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...

A coach who ices less than his best team during the playoffs should be fired. A GM who asks his coach to do that should be fired.
There is zero chance this happens.
