I suppose it works if you have pairs that are both actually producing. Or have a 3rd that still compliments them in some way.

The pairs method does not mean that you can just throw some scrub out there with them - you still need a player that contributes to the line in some way. Two guys against 3 are not going to be effective.
People criticized him for putting Bennett there. But Bennett is better than either of these guys. And Bennett scored on the line, producing more in 3 games than these two have in a calendar year, combined.
