Now perhaps Stajan is playing there simply to give the line some sense of defensive responsibility but as the home team surely Hartley can manage to match lines well enough to get them out there in favorable situations.
Speaking of square pegs and round holes, Bouma's game would be much better suited to playing with two bruisers like Ern and BB than with Backlund and Raymond.

Bouma and Backlund has always played good together. They also played a lot of games together in Abby. So......not really forcing anything there.
