Sounding like Neal will be in, guess we won't know until the lines come out. But I hope he is. Not only is he a better finisher that Chiasson so it should help the PP as Chiasson has been set up numberous times on golden chances. He will bring energy to the team. He's supposedly one of the more vocal guys in the room, on the bench and on the ice. Plus he will be excited to get into the line up finally after his battle with Covid.
|
Neal is no world beater but I hope he can take Chiasson's spot. I am mystified how he got it and even more so how he is keeping it.
Neal is also left handed VS right for Chiasson. Could change the dynamic.
|
To be fair to Chiasson, he has been a pretty effective scorer in that spot the last two years. Similar to Letestu the one season, it has seemed to click there. It isn't this year so far and he's missed a couple of ones that should have been easy goals.
The Oilers have a really low shooting percentage on the powerplay though so far. I do think SOME of the issues is just a small sample size and luck this far.
|
Chiasson did a fine job the last 2 years. I think having a bigger body as a net front presence is important on a PP. It was supposed to be Lucic's job, he couldn't do it so Chiasson got the job.. Once Neal came, he got the job because he's just a better finisher overall. Chiasson has 92 goals career goals, Neal has 289. I think if Neal was available, he would have finished a few of those chances on the PP that Chiasson got and people wouldn't be talking about the PP.
|
Fine job sure but I dont think he added directly to PP success. He has been pretty bad this year. My fuse seems to be shorter for guys who arent performing. Not sure if it is the wasting of McD and Drai's prime years, the long layoff or the fact that you can get in a hole on a short season. Likely a mix of all three.
I just think that if a guy is actually good and in a funk, that happens. When a player is just filling a spot and doing poorly someone else needs to be given a shot.
