This not showing up in the first, being down, then outplaying the opposition in period 2 and 3 but still losing is getting a bit old. Time to shake things up a bit I think as we've essentially tried the same thing for the last 3 games with identical results.
Would sitting Lucic and Ryan, throwing Bennett back to center on the 4th line and bringing up Rinaldo and Robinson be the worst thing ever?
Tkachuk-Lindholm-Dube
Gaudreau-Monahan-Simon
Mangiapane-Backlund-Leivo
Rinaldo-Bennet-Robinson
Or maybe switch out Robinson for Leivo? Leivo has the same number of goals and one more assist vs Robinson. I think with Robinson, he knows the opportunity may not come again, and the complete level is going to be high, he'll probably at least hit someone....
