I've been saying it all season, Boyle and Prust are fourth liners being treated like 3rd liners by this coach.

Last season a ton of posters were saying how they were part of the core and I felt in the minority saying that they were great role players. Last night a shift stood out to me where the Feds - Boyle- Prust line held the puck below the Winnipeg goal line for a good 30 seconds, and did nothing with it. It reminded me exactly of what Betts and Ortmeyer did in their time here, and they were used accordingly on the fourth line.

I don't want the guys gone because they are important pieces of this team, I just want them used the right way.
