3. Moving Marleau on to Bozak's line late. Despite Bozak's line playing very well, Babcock actually seemed still more concerned with the danger of Bozak's line getting caught out and being stuck in a mismatch, so he actually gave them some defensive help in the form of Marleau. I'm on board with this. As bad as Hyman looked trying to clear the puck on that shift, it's something we see from JVR a lot, Mitch gets into trouble when he starts trying to do much and abandoning his assignment, and I'm very scared of Bozak trying to cover either of the big two. For me it's a solid decision.
4. Replacing Marleau with Moore on Kadri's line. Someone had to fill the role, and there were three possible choices - JVR, Nylander, or Moore. In this case Babcock went with the "trusty veteran". It's kind of funny/ironic that Babcock gets accused of loving his veterans, because it was three 2nd year players tasked with stopping Crosby, and that trusty veteran was actually replacing another veteran (JVR), not a young player. In any event, I don't have a particular preference for who would have been the best of the three to take this role, but I felt Moore did fine once he was on the line.
