The 4th line having the most TOI is like Keefe gifting the game to Boston, they are playing 4th line good/excellent.

There can't be anything wrong with Matthews setting up Jarnkrok/Bunting, instead of giving Matthews linemates that can get him the puck, could there be?

I agree with you on Matthews' line, that isn't going to get it done.  But Keefe was stress-testing the 4th line, and they passed with flying colors.  He's settled that line.  Now that last 4 games are about finalizing the top 3 lines / resting guys / praying that there are no injuries.
 
Yeah, if I'm Keefe I'm not pushing Boston too hard, and I'm certainly not showing any cards in terms of matchups.

Gamesmanship and all that.

Who got the penalty :)

Punch to the head no call. Tell you one thing I would never be able to play. Lose it on opposition or the refs absolutely brutal.

I expect O'Rielly to play on the 2nd line, what we saw tonite might be what we see in the playoffs, I don't think the 3rd or 4th lines are settled, 2 or 3 good games by a 4th line is better than none but 4th lines settled or not doesn't amount to much.

4th line is a done deal. Kampf, Lafferty, ZAR.
