I'm saying if Russell is day-to-day with injuries (like he currently is -- he was scratched versus Chicago with a lower body injury) -- for example:

Round 1 - Stars win series 4-1, Russell only plays in 2 games due to injury
Round 2 - Stars up 3-1, Russell again only plays in 2 games due to injury

Do you play Russell in Game 5? If Dallas wins, Russell plays in 5 out of 10 games and the Stars lose their first rounder. Or, do you take the chance you can win without dressing him, up 3-1 in the series?

Might be somewhat farfetched, but it could happen...
