You insinuated that I couldn't be correct because I don't have coaching credentials or whatever it is that he has.
I, the casual fan am still searching for an answer why in the last 5 minutes of pretty much the most important period of this season when down by 2 goals we end up with Glass and Shore on the ice.
Johnny was gassed so maybe l poor ice time management of one player. But whatever, it happens. But what about the other 9 players?
It is indefensible IMO.

All very fair points.
Some of your questions were addressed by him though...apparently those answers were not good enough for some. Again, that's fine but it behooves me how some dismiss those just because it doesn't fit a particular view or narrative. You are arguing with someone who has actually been there and done that.
The ice time thing is one of them. The bench was shortened as time started becoming a factor, but you cant play 2 lines for an entire period without absolutely putting those players at great risk for injury.
Everyone is frustrated at the lack of success this team is incurring and calls for changes aren't just going to be heard, they will be acted upon at some point. Right now though, the coach only has the players he has been given to work with, that much is undeniable.
Again, everyone is frustrated watching this season go down the crapper. That should not preclude level headed discussion and explanation as to why though. At least IMO. Yet it is just viotrol and hyperbole and outright BS through a vast majority of the threads that makes it impossible to really have any true discussion/explanation.
I guess I am ranting now too. Heh.
Anyways, it's all good. You have every right to believe what you wish, as everyone does.
