Nah...it wasn't over my head then, and it's certainly not now.
I just found it ironic is all.
Sorry I'm not tracking all your posts on the matter but I do recall you being adamant about how Romanov can't be trusted because he's young and destined to make game-killing mistakes like Dermott and Sandin did.
But now you're seeing 2 veteran Dmen making the same mistakes and you've come to the conclusion that Romanov would be better served playing this series.
Again...I just find this about-face ironic is all.
Do YOU understand that age has NOTHING to do with anything now?
Veterans make mistakes just like young players do.
Merrill was awful against thr Knights too, difference is, and for this part I AGREE WITH YOU, the opponent is much different and they make you pay for every mistake.
Gustafsson is diff for me because I get why he was in the lineup...but Merrill has been awful since day 1 and he's a turnover machine.
Inserting Romanov in game 4 down 3-0 accomplishes what at this point?
Wasted opportunity here all for the sake of "vetetanism".
A theory you were a big proponent of not too long ago but somehow, things have changed now.
Either way...I hope YOU understand now. If not, I'm more than happy to go revisit those posts so you can have a reminder of what you said back then. You weren't talking about different matchups requiring adjustments, you were adamant that Romanov's inexperience made him more prone to errors and they the Habs couldn't afford it in the playoffs.
I wanted to insert Romanov and Kulak after game 1 bud
