Sorry, don't know how to line up the columns better (duh); i don't know how to copy paste excel files well at all.
Also, this is just even strength, so, depending on which game had more penalties would affect es ice time obviously. Anyways, I think we can see already a smaller ES ice time difference between lines than compared to last year. Bozak/Kessel/jvr had 18/17.5/17.5 minutes ES last year and then ES TOI drops down to 13 minutes or less for remaining players and lines.
This year, much different TOI:
Bozak with over 16 minutes and 6 players with more than 13 minutes and a little difference between 1st and 2nd line - whomever we designate as the first line.
