I asked #NYR Mike Sullivan why he took Pavel Dorofeyev off PP1, and then put him back on the unit: Sullivan: “You want to know the answer?” *Me frozen in my tracks with a pause: “Yes.” “Yes? Okay, so I’ve been asking the power play for a number of games now that the first unit—they have to change smarter. And when the puck gets dumped down 2 or 3 times, and they’ve got to go 200 feet to get it and then work back into the offensive zone, they should change — and Pav didn’t. At some point, there needs to be some accountability around it. Unfortunately for Pav, he was the guy. I told the power play guys that, we have to be smart. We've got another unit that's pretty good also. We’ve got some good players on it. And I know Pav is well intentioned and he’s trying to do the right thing out there, but we have to have a sense out there, all of us, when we’re on the power play and when you extend your shifts, usually that’s when bad things happen. You’re tired, you don’t think and execute the same way. A lot of times you can give up goals against in those circumstances because you don’t have the juice to play the game the right way. And we’ve been asking our group for a number of games now to change at the appropriate time. And so, if it falls on deaf ears, then you have to take other measures.”
