In the playoffs it would be a lot like Anaheim in 07 with their big 3 each getting 29-30 minutes per game and the rest being split up amongst the bottom pairing guys. I'm also comfortable with Gorges playing 25 minutes in a post-season situation, he just lays it all on the line.
Having big game defenseman who can log that many minutes and be effective is so under rated it's unbelievable, it's crucial to winning games especially in the post season. It's one of the reasons Vancouver faltered, their defense corps, for all it's depth, didn't have ONE guy at the level of Subban or Markov.

Edler is getting pretty close. Agree completely with the rest.
