The line change in this case was more so the coaches but I agree it is on both watch the highlights you can see it. The 6 forwards was with the goalie pulled like the 2-3 min mark.

I don’t think it makes a difference whenever a line change happens when you are in the OHL or any other junior league or higher it’s alwsy on the players hustle on hustle off and stay out of everyone’s way (easier said then done but still.) I actually knew what you were talking about but thought you meant another time in the game I’m fine with it honestly if you are trying to get a goal with the goalie pulled go all out you are losing anyway if it works great if it doesn’t oh well you lost by 3 instead of 2 big whoop but that’s just my opinion I’d probably go 5 forwards one D in that situation

The case with the goal was the player looked to be going off then they tried to make him go back but he had to come off or we would have receiveda too many men penalty. 6 forwards I'm sorry is just nonsense even 5 because there is no forward that can play back in a key situation. If excuses are made for coaches and players then there can't be acountability and that won't result in anything productive.I'm sorry but Thomas and Roberts playing the whole game is not going to win us games the majority of the time. The term being out coached is a term in hockey for a reason and last night was a example of it.

Did they make him go back or did he do what 99.9% of player do see the puck and think oh s*** I should get this cause no one is behind me. It may be nonsensical but in the situation you are talking about the only thing on the coaches and players mind is score anyway possible what would be the kew situation exactly in that scenario? The other team gets the puck and goes for the empty net. You do realize the top line was out just as much as Thomas right if not more what’s problem with the and Roberts was on the top pair top pairs play a lot look at London when Bouchard is there

Well then we can agree to disagree time will dictate all. Also Roberts to Bouchard is a bad example one is a first rounder and the other is a no rounder.

I’m not comparing the two I’m just saying look at his minutes that’s what a first pairing usually does regardless if they aren’t as good as the other teams top pair

I think the potential is there, I just haven't seen the execution yet. At no time have I seen the team play a whole period and felt as if they were dominating it. Lot's of cutsie moves followed by an easy and needless turnover and then lack luster play.
