Personally, I like "hubris", but that's prolly to highbrow.
My guess is that he really likes how the 4th line looks in practices? Dunno.

I have no other explanation as to why he keeps on starting them at home. Against AZ I thought maybe he wanted Hathaway to set the tone vs Domi, but against the Oilers? No excuse whatsoever.

Last year he'd start our most powerful 5-man combo in Gio/Dougie + 3M right away to set the tone, so I don't even know what the heck he's doing this season. Completely out to lunch in terms of home starting lineups, we're sitting on a paltry 7-7-0 in the Dome and the lack of line matching has something to do with it.
