I respectfully suggest that you should roll four lines with a four goal lead and even when that lead gets whittled down to two goals.
I didn't see any egregiously poor play from anyone. No passengers please.

Yeah he and Connolly are about a toss up for being worthless on D. Thioudh Connelly has more hockey IQ and instinct, he sure doesn’t use it for D.

On most teams I would completely agree.
However we have/had weak defensive players on 2 lines, and two on one line.

But you risk making the strong lines weak by giving them too many minutes and tiring them out. Otherwise we could just play two defenseman the entire game.

And it’s about goddamn time after 10 years.
As far as him being in the ice at the end like that . . . Eeehhhhh, it was risky. Granted it’s better than putting Bura out there.

In order for Ovie to get some respect in the league he needs to do more than one timers on the power play. It didn't seem that bad. We dominated the third period with the exception of the first five or ten minutes. There wasn't much concern.
