  1. Thanks for answering my question! I'm surprised Otter isn't higher, but I would think a couple of off games can really throw the numbers off still relatively early in the season. And knowing that you're probably not getting a ton of goal support could make you take some chances you wouldn't normally take to try to be perfect.

  2. People not moving without the puck on the power play. People are getting the puck are not in a shooting position…

  3. Benn's game has come under a ton of scrutiny the past few years, but he is locked in now. He'll get a one or two year cheap contract until he retires. He will pick up the pace the last month of the season the closer he gets to the cup and he will be invaluable in the playoffs if he stays healthy. And he will. He just doesn't miss games throughout his career. He is here to stay. The problem with the power play is not Steve Spott; it's the head coach. He gets the final say on the system or formations they run, and personnel. PDB has to get his players aligned and motivated to do execute the game plan
