Lets dial things back a bit here. If he makes The Sens next year then we can start talking about that, but as of right now he is an over ager tearing aprt The QJMHL. I like the guy, a lot actually, lets start to come back down to earth right now.

His shot is lethal though, that might be NHL worthy at this point. It's a bullet to say the least.

I think if you could get a real great guy to run the powerplay, you bring him in (maybe as a consultant) and you assign other duties to the current powerplay coach (who is that anyways) but you don't fire him (until later)

Work on what you have been working on, hopefully the tallent can get it sorted out.

Fisher, Alfi, Spezza, Karlsson, Kuba all have cannon's, that's even a stretch.

It has to be something when the Flyers and Habs have some of the top ranked PPs in the league. Pronger adds a massive dimension obviously, but just watching them in action, then re-watching your PPs would probably be a good start.

There's so much talent...it will be righted soon...right?

We're 74 games into the season. Our p-play has been at the bottom of the league basically since the beginning. I don't believe it will automatically, magically fix itself overnight. I'm sorry I think we need some help; divine or other ...

A fair point.

You misunderstood, top 3 shots on the Sens.

Fisher, Alfi, Spezza, Karlsson, Kuba all have cannon's, that's even a stretch.

I agree.

Talk to me about playoff Kovalev. When the playoffs come, I pretty much limit myself to following a few teams, and MTL isn't really one of them, so I've never really seen much of him in the playoffs. Does Kovalev thrive in the postseason, or is it just another time of the year for him to go hot & cold, just as he feels?
