Sigh almost survived the period

We need fresh ideas for how to run a PP.

Fresh idea would be to try some different players out there. I could say if the first unit was creating a lot of chances but they aren't. Carlyle then calls a timeout to send the same 5 out there that just did absolutely nothing with the first 1:30 of the PP and then Dion almost gives them the SH goal. Your leading scorer and hottest player on the bench for most of it.

Kessel/JVR/Bozak + Phaneuf have combined for 10 PP goals.  Only Clarke MacArthur and Kadri have scored PPG goals otherwise, and Kadri hasn't scored a PPG in 9 games.  Why wouldn't you run with those guys?

I don't have any stats, nor do I think the 2nd pp unit has had a consistency of players, but I feel like per PP min the 2nd unit is as dangerous as the 1st.

Kadri has 4 PP pts in his last 12 GP. I think he and his unit deserve more PP time at the very least. He's the Leafs hottest player with 12 pts in his last 10 GP.

Not sure what it'll take.

To be fair, they have a 91% PK.  That's pretty great.

Yeah... Though it's still frustrating. I miss Kaberle/McCabe back there.  :-\

Probably, but they're still getting out there.  A bunch of posters were wringing their hands the other night about Kadri not playing the PP, even though he had started 2 of 4 PP's at that point or something.  One unit will almost always stay on longer than the other, I think both units are firing on a pretty similar cylinder at the moment.

I wish the Leafs were leading, but I can't complain. Watching it free in Arizona with a cold pop in my hands. GLG!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I think we really miss Lupul's size up front against Boston.

 

[Kaberle15]

Komarov with his 100th NHL hit... in 25 games...

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

When you're hot, you're hot.

Kadri's the real deal.
