I hope Peter is a smart coach and is learning from these playoff games too. I think he should change line ups and his player usage at least a little bit to help to overall team defense. Last night Bennett played less, and Neal was on ice on an important moments. If Bennett and Jankowski played with another player not named Neal and spent at least 2-3 minutes in O-zone, we may won the game. 1st line is completely hammered in own zone, but still getting d-zone starts. Other coach had easy time to send his guys because Flames played same game last 3 games. He knows who is the weak link in our lines and working on it. But Peter didn't.
