Dom,

Agree with you, but I would take it one step further and keep Redden on the bench even when he is 100%. Sides goes back in and you sit Hamilton, but I would ride Bart and Krug until they start to cool off.

What about Jokinen and Bennett, you ask? They played 10-12 mins tonight. So when we play these guys, DB feels confident enough in his lines that he rolls all 4. As a consequence, each of our other lines are rested and ready to rock when they jump on the ice. This is how you use depth, and it's such a no-brainer given the Pens style -- we like to skate fast, get the puck deep, and either do skill **** to score goals or grind *****es down and score goals. And if each and every line is bringing it like that, and they're all relatively fresh and able to skate at top-speed, our offense is (as we saw tonight) a juggernaut to behold.

I'd rather we have gotten Iggy, but I prefer having Bartkowski and Khokhlachev.

Are you honestly not understanding what I have been saying? Or are you just purposely being obtuse? If a team puts up 50 shots and gets shut out, yeah it sucks, and it doesn't mean much. But it does mean something. It means they had a lot of zone time, and were able to get a lot of shots to the net. While it sucks they got shut out, chances are if they continue to get 50 shots on net, they will start scoring goals, and more than likely start winning. The same goes for individual players. A player isn't scoring but getting a ton of shots is a better problem to have than a player not scoring and not getting shots at all. The former is much more likely to get out of his funk and back to his scoring ways. The latter needs to make a significant change to his game.

As we've seen, the league likes to discipline more the result than the action.

Part of me enjoys watching Anderson get lit up.
