Announcers said last night the PP was third in the league since Steve Sullivan started running it. They must not do research.
Steve Sullivan is not running the PP by himself dipshit. Since he was hired, the PP has been done by committee, which means, at best, he’s running 33.3% of it. His PP on the Marlies was piss poor when he was running it solo. With the Leafs, he hasn’t been the sole reason for improvement. As I’ve told you numerous times, and you’re too retarded to understand it, the Leafs PP improvement is an addition by subtraction. By removing Savard, the Leafs immediately improved, regardless of who replaced him.
Also, while the Leafs PP% has been strong, their total PP goals is middle of the pack. If you’ve been watching the games, you’ll realize there are long stretches of games where the Leafs PP gets nothing. Then they have a big game like vs Anaheim because they decided to be motivated for one game. Then disappear again. Much like the rest of this team, the Leafs PP has been wickedly disjointed and inconsistent. A lot of the time, they’re scoring PP goals because of individual efforts and dumb luck and not because their system actually works. In short, it’s unsustainable and like the rest of the team, needs a major overhaul.
