Changes to the PP as well, removing Johnsson and adding Barrie.

Rielly
Barrie - Nylander - Matthews
Tavares

. . .it makes more sense. That bumper position that Kadri / Johnsson have had isn't offering much. Make it a guy with wheels who has a slapshot, and it might add a weapon. That powerplay basically has one guy you won't expect a shot from - Rielly.

Watching some clips of the practice, it almost looks like Barrie is positioned in a spot similar to OV on the Caps PP, just gonna let him rip the puck from there I guess?

I agree. It can't be worse than it currently is.

I'd put Spezza on the 2nd unit as well.

If Keefe has the top PP unit on for over a minute, it's already a great change.

Playing Mikheyev with Tavares is good
Putting Barrie on the PP is good
Giving them more than 1 minute of PP time is good.

If only Keefe was a classy guy

Like as Boston said last year after the playoffs. They only had to kill a powerplay for 40 seconds since the second unit was garbage.

I like Mikheyev on JT's wing.

I also like that the PP1 unit will consist of Rielly-Barrie-Matthews-Tavares-Nylander

Finally Tyson Barrie gets a chance to be Tyson Barrie

- PatC80


Yeah I like that too!

Let's hope it works out great for our own sanity

If he hits the net, Matthews, Tavares and Nylander(hopefully) can crash the net looking for a rebound..

Agreed.

If Keefe lets Barrie be Barrie, we might be an even better team?

I think people are starting to confuse Mattawa (which doesn't exist) with Batawa (which doesn't also exist)

Lol..

I’ve actually been to Batawa, near Trenton.

Ffs at least the blocked shot will be from Barrie and it won’t be a weak wrister from Rielly so the shot blocker just skates the other way for a breakaway.

But Muzz deserves some PP time as well....I like it.
