This line matching thing isn't an issue...until it is. We're fortunate it didn't bite us in 09 when Sid was totally neutered by Babcock's matchups, just like last year. So it's generally overblown, but you need to have the ability to acquire breathing room for your stars, even if it's only for a little while.
I'll take a lack of continuity over the junky crap we've seen too often from sid's line once things get real.

I don't have a strong opinion on DB, but I tend to agree with this.

You use an example that goes against your argument. I know you know this, but line matching isn't necessarily a defensive tactic.
no name wrote:As far as i can see in 09 we played a much more defensive style and won the cup. Heck we beat Detroit matching the style that Detroit played. It worked we had a much different line up then also. You might even say it was a weaker line up than the one we have now. We had defensive dmen who didn't jump up in the play at will.
WHat happened?? What could of changed. Dan implimented his own style and got a way from what Therian tought. See Detroit and Threians systems are based on chances. If you have a bad team who plays a defensive style they can win they just have to capitalize on a the 10 good chances you get a night. If you have a good skilled team playing a defensive style they can capitalize on more of thoes 10 opportunities.
As much as we see a left wing lock system or some sort of defensive style. It doesn't help when your players play it with a run and gun attitude. That s kinda of mentality the players have comes from the coach, THerians players understand its a defence first system. And when your coach says we want to play the entire game in our offensive zone and get out of the defensive zone as fast as we can, its no wonder why our player think its an offensive system.
Dan just needs to get back to 09 hockey.

I think his overall point is that other teams should have to "match" our superior firepower and that line matching is a strategy employed by teams who need to make up for having less talent.....I think. I like your point thought and I am interested in his response

His first ideas are usually wrong, and he's really stubborn. But other than that, he IS learning. Gibbons got dropped off the first line after his awful shift. Despres moved up in the rotation (I know Bot was hurt) and was out there when the team was trying to tie it up. Maybe he'll figure its a good idea to have Engelland on the 4th line as 7th dman insurance after this game?
