Yeah, I disagree with this. You're leading by a goal, and you know you're going to be facing McDavid and Draisaitl,

Foo is probably the last guy I want on the ice in that situation.

This isn't a video game.

In this case, putting players with better defensive awareness was the proper coaching decision.

Putting Foo on the ice, who's not fully up to speed with NHL defensive responsibilities would be silly.
