would like to see baptiste get a shot with reinhart, but erod looks good even if that is his wrong wing. - jcragcrumple
it's tough to figure out what Housley's gonna do up front...I did the "building series" knowing full well that the only sureties were O'reilly/Okposo and Eichel/kane...that's it

I'd rather see Erod have that 4th line spot. Pommer can do what moulson did on the powerplay, and the 5-on-5 speed is more important imo
At the same time, Gorges and Moulson would both be sitting in the press box while "earning" a combined $9m

It's not a new rule
They just never call it in the regular season.
They might have tightened up because usually when the center gets tossed the linesmen just gets the puck down as quick as possible when the new center comes in because the last thing they want is to call a penalty for that. - Stripes77
Yeah, but you know as well as I do that they give the 2nd guy a lot of leeway and/or drop the puck before he even has the chance to (frank) up.
It's just a new emphasis on delay tactics like now you apparently can't call a timeout after an icing. They're trying to appear that they want to increase scoring by doing this stuff.
What they should really do is start calling delay of game on coaches like Babcock who take forever to put their line out there and pull other shenanigans to stall for time.
