I think most people are missing the point when it comes to the Leafs powerplay. Over the last several years it has consistently been one of the best in the league (three seasons ago it was in fact the best in the league). But it dies every year in the playoffs, despite having the exact same set-up as the regular season. I suspect the problem is not the power play coach - it's that the same players who struggle to produce offense at 5 on 5 in the playoffs also struggle to produce offense on the power play. In other words, it's the players, not the coach.
It's incredibly easy to stop when you're willing to block everything and everyone is going balls to the wall in the playoffs.
Rielly-Marner aren't shot threats so you crowd Matthews/Nylander down low.
Bertuzzi was better at the net front and then we changed back to JT
The best way to lay out the players was -
Rielly-Nylander on the point
Marner at the left half wall to feet the net front (Bertuzzi) or cross ice for a Matthews-1 time or Nylander 1 time from the point, Rielly's job should have been to be moving constantly to create new passing/shooting lanes or if they cheat for pass, Marner needed to move off the half wall and fire a shot for a rebound or beat the goalie clean.
We made zero adjustments.
