All this constant whining about dressing Jackman and McGrattan over guys who aren't producing reeks of a lack of accountability.

Everyone's favourite "scorers" and "youth" are not doing their job, plain and simple.
Just out of curiosity (not trying to be argumentative I just can't think of any) which teams do you think run with 2 goons and run 3 lines and it works?

Also, if the 3 lines are struggling it would be nice to have a 4th line to throw out there that isn't a complete liability let alone an offensive blackhole. One of the things that have made teams like Chicago Boston and LA so success recently is having 4th lines they can throw out anytime, against any opposition and not being terrified of the results.
