Yeah, in one for four on the power play on Saturday, one of the key things that I think I was watching and looking for that I just never, and this even goes back to the Jets game on Thursday.

They had it where, because of Matt Boldy being out, Kaprizov sets up on that offhanded wing side, pretty much the mere opposite of Ovechkin in his office, where, frankly, I would love, and I expect a guy like Kirill Kaprizov to get set up if Matt Boldy's not there.

they didn't feed him the, like it should be the most point blank and shoving it in your face.

Hey, we're going to do this.

Whether you, whether you can stop it or not, we're going to just feed this guy the puck and granted with, with Quinn Hughes at the top, like running it, it creates more options.

It gives them a little more of a dynamic look on the power play and creative expression.

But for the most part, I was expecting, okay, every single time after like four or five passes, if the shooting lane is not there or the passing lane you're looking for is not there,

It's as simple as Zuccarello should go back to the top.

Quinn Hughes feeds Kirill Kaprizov right in his wheelhouse, and he lets one rip.

But they're not doing that enough.

He should be teeing off on three chances every single power play, and it's like maybe he gets one.

And granted, there's times where on Thursday, I think they looked for it, and then the pass was either maybe a little too hot for him to let rip, or it was in his skates and he had to adjust.

But that...

This this should not be as hard to get, you know, a top 10, 15 player in the league channeling one time chances on the power play.

You're you don't have to make Matt Zuccarello the pass across the slot, the high danger.

It looks flashy.

You have a superstar defenseman running the power play five feet off your right hand shoulder.

Just give him the simple pass there and he'll work it over.

You have to trust him to be able to get it to your best friend for that scoring opportunity.

My, my only question about that is where has that been for your other superstar the past couple of seasons?
