Explain how potentially having a good line that can contribute as energy and shutdown line can have tactical or strategic value? Well, for a start shutting down or minimising the other teams star player’s impact is pretty important. As is the flexibility it gives for line matching when you have two lines that can potentially do that. It also means they wouldn’t need to lean quite so hard on Horvat for shutdown duty which should hopefully allow him to play fewer minutes but with more energy and overall effectiveness.Explain how.
I mean, this is just punditry. Like sure, blah blah is blah blah when blah blah. It doesn't mean there is any actual value here. The overwhelming likelihood is that there isn't.
Doesn't make his punditry of any use.
It was an observation on what had transpired so far this season, not a definitive conclusion on them as players or even as a line. Their job is to commentate on the play of the team.
it seems to me you are being grossly unfair for a media member whose audience is general.
