Yeah your pp sucks when you have 1 shot and have given up 2.

Brutal.

Marner is looking off so far, slow and predictable. Hopefully he can turn it around on this PP.

Don't understand the logic - slow everything down, when your team is built for speed.

The leafs need to fire whoever is running their PP. This is pathetic with this much skill

Thing is. I don't think the coaching is the issue on the PP. It's the players themselves. No coach would ever dream of telling them the approach the PP the way they are doing.

It's Gauthier, if he's not at least five strides ahead by the hash marks the refs assume he'll lose the foot battle.

not sure it's about creativity.

Leafs need to:
- play the right way
- get pucks on the net
- go into the dirty areas
- get their compete level up
- get pucks in deep
- play a full 60
- and give a 110%

the issue is that leafs play the pp on the same tempo.
doesn't matter whether it's slow or fast - it's easier to play against for opponents if all at same tempo, since more predictable.
i'd like to see dermott on the pp for that reason.

I agree the PP is predictable and infuriating. Is it Hiller's fault they also have no effort? The PP doesn't just suck - no one (frank)ing seems to care. Break it up and try something else. Put Muzzin's shot out there instead of Kadri.

That's why it is the coaching staffs' fault. This should have occurred already

It's Been reported that the players are being told to go to a spot and don't move from that spot, to not be creative. That is why they keep making the same seam passes even when they aren't working. That is why they keep doing drop passes and they get intercepted, because opposition knows it's coming.

They are being told to be robots, don't deviate from the plan.
