Way Way Way Way to much of the 3rd and 4th lines in the final 10 minutes of this game.
I love Sutter but there comes a time where the benches have to be shortened. We were not getting a goal from the 3rd and 4th lines.
agreed. i was reading on LAKI today Sutter's comments about games 1 and 2, how he was keeping TOI equal across all four lines. how he didn't think if OT went longer in the game 1 if they would have the legs.
my guess is he is protecting and resting guys tonight. LA still has home ice at this point, so they can afford one loss.
LA looked flat all night.
ANH out hustled them all night. Boudreau's line up adjustments worked well, especially fistric out and Vatenen in at D. ANH played a solid structure all night also, tight 5 man unit with an aggressive forecheck and tight backcheck. Ducks played a solid game tonight, better team won tonight
