while i get the sentiment, this would mean that in theory everyone on this AAA team gets equal ice time because they are all good enough to play at this level.
seems stunning to me that if you were in some situation where your season is on the brink and you need a goal to get to tie and extend, that you are going to roll four lines if you have three forwards who each have 50+ points compared to the defensive specialist who perhaps has 7 points thru 60 games.
I like Hollywood endings as much as the next guy, but as a parent I'd be startching my head over that.

I completely agree with his sentiment. Also, to me it smacks of lazy coaching.
