1 Key Matchup - Rick Nash vs Eric Johnson

[doakacola*]

Does Ron Wilson have the smarts to make sure with the last change he tries to put out Eric Johnson against Rick Nash as much as possible? With four lines playing almost equally it can be tough to do, but if I'm Wilson I try to get E. johnson out there against Nash as much as I can.

I would use Johnson against the Getzlaf line rather than the Nash one. That line has been tearing it up.

I see the Gleason pairing playing against Crosby again. They did a good job last time. Johnson could see double-duty against Getzlaf and Nash's line.

Gleason is a LDman, while E. Johnson is a Rdman. Nash is a LW. I can live with other
matchups, I want Johnson against Nash as much as possible.

Nash is playing RW.

to many good players for it to come down to just one player matchup

I said one key match-up, not the only key match-up.

Think the 1990 SCF B's-Oilers, Steve Smith shutdown Cam Neely and the favored team lost in 5.
