Dvorak should definitely help a bit, help with the loss of Dach, I don't have any hope for the PP, not with the same ppl in charge, if Burrows hasn't fixed it yet, it's not gonna happen, hes been given enough time. I don't expect a win against the Caps, just a MUCH better effort, and score a few goals to make it entertaining.
The lack of a threat on the right side, be it a true #1 RW or #1 RD is glaring, which makes the Matheson/Caufield combo highly predictable and manageable. Also, who ever is at the center/net position often cancels themselves or disappear completely from the play when there is rarely any real threats coming from the blue line, instead of being viable pass options for everyone.
One other thing that kills the powerplay, the dump and chase, literally flipping a coin for the possession of the puck with the other team when they are able to clear it without icing is extremely dumb and demotivating for everyone if done and failed repeatedly.
When Dvorak comes back I hope they send Monahan on the second line with Slafkovsky and Newhook. We already saw last year that Slaf and Monahan have a great chemistry

Get rid of Burrows – what will happen? The powerplay will get worst?
Montreal will beat the Caps.

dvorak has to miss a certain number of time/games cause they put him on ltir
It seems they fell apart when dach got injured I know it's only one game but they better put it out of there mind or it wont be fun
So if I get this right in practice their crappy power supply cannot produce against their crappy penalty kill. Oye!!!!
