- so while the Laughton line is obviously being used as a checking line, it's not being used like a Keefe Kampf line. It's actually the Matthews line that is doing the heavy lifting defensively. the laughton line is being used as just a normal bottom-6 checking line, while the Robertson line is being used a similar amount as a bottom-6 offensive line.

- also we've been leading for most of the time so far, so that would tend to increase the Laughton line's usage and decrease the Robertson line's usage. In games we trail more, you'd expect more ice time for the offensive line.

- Tavares line getting very cushy offensive usage. Which is probably the right call.

- defense is as expected, though maybe the 3rd pair getting so much ice time is a bit of a surprise. though the blowout game 1 boosts their ice time there.


I've never ignored anyone on any forum anywhere before but that face that is your avatar is pushing me dangerously close to it just so I don't have to see the oddball fucker.

Jesus man, it's not funny anymore, if it ever was.


I'm joking, kinda, sorta.
 
Aside from media "traditions," prob'ly 'cuz they're playing like kids who can play a little hockey, but are being outplayed by guys who actually know what they're doing. . .in spite of coaching histories.
 
Believe OEL's always had a little snarl; just doesn't wear it on his sleeve all the goddam time. Love seeing him on the team.
 
You don't hit special needs between the eyes
I mean Green is handling the media well, as is Tkachuk - and they've got 2 games at home to try and even the series.

But if you want to expose your players to a real playoff experience, they need to understand the unreasonable expectations of fans and media every second of every day IMO.
 
I need more than 1.5ppg in all of the heavies with a 100% GF, thanks.
