So what does he do?

You know what?

Slavkovsky's battling.

He's fighting.

He's trying.

He's picking up the puck.

He's trying to be a difference maker.

He's entering the offensive zone with the puck.

He's trying to take it to the inside.

Yeah.

Everyone talks about balancing the second line, balancing the lines, and sometimes sending Slavkovsky down to play with Demidov.

What if you sent Caulfield down and you put Demidov up?

And no one thought this series was going to end at four either.

One of the things I'm thinking about as well is, and I'm not just thinking here punishment, I'm thinking of trying to create a matchup that could be more favorable as well.

Like, if you end up taking...

a guy like Cole or a guy like Demidov, and at one point you end up slotting him on a third line, for example.

Let's call it a quote-unquote third line.

Now you're going up against maybe another team's third line or their third pairing.

Now, having said that, that's probably not happening on the road, but it will happen when you get back home.

You can dictate the matchups at that point.
