Needed adjustments. Needed a spark.
Vladar in game 4 imo. And Ruzicka injected into the 3rd line. Until the first Jarnkrok goal, the third line was totally inept.
You need contributions from everywhere to succeed.
I would've even put Toffoli with Gaudreau in game 4-5. If Tkachuk's hand was rendering him less effective, why not then try to spark the goal scorer you brought in?
Just don't know why Sutter tethered himself to the same plan when parts were broken and/or not working.
Didn't make the rookie ventriloquist doll adjust to anything.
Frustrating.
