Well yeah...especially when your top 3 centres all play on the same line!
"The strength of our team is the one line that can score. If we need goals it has been proven that they are the only ones who can score them, so we need them on the ice all of the time. This is my brilliant plan. It is not at all exactly the same as McLellan's plan. Only visually better.
