Injuries play a big part in the equation!
yes, that has made desjardin's decisions more difficult, lots of changes in the lines, they win 'becAuse'
of the lines he chooses, eg. the decisions to put out that line with vrbata on defense, brilliAnt,
they controlled the puck for a long time, resulting in a goal, and vrbata was very busy on that shift,
passing with the rest of the forwards.
yes jlm he can change lines any way he decides because he makes good decisions on the fly or between games,
and he also has to deal with players coming in and going out of the lineup.
that is his job, players who are going good in a game will get more ice time over a player not going so
good, and his lines are very balanced, all four lines, and the sedins will benefit from that because
their ice time isn't 'too' much.
kassian watched the game from the press box last night, wonder what he thinks up there, i'm sure they showed him the tape of all of his turnovers game before, he is fine packing the puck into offensive end, but
trying to make that pass out of his own end can be very scary. to me, he seems too 'tight', afraid of
making a mistake, thinking too much, when he learns to relax and just play like he can 'without pressure'
then he will stay in the lineup, he is still young, has lots of upside, hope he can find his game more
consistently, because when he does play a good game, we can see his value to the team.
