Every game that passes i feel less and less feels about this match up.

What has Shaw done that warrants him continuing to get 2nd line minutes?

Not be at the point when a shorthanded goal is given up.

Richards was back on the 4th line by the 2nd period last game. Not a surprise.

Am surprised about Seabrooks demotion for the dumb penalty though.

Shaw's complete uselessness on both ends has almost definitely produced a worse net result than Richards' play, which has been pretty damn good for several weeks now.

Not that anyone's surprised that Quenneville is blind to this.

I still think that Q has an account here and just likes trolling us.

Troll Lord Q doing his thing.

So take him off the PP. There's no reason to punish him at ES where he has been far superior to Shaw for games now.
