Was Rick Tocchet coaching the power play last season?
Remember the unit that started 15 for 38 (39%) in October and the assistant in charge was.... yeah, that guy Rick Tocchet. After that sizzling start, Tocchet's power play went colder than the Consol Arena Center ice (34 for 216, 15.7%) to finish the regular season at 19.3% (10th in NHL).
During Jim Rutherford's end of season press conference, he said this about the power play, "I don’t believe that our power play shoots the puck enough. Too often we try to make the perfect play. Early in the year when we were clicking along at a much higher pace than we knew we were going to, we shot the puck a lot.
