Lot's of positives out of this game, the biggest being of course winning without McDavid in the manner we did. However, even when he's back can we please practise our powerplays without him. I know we scored on the 5 on 3, but for the rest of the time it was shocking, it needs sorting out just in case the worse happens in the play-off's.

Fair point. A powerplay that consists of 97 buzzing around the zone and team mates wondering what is going to go down is impressive, but not a sustainable system for 4 rounds in my opinion. Some teams have easily turned this powerplay into a momentum killer this season as he unsuccessfully tries undressing 3 defenders.
Don’t get me wrong. 97 buzzing around when the goalie is pulled and the opponent is turding itself is a great weapon. But when he’s not doing that, the powerplay is very static with very little unpredictability. Always hoping for the cross ice to Draisaitl. I would prefer more structure and movement, with 97 undressing an opponent when in the danger zone around the net. Hard to complain about some of the impressive goals they have scored on the PP, but it could use another or two.
