You don't think GG knows that his top line is better than his fourth line? By that logic why manage minutes at all. Why don't they just keep the first line out all game? It's the coaches job to manage his bench to have them play at their optimum level. He also has to consider an 82 game schedule. I assume he's in a better position to make that decision than I am.
First of all, you asked the question. Don't just dismiss that shortening the bench is a valid strategy because you don't think it is.

Here's a better question then. What would you feel is a fair criticism for the coach if bench management isn't?
