Yeah, the idea that you want to just "safely" fill 10 minutes of icetime while the big guns rest, or alternatively even just have some hits wear the other team down for 10 minutes, that's a bit of a cop-out to me. It's a holdover from the days of enforcers when you sort of needed a lineup excuse to house a player who wasn't there to play hockey. And then with our team which lacks a superstar up front, we really need bona fide contributions from all 4 lines, we shouldn't be just trying to "kill time". (And it sure hasn't been working very well so far either, definitely not "safe" with the goals against that line in early games).
