personally i think it's more about changing things up than anything else. the offense has dried up for a while now, moving folks around as attempt to ignite things a bit seams reasonable.
i'm excited to see that 4th line and hope they get some real minutes tonight.
I hate to admit this, but i think the flames playoff hopes are a pipe dream without their best player and season MVP. It actually will make the final stretch a bit easier on the blood pressure, as win or lose, either result is a positive for the franchise's progression.
