Give me a good reason why the top 4 D is not McD-Klein, Staal-Clendening. go head. I'll wait.
There is no good reason. Even if it were true (which I don't think it is) all the RD beyond Klein were 3rd pair quality, how in the world does it make any sense to play a LD who is also 3rd pair quality on the RD top pair?
I feel bad for Holden too, AV is out of his mind.
Is it really any wonder why this guy has not won a cup, he is a good coach but he makes these smaller, obvious terrible choices that always leave the team with larger problems than it needs to have.
Rangers had a good 4th line, let's ruin that with Glass, Paille, Stoll, Oh that did not work well? Let's fix that, with much resistance, then rejoice that it was not very hard to fix to begin with, and then let's mess up the D to make it worse than the roster allows for.
I know this roster is not the best thing here, but holly **** it's not that difficult to play what they have more optimally than they are. Same as it was not that difficult to fix the 4th line regardless of how difficult they made the process.
