The Avalanche power play has been a major source of fan grumblings for years but take a tour around the league and most fans feel the same way. Nobody moves, they never score, coach doesn’t know how to run a proper PP, etc. This past season the grumbles have merit with the team finishing dead last in the league at 12.6% and an anemic 30 goals with the man advantage. The Rampage were in similar territory for much of the year but got it sorted late to finish at a respectable 16.9% so this hints that there was a system issue that Eric Veilleux figured out and Army/Bednar did not more than anything else.
