If they have a few more games like the Toronto game, he's going to have to change that up.
I think they have to give Phillips a try at that spot.
Move Ritchie down to the 4th line with Ryan, they had good chemistry.
I don't think taking Leivo out for Phillips is going to hurt the toughness or physical play too much. We saw Phillips throw a bigger hit last year than we've ever seen Leivo throw.

What is there to decide. No one is threatened by Ritchie, no one is threatened by Sean, and as a result they can just key in on Johnny. If he tries to push through it he gets plastered to the boards, if he doesn't cretins will accuse him of not being tough and pulling up. At least with a skilled and fellow nippy player they may actually back off the D as they rush.
