Colorado Avalanche Must Design New Power Play Strategy

During the game recap after the Colorado Avalanche lost to the Calgary Flames, TV analyst Mark Rycroft got so wound up about the ineffectiveness of the team’s power play, he remarked, “Passing the puck nine times on the power play should be a crime. You should go to jail.”

In that game the team had three power play opportunities. To be fair, Avs forward Sven Andrighetto did score a power play goal in the third period. However Colorado had already blown two power play chances, including the one in which they passed the puck nine times but failed to register a single shot, and that set Rycroft off.
