Power Failure: Punchless Penguins Blanked by Rangers, 1-0
In the movie, Miracle, Team USA coach Herb Brooks hands assistant coach Craig Patrick a list of players during tryouts. Patrick scans the list and blurts, “You’re missing some of the best players.”
“I’m not looking for the best players,” Brooks replies. “I’m looking for the right ones.”
It seems the Penguins, or more to the point, our coaching staff, should follow Brooks’ lead when it comes to fixing our ridiculously ineffective power play. A power play that went 0-for-5 during last night’s stinging 1-0 loss to the Rangers at PPG Paints Arena. A power play that’s scored only seven goals in 51 tries…a pathetic 13.73 conversion rate.
