Yet they never did get a power play goal in him (their only PP goals in that series were against Bobrovsky, I think). Bottom line, their power play sucks on toast, and if that doesn’t change they’re making things a lot tougher than they would be otherwise.

The easy thing to do- and the thing I’ve been doing for two months now- is to point at the big power play fixer they picked up at the deadline and wonder why Kaberle is such a waste of oxygen. But it’s all around- for whatever reason, they just can’t get it going on the power play. Hopefully they find a way- I don’t know that they can beat the Canucks otherwise.

Luongo played out of his mind. Sure, he coughed up a few bad rebounds, but he stopped everything that the Bruins threw at him. They took tons of shots (12 of their 36 were on the PP), plus the ones that don’t show up in the boxscore as an “official shot.” The only real fix is (as has been stated before) is to get into his head, either by getting someone in front of him who can really hassle him or him goofing up and letting one dribble by.
