Wayne Gretzky Eviscerated Power on National TV

[Big Guava]

Gretzky called out Power in the intermission after he failed to clear the puck on Zibanijad's PPG in the 1st...

"I just want to say, guy wins the faceoff, Power has to get the puck out. That's why you're losing. There's no excuse for that puck not getting out. On your strong side. 220 pounds. 6-foot-6. That puck has to get down the ice."

He’s not wrong. This stuff is happening all over the roster. Power just happened to get called on it. 

[Pimlach]

He is a defenseman who is not that good at defense right now.  

[...]

But he has great offensive stats don't you know. He scored last game, even.

[PerreaultForever]

Correct on all fronts. He does have offensive stats but he is horrible defensively. Literally does not seem all that interested in defending at all. Very passive around his own net and very often a spectator. 

[Captain Caveman]

Power is starting to remind me of Ristolainen

Tons of minutes (especially since Dahlin's been out) and way more negative plays than positives.  He's clearly talented, but seems to not know how to play defense.

Oh whatever.

 

Was the puck tipped before he shot it? I heard one of the announcers say that afterward but did not look back at it.
