The accountability era?
Great post, thanks.
Apparently Hayden played mostly RW at Yale. Schmaltz just can't be trusted at the dot at this point, and he did his best work with Toews. I wouldn't mind seeing:
Schmaltz-Toews-Panik
Panarin-Anisimov-Kane
Hartman-Kero-Hossa
Jurco-Kruger-Hayden
A 4th line like this could wreak some serious havoc. Kruger stays defensively minded as always, opening up Jurco and Hayden to lay down punishing hits and the occasional offensive outbursts.
Jurco and punishing hits? OKAY. Q will play Desi over him in PO's. Book it.
Again if Q plans to play Hayden in bottom 6 at crunch time he needs to play him there for a stint to wind down the season.
As for Kero: My eye test states that he may need a rest.... his game seems sluggish lately.
It's looking more and more like Hino will not be re-called, and that's a mistake in my mind.
