I believe 17. But someone confirm.

We are refusing to score on regular season PPs so we have some Playoff PP goals leftover.

Spott is 3 steps ahead of us at all times.

Will Nill learn from history or be doomed to repeat it for a third time?

If he's fired, it won't be until after the season is done.

Nill's at a point where he'll be kicked upstairs. He's not gonna be fired.

We saw SOME signs of trying something different last night unrelated to Marchment's injury. Duchene replaced Benn on the 1st unit for one of them. And promptly lost the opening faceoff.

If nothing else, I've enjoyed seeing Ralph show up in my Twitter feed wondering wtf this team is doing this season, too.

They've been trying different things with the same units for a while now. Spott is bad but its not like hes crazy, he knows changes need to be made.

Unfortunately a lot of this falls on the players and their lack of creativity/speed. When they try to play fast they rush shots and passes and bobble them. That doesnt work so they default back to passing around the perimeter.

JoePavs was probably more of a player coach than we realized.

At this point, if they don't put Nils on the PP, I don't know what else they can do with roster decisions to make it functional. Outside of turning an LD into a RD. Or they just start taking matching minors and then never have to worry about the PP.

They otherwise can play fast and terribly, or slow and terribly. They can't and have barely ever been able to be both agile and accurate with the puck.

The way Duchene walked the line on that 3rd goal tonight. ..Put him on the PP point!

If we wanted to be good I think it's actually possible now.

Duchene-Granlund-Hintz-Robertson-Harley SHOULD work as a first unit and you have cover to move Benn off with the new acquisition.

Granlund will start on the 2nd unit I imagine
