I guess I just don't understand the point of Carlyle taking that gamble. It was a pre-season game.........the points don't count towards anything. When you see one of the biggest goons in the league on the ice right after a scrap I don't think that was the right time to gamble that nothing was going to happen to your best forward. Put out some minor league scrubs or 4th liners, whatever. But to gamble with your best forward? I just don't see the point in taking that risk. It obviously didn't pay off.
