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?

If they did give McMichael a shot, he needs to play in the top 6. He just isn't a bottom 6 player. And like you said, bump Vrana or Kuzy.

There may be an injury at that point. Could move dowd to the wing as well.

Well that was a nice piece of tape I watched! Line changes definitely sparked them. They pretty much dominated from the 2nd period on.. Nice that the PP clicked, but playing in the other end of the ice is what spawns those opportunities.

My bad, I meant Leason or Sutter REPLACING Sheary, or Keller, or Spooge, or Panik.
At this point, being <22, 6'4, 225+ fighting for a spot, will provide something overpaid, smaller, weaker & lazier vets wont or cant.
And yes, Im sure some of the organization doesn't think theyre ready, & this seasons 2-way/taxi squad call-up is half a mystery, but right now a lot of the "vets" dont look like theyre ready either
