Nope I love teams. And typically championship teams roll 4 lines. Blues did it last year and the Caps the year before.
The team wins the championships not individual players and the bangers and grinders are as important as the danglers and scorers.
Honestly the grinders become quite important in the tighter checking grind em wear your opponent out PO season.
Just my opinion though.

You can role 4 lines but you better have real skill in your top 6 and the Isles do not have it and the Blues and Caps had it. I like Casey and Martin and Casey had 20 goals during the season and 0 in the playoffs. I just think the Isles 4th line is overrated and they are more a regular season line. When the skill level goes up in the playoffs that line is not the same. The top 6 gets the most ice time and they need to carry the team. The 3rd and 4th lines just do not have the same importance. Isles need to improve the top 6 before they are true contenders.

This is just false, that line shut down the crosby line in the first round and they bring tons of energy and set the tone. They may not have scored in the playoffs but they also didn't hurt the team. Isles should have won first 3 games they just couldn't close and hit posts ect. While they need to add up front the 4th line is solid and shiuldnt be messed with. I think lou will still try to add especially if Dobson makes the team. I agree with 7 on this 100%

I think it was more Pulock and Pelech that Pens series. Isles played very well that series but the Pens were not good. I think it was some Islanders and some the Pens own play. Isles were not good against the Canes at all and a big part was the Canes had a real defense and the Isles offense had no answers.
