It's funny, 'cause you always hear fans are stupid and they don't know what they're talking about. So Sullivan makes moves that most of us have been talking about over the last week and boom, they get a win while looking competent in all 3 zones.
I understand they're trying to help Hunwick find his game. What I don't understand is playing 3 lines because you don't have faith in the players on the 4th line. I especially don't understand this whenever Sullivan/JR's philosophy has been 4 scoring lines.

It's hard to fault them for not thinking what we do when we do. I mean, can you blame them? Have you seen the idiotic ideas that ALL OF US have spewed on here at one time or another? LOL These guys are pros and know things we don't. They need to let things play out to their satisfaction.
Hunwick is a player they've financially invested and a player they believe(d) in. Looking at this from the perspective of the coaching staff/management, they need to really give a player like Hunwick a good solid chance.
Clearly they're coming around now, but don't be shocked that even if Ruhwedel outperforms Hunwick that he won't be slotted back into the lineup to see how he's "responded" to being scratched.
If I'm a betting man, Hunwick gets bought out next year if they can't trade him unless a cap-floor team wants him.
