Media whining? Since when is calling out the league's worst power play whining? With the talent on this team it should be MUCH better. And someone should be held accountable for this. Oh, sorry, I guess I'm whining.
Eventually, this is going to catch up with them.

It's not whining at all, it's called doing their jobs. With all do respect Paul, we're not all paid cheerleaders for the team, and we don't have to pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows. It'd be irresponsible to ignore a glaring weakness that's somehow been a major problem for 85 games now! Yes, we're all sick of hearing about it, we're all sick of talking about it, but we're not at liberty to pretend the PP is *not* an issue. I will say that the PP hasn't looked horrible in the first three games despite not scoring... They're getting better looks and better chances, but it hasn't been enough yet. Until they can start making teams pay for playing extra aggressive against them on the PP it's not going to get any better.
Last night's win was encouraging. Dallas played well last night, in fact they probably gave the Preds they're best shot, but it wasn't quite enough. Hopefully the Stars will be desperate enough tomorrow night that the tight defense they've been playing might loosen up a little.
