Tinkering with this power play, switching one player in/out, won’t do anything.

Safe travels DK. Hopefully they get the power play figured out.
cant the penguins just decline the power play?🙄
We are a shorthanded goal giver. Its a problem. They driven me wild. If you dont want shorthanded goals maybe leave Geno off the front 2 lines. Hes a turnover machine. Wanna make a splash and avoid tinkering??? Play Karlsson net front. Eff it. Hes an unbelievable hockey player. Challenge him. We got nothing left in the bag with regards to scoring on PP. Change. It. Up.
I've noticed that DK, but I was literally screaming at the TV for them to SHOOT THE PUCK and Stop passing it around. Seems like that they are always looking for that easy one tap Pass. But the DEFENSIVE is wise to that and doing anything to Stop the passes around the net 🥅. They better just start putting the Puck on the net 🥅 and then something good might just happen on our power PLAYS. Awful, Terrible, Disgusting, time to shake it up What would you do?
This team is a victim of its past success. Can't teach old dogs new tricks! This team would choose to miss the POs rather than change their outdated style, too bad!
Sign Corey Perry that would fix pp. Nobody wants to go to the net. He will. I'm sorry bench malkin hea awful out there. Awful.
Hey DK, the "new" guy in this debacle is EK 65. Why not put him on the second unit?? Put the #1 unit out that we've had?? They weren't this bad at all. I literally leave the room when we go on the PP. Always listening DK.
Corry Perry is looking for work. At this point, I don't think the Penguins can afford to not think about it. I do see at some point this month a player like Rakell being moved for a player who can make life miserable for goalies on the PP.
I think it’s the power play playbook not so much who’s out on the ice. Am I crazy? It’s pass pass pass to see if you open a lane but other teams I’ve watched have different formulas than our cliche set up. My opinion would be try new routes, the talent is there just not the plan
Tinker Failure Don't Know Why……..
Let’s hope for a turn around tonight in the win column.
Have to change it around, it can't get worse
Maybe it is time for Sullivan to go. Shades of Dan Blysma….
The Penguins PP:
Everyone at their corners, tic-tac-tic-tac tic-tac back and forth back and forth (Defense not even moving bc why would they? Offense barely moving) until someone gets frustrated enough to fire at the goalie who saw it all the way. This is insanity.
They need to straighten that PP out or get someone who can turn it around.
If Geno was taken off PP1 he’d throw a fit. I think that’s what needs to happen, as he seems to turn over the puck the most. Let Rust have his spot. Let Geno run PP2.
PP1: Crosby Guentzel Letang EK Rust
PP2: Malkin Smith O’Connor MP Graves
Pretty passes don't go in…unless deflected off a PK'r sk8😊
They need to roll with a better front on PP1. DOC, Zohorna or Carter if he is in the line up. They are currently not shooting the puck enough and there is no net front. EK’s point shot is not being used. Sid and Jake’s tip talent, rebounds, etc, are not being used.
They struggle last year. There worse this year. This is insanity, over an over an over insanity!!!
Guentzal looks awful on the power play
No PP = No playoffs. Could be 2 seasons in a row without a Pittsburgh team making the playoffs. Gotta go back pretty far for the last time that happened. I'm thinking 1987-1988. Time to drop the Mikes.
I hope you weren't driving on the turnpike while you did this Daily Shot
Penguins need to SALE the house and rebuild young
