Oliwa played literally ONE second of shorthanded time in 19 playoff games.

He leaned on Calgary's top 4 HEAVILY, Calgary's top 4 d all played over 24 minutes a night. To give you an idea on how much that is, Regehr was playing just 30 seconds shy of what Brodie averaged per game in 14/15. Engelland was playing 4 minutes less per game than Warrener did for the Flames in 04.

Suffice to say that your nostalgia is wonderful, but the places sutter found for guys who couldn't play was on the friggin' bench.
And I look forward to the day that Gulutzan learns that little coaching trick.
