What this means

Head coach Willie Desjardins has been adamant all year his power play is a pretty good one. It’s not. It’s been sliding down the rankings since November and was again a non-factor in an easy matchup against a soft Eastern Conference team.

At the start of the game, Vancouver was ranked 22nd, making this year look a lot like last year.

This group has gone through three different power play coaches in the past three years without improvement.

It’s pretty clear the makeup of the man-advantage unit could be improved. When everything goes through Henrik, it becomes easy to defend.
