- 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.
