It's the problem with hard line matching against the Oilers.
We trashed Sutter for not linematching 97 and 29 in our series against them but it shows why it's a difficult task.
When trailing 97 and 29 will play about 60% of the period.
So now you're worried about putting your 4th line out because you don't want them out against the Oilers top line
Now Hiller is still stupid because he shouldn't have shortened the bench to 8 forwards, but it's the tough part when you're playing the Oilers who just spam the same two guys over and over.
