I blame Wills for mentioning we haven't been scored on at home.

Whichever way works better is fine with me. Both Zohorna and Rooney have experience playing centre and wing. It's nice to have that flexibility.

Rooney looks just fine to me on that line. Backlund makes everyone awesome.

Zadorov and Weegar is an interesting pairing.

Feels like that 3rd line is gaining more chemistry as the game goes along. Rooney may not be your ideal 3rd liner, but he keeps playing like this I have zero problem with that line sticking together.

Who does Backlund not have chemistry with? He's the ditto of hockey players.

I'm shocked at how much I like Rooney on the 3rd line with Backlund and Coleman

Rooney is getting to the right spots but he's not finishing. There's an argument that another player might get to the same spots and also finish.
