So rather than putting out glass and brouwer (I thought glass did well in his role), put out four lines that can score. The reason that Hathaways line did well is because the oilers have nothing past the second line. So let them neutralize our first and then bring waves. I don't know what we are scared of? Where are all these liberties everyone is taking that were prevented by Glass and Brouwer last night? The second half to that is find ways to agitate McDavid. Get under his skin, give him an extra shove, an extra face wash. To me a line up including Janko, Jagr, Lazar, Kulak would be far more effective than Brouwer, Stajan, Glass and Bartkowski.
Good luck agitating McDavid without guys like Glass in the lineup.
