Kraken @ Maple Leafs - Jan. 5th, 7:00pm - SNO, Fan 590

Ive seen better powerplays. Geez, at some point you have to pound it on net and cash in a rebound. Not every goal is going to be a 3 way passing play into an open net, but that's the way they seem to be coaching the pp.

Thisness ^

It?s not even good movement.  Stationary passes around the periphery that don?t force the defense to open up shooting lanes.  It?s just lazy play. 

 

[L K]

Well deserved to be trailing.  The Leafs have done nothing to generate good chances on their powerplays. 

The Marner-Tavares-Jarnkrok line isn?t working

 

[Bill33]

Who would have thought shooting the puck on net on the PP could result in a positive result? What is this witchcraft?

 

[azzurri63]

Oh Murray.  Bad

Ehhh I guess Gio nicked it.  Blah

Regardless bad goal. Look at Murray slow getting over and was still there. All he had to do is stand up and it hits him.

 

[ZBBM]

They'd damn well better call this.

 

[L K]

How do you miss Gourde hitting Sandin near the eye when he is literally playing the puck

 

[ZBBM]

Oh Murray.  Bad

Ehhh I guess Gio nicked it.  Blah

Regardless bad goal. Look at Murray slow getting over and was still there. All he had to do is stand up and it hits him.

Yeah, not great.

OK 4 minutes.  Gotta get at least one.

 

[L K]

Be kind of cool if Tavares could win the faceoffs at least if he is going to provide absolutely no offense

 

[Bill33]

If there's one guy that should be allowed to have a personal physician on the bench, it's Sandin.

 

[ZBBM]

The fans are getting antsy, Craig, because the PP is totally sucking.

 

[L K]

More nonsense on the powerplay.  Stop with this five man unit.  Tavares standing 5 feet away from the net doing nothing.  Both Bunting and Tavares occupying the same space but not remotely screening the goalie

 

[azzurri63]

You ever see anyone on our PP screen?
Never it seems. Get some traffic in there. Tavares and Bunting just looking for a rebound.

Exactly

 

[Guilt Trip]

JT with the tip...

 

[ZBBM]

THAT's how to deploy Tavares.

 

[L K]

And there we go.  Nice pass from Marner for the redirect from Tavares

 

[ZBBM]

Aaand way to hold the dang lead.

That aged well..lol
Do it again on the next PP.

 

[L K]

Come on Murray?that was garbage and this goaltending is becoming a problem

 

[azzurri63]

They waste too much time passing it around. Keep it simple when it doesn't seem to be working. Just like that get it to the net.
