Perhaps they are trying to make the other pairs figure it out. Get better. Learn to adapt for when an injury strikes later. I will be concerned if Barry only goes back to logical pairs down 3-1 to Pitt in round 1.
We are suddenly in a glide to the finish line, where finishing first, more the ever, is not the best path to the cup anyways. It's a fine time to experiment with less than optimal pairs.
The bigger elephant in the room is... why do I hear advanced stats are lacking recently, as we are blowing out teams almost every night. The last 10 games we have scored 49 goals.... ~5 per game. Is this a large enough sample size to analyze here? We held our opposition to 23 and went 8-2. I take those numbers to the bank every day and Sunday and laugh at Corsi as we steamroll all teams to an easy cup.
If Holts is bailing us out every night as we score 5, I am not sure that is a bad thing, since we have one of the better goalies in the league. Barry should be fearless in daring teams to pit their goalie against ours in a run and gun game, right?
I feel like this a great time to analyze advanced stats as they correlate to winning. Score adjusted, not adjusted, whatever stats are out there, maybe start by showing us stats that support us blowing out these teams. Do those stats exist, besides WL and goal diff?
