TBL: TEAM OF THE CENTURY
Faster doesn't mean anything if they're ineffective, our 4th line has been excellent in every single run. JBB definitely taking a a gamble here because there's not much he can do to help the top6.
I think you're both right. While they weren't a problem and did the job, it's also time to get faster. They weren't going to get any faster and maybe the wheels were going to come off this year (or not) and JBB thought it's finally time. I also agree that Brisebois probably saw Maroon as a guy Cooper is not going to have ride the pine a majority of the season, even if his play warranted it. Maroon is still very good along the boards and was probably the most effective with two speedy players but given the makeup of our team, found himself stapled next to two guys marginally faster.They have been very good, but how long do we keep running a 35+ year old 4th line? We all knew it was time to re-tool the roster. Probably should have been done after the loss to Colorado, but we were riding the high of 3 deep runs.
I really hope we are looking at a middle 6 winger.
