SuperMatt has already set it out compellingly but the Flames don't have one or two lines of star players that you want playing over 20 minutes a night. We should be rolling 4 solid two-way lines that can contribute offense. Our only strength as a team is offensive depth...and potentially goaltending.
Nothing against Beecher. He's alright. It's just the tired unimaginative thinking of needing a big heavy 4th line that takes up a few minutes and isn't a liability.
That said, the 4th line has been good tonight and the Flames have had a really solid night especially considering the schedule.
