe me , I’m still sore 20 years later lol
But seriously , when your smiling like our superstar was , here’s the thing , he’s pooping his pants hoping he won’t get smacked around ..
I loved it when the opponent was smiling that smile in a fracas , I would call it a feast ;)
 
Malhotra's solution to fix the PP is to bury Nylander for some reason
He's giving Reilly the veterans treatment, because going with 5 fwds is risky and no other Dman we have getting top line PP duties wouldn't potentially cause drama imo, if not within the team but the scrub writers like Cox and Simmonds would try to stir shit up
 
We need a legitimate ppqb. One that can shoot the puck. Reilly is not that. I dont even know what he is anymore since he makes a ton of defensive blunders as well.

I really thought when we got Keefe and Malhotra as coaches that we are finally going to see some old school game

You know some hitting, some pushback, some fightbacks night in night out

This team looks like it's been the same team for 5 years. People are going to say, why are you complaining in a game we are winning?

It's because we can't put them away. We can capatilize, we don't take it to another level.

And the PP has scored a hell of a lot of goals in the last few years with Rielly on the ice. It is an issue with the whole unit right now.
