October 11, 200520 yr why haven't they just put together a powerplay line of Lemiuex, Crosby, LeClair, Gonchar, and Tarnstrom? couldn't they almost realistically net a PP goal 90% of the time? they almost wouldn't need a 2nd line for the powerplay. park LeClair in front of the net, and let Lemieux, Crosby, and Gonchar do their thing. even for the sake of having a good 2nd line, put Tarnstrom with Palffy and Reechi. ok, end of hockey related rant.

October 11, 200520 yr I don't know why, but lots of teams don't like to put all of their offense on one PP line. I guess its the whole putting your eggs in one basket thing.

I guess its the whole putting your eggs in one basket thing. true, but when those eggs consist of (arguably) the second greatest player of all time, the next Gretzky, and a damn good powerplay QB, it's a safer move than if other teams were to do it.
October 11, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) 90% is ridiculously impossible. that's not my point, and I said "almost realistically" and said 90% as a, yes, ridiculously high number. with all they have, they're 17th in the league at 16%, and if you want a realistic number, 30-40% is possible with who they have.
October 11, 200520 yr good question. Its a shame they have no W's yet. If they had a good goalie they'd be unbelievably awesome. Marc Andre Fleury is damn good though. He should be their No. 1 cause even when Thibault comes back he's just gunna get reinjured. Plus, Fleury has shown more upside that Thibault. I'm glad my boys, the Devils, are leading the division. Its good to see NY at the top too.
