I'm not sure how much juggling the lines changed things. We created most of our offense on the PP.
At even strength most of our chances came off shots from the point. It wasn't like one particular line gelled very well. All 4 lines were decent the last 2 periods.

And who gets bumped? Dowd?

Funny but true. Bad thing is that Holtby is in a worse situation in Vancouver than he was here. That team sucks defensively.

Maybe so. Not trying to be argumentative but
Weren’t three of the goals PPG? So not sure how much line juggling translates in PP goals but they certainly seemed to pick up their play in the second half of the game.
Moving Panik to Backy’s line is a waste of Backy’s passing...cause stone hands Panik struggles to bury the puck. He has certainly worked harder this year and it shows but it doesn’t change he will never be a touch guy.
If you have guys underperforming (ahem...Kuzy, Vranna) then sit them for 2-3 games and let McMichael and others have a shot (on a scoring line)
Bringing young guns up to get ice time on the fourth lines never interested me....let them play their game.
We HAVE some very hard working and effective 3/4 line guys.
Anyway...not really knocking mixing up the lines but did any of those lines actually produce a goal?

Sheary already has a spot. Not sure if the other guys are ready. Our forward prospects don't look very good.
