It's a lack of talent. In case you haven't noticed, this is not an overly creative team.

The best they can do is park someone in the crease and keep firing.....and when your guy in the crease is Perron vs. Chara......well, you see. Tarasenko is a one-trick pony on the PP....that gets old in a hurry. Parayko from the point....yeah, they've got that one figured out too. It's a 7 game series....not hard to figure out the PP from a team that isn't talented enough to be creative.

I'd put Maroon in the crease, and when he couldn't go anymore I'd put Sundquist there. Just create mayhem and try to manufacture goals from the goalie being screened. They really don't have any other chance.

You can make hay out of the 12 shots the Blues had on PP last night.....but maybe 1 or 2 of them weren't a complete look for Rask.....they won't score that way.
