Just wanted to add an extra 'And how!" to Walt's comment. The CC power
play has to be seen to be believed. The puck movement is incredible. When
CC was in Minnesota last month, during the MN penalty kills, the Gophers
(a pretty good penalty killing squad, 2nd in the league at 85%) were
consistantly two passes behind the CC players.
 
On the Final Five weekend, CC was an astonishing 7 for 11 with the man
advantage. All three goals on Friday vs MTU were power play goals.
