2nd PP, why doesn't Lightning use it anymore?

Does 1st PP all-the-time hurt team overall?

  • If other Lightning players got more chances to score on PP, could that help bottom 6 & others confidence.
  • Seems giving 2nd unit PP time would help development, give those players scoring confidence, and could build better locker-room chemistry.
  • Both young-guns looked good in game 6 & 7 after scoring their goals = Amazing what confidence does for goal scoring!!!!
  • Lightning use to play 2 PP units, but it seem since Kucherov is always in Art Ross race yearly. Those PP opportunities for 2nd unit does not happen anymore. PP is now Kucherov most touch puck on every PP.
  • Maybe injecting PP confidence throughout Lightning lineup during regular season might help bottom 6 confidence & moral going into playoffs.
  • With more quality minutes for secondary players: Who knows what overall scoring could be like then? Shoot, Gourde might of had more confidence if he and more opportunities to score easier goals here & there.
  • Some players grind all-the-time on newer version post Cups, while some players are given easier work = This could cause looker room issues.
  • Love Lightning and players, hope staff figures out scoring issues.
