Who has the best point shot on the Leafs dcore?

Holl

Put him on PP
- mr.sir

Point shot doesn't matter...Barrie proved that.

This PP has success when Marner is passing well...He has been brutal there.

Thought the 2nd PP did alright. Robertson,Muzzin, Galchenyuk were moving it around well.

Spezza has been the most consistent on the PP.

No, leave Rielly there. He’s more mobile and he can move the puck better than Holl. Do we think it’s possible they have all the right pieces but that they’re just a bit (frank)ed?

Yes.

I'll worry about it if it sucks playoff time...but I doubt it will. No sense getting angry about it right now.

WTF was Matthews doing on the OT goal.

He may as well have skated off for a change.

Who cares? We won’t get any PPs and Foligno will get suspended. So it is written and so it shall be.

Come on.

The threat of a point shot gives power plays another dimension for the PK team to worry about. If they don't have to defend against the point they can collapse around the net and choke passing lanes.

I dunno... I find 3v3 hard to criticize. It's such a dumb format that leads to ridiculous amounts of 2 on 1s, breakaways, and one team sometimes dominating possession for ridiculous amounts of time.

Not to say that AM34 didn't make a mistake, but meh... they got a loser point out of it, so I'm not going to dwell on it.

I'd just be happy with a point shot that manages to find its way to the net and not necessarily in it. Stretch that PK D and allow the players in front some room to gobble up tasty rebounds or make sick tips.

Rielly gets it on net well enough.

The Leafs pp success runs through Marner and Matthews moving the puck well. More low percentage shots means less touches for them.

Take recency bias away and that PP is deadly when they are moving it well. It'll turn around.

Leafs PP setup is completely different than the caps setup. The only one timers we see is JT in front of the net with the occasional Rielly one timer.

Also Ovi's one timer is generational so I dont care about that gif.

There is no player in the league that can catch and shoot on his off side like AM can. Thats the Leafs big weapon...not the one timer.

Fire up that unlimited Leafs money and lure this bastard away from Washington

BLAINE FORSYTHE - ASSISTANT COACH
Blaine Forsythe is entering his 15th season with Washington and his 12th as an assistant coach. Forsythe is responsible for the Capitals power play and the team's centers.

Over the last six seasons, the Capitals have converted on 318 of their 1,431 power play opportunities (22.2 percent), ranking second in power play percentage.

We are 5-4 this year in OT (not counting shootouts).

With the talent we have, that should probably be a little higher, but it doesn't really stand out as a problem area.

I love how he doesn't even react after the guy shoots.

Hard to tell if it was a goal - I'm assuming it was.

Edit: it's a goal.

Does he?

What you call "recency bias" I call "teams effectively neutralizing the Leafs ability to create passing and shooting lanes". Throughout the season teams analyze and evolve their game strategy.

Is it possible the Leafs are just having poor luck and are inexplicably snakebitten? Yeah, I suppose -- but that seems like a pretty convenient narrative to explain how every single month the Leafs power play has plummeted in effectiveness.

That OV shot is not from his typical "office" area. It displays a point shot that just so happens to come from a generational goal scoring talent.

The Leafs need more than one big weapon and, at the risk of repeating myself, not having an effective point shot - or an alternative shooter other than AM34 - allows teams to collapse and choke the life out of a power play.

Having said that, why do you think the PP has steadily decline month over month?

All I heard were his his muffled screams as we tarred and feathered him, and ran him out of town on a rail.

Yup!

3 on 3 is such an exceedingly rare situation in playoff hockey that it's just one more reason to not put too much angst into these (or shootout) results.

Ovi’s shot is no better than Jay Beagle’s.
