    Rahahahhahahahahahahaha, No amount of practicing in the world will fix the PP, its a coaching issue.

    Like Mr. Escalante' said, maybe they all make the same mistake because they all had the same teacher!

    Half and half.

    It could be Lindy's inability to coach on the PP, or the inability of the players to correctly execute the PP, I personally lean towards the latter, especially with Connolly and Pominville out there for it.

    As far as I can remember, our PP wasn't as bad in the past 13 years of Lindy, but I could be wrong and I don't feel like checking, so whoever wants to, please support or refute my statement with facts.

      i think the sabres powerplay has been streaky when its at its best. it's never been consistently good.

      i think during 2006-07, we had the long streaks of being very capable with stretches that mirror everything after 2008.

      I'd rather have a powerplay that operates in the top 10 regularly, than having a dominant powerplay for 4 weeks and a putrid one for 4 weeks.

                    gotta love when snot nosed kids think they know more about the PP than a HoF coach. Still a laugh a minute at the zone.

                      I wouldn't blame Ruff at all.. its the organization for thinking we didn't need a special teams coach.
