10 minute 4th line vs the 3-5 we saw this year is a big difference as well.. A young player stepping in between players like Stalberg and Pyatt as an example have the support around them to really evaluate them and to allow them to grow. If I am that player. I desperately want the 10 minute NHL shifts on the 3rd or 4th line.
That's true. Rolling all 4 lines and getting good ice and linemates definitely changes things.
Of course, the problem is in a tight game, or down by a goal in the third period, you know most coaches will shorten the bench.
