It's not that crazy though, is it? 80 seconds average is 2 shifts across an entire game.
Can 2 shifts really make a huge impact on Wins and Losses? Backlund is a bit better than the average 3rd line C across the league, so it seems reasonable our "3rd line" would take a few seconds from Lindholm's line, especially given Toffoli is a bit worse than the average 1st Line RW, no?
