While I might not be an expert, this still seems like a very bad idea.

Get back on your meds Lou.

Of course lamoriello would bring back his boy. Shouldn’t come as a surprise. Only took a 12th ranked PP the season prior and turned it into a 31st ranked PP last season, and went 1-17 in the playoffs. Fucking idiot🤦🏻♂️

Well we aren’t gonna be making the playoffs again.
toledosurprised
they’re really counting on the slightly better personnel improving the power play i guess

I loved him as a player but for the love of GOD get his ass away from our powerplay

Well, at least Bailey isn’t on the PP anymore. As much as I liked the guy, he would get the puck on the PP and just dance with it, never shooting.

Look, I go to bat for LL and LL a lot, I mostly think they’ve done a reasonably good to great job coaching and constructing this team.
What the actual fuck, though

They didn’t upgrade the roster all that much, the inept PP will remain. After this baseball season, the giants last night the fall and winter doesn’t inspire much hope
SlowReaction4
Wow they really did very little to bolster the roster. Didn’t even improving their coaching. Disappointing

Let’s run it back a year older and slower. It will be totally different and better this year!
ponradcrofit
The only decision this off-season I’m perplexed by. Hopefully they have the toughest leash possible going into the season..

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

So we don’t improve with trades and we keep the mastermind of the worst PP in the NHL. Woopty doo

same personnel same coaching staff different result LFG

Literally the one thing I think every Isles fan can agree on is we need a power play. We would not be scraping into the playoffs with a just average power play percentage. MacLean needs to go full stop.

I mean hasn’t our power play sucked through multiple coaches
FalconSixSix
Will he remain on staff but not coach the powerplay? If they want to keep him around then fine but the powerplay was pathetic and someone needs to be help accountable
Oddo_Rocket
Why does Loue always have to be so complacent with this team. A play off team should not have had as bad of a power play as we did last season. We aren’t gunna get better if we don’t have the proper coaching staff
PachytheDino
We have had like 4 PP coaches and nothing has changed, its the players fault
BKong64
Keeping the PP coach is fucking inexcusable, if it starts off bad again he’s GOT to go but Lou loves protecting his hires.

For a guy tasked with removing a country club culture lou doesnt demand a lot of accountability from anyone
