Yeah. While it's probably an inconsequential move, it's one I don't really understand, either. I'd rather have the extra centre in the lineup.
If the Leafs were deadset on putting Kozun in the line-up I'm glad it was Smith sitting as opposed to Panik. We'll see how Winnik does in the middle, although I would think he's better on the wing.

Gotta disagree. Almost the entire period has been played in the Leafs' zone. That's bad, regardless of the score. Leafs were absolutely dominated 5 on 5 that period.

At this rate, it probably doesn't end well tonight.
Potvin29 said:Think Detroit is a good example of how a coach can teach a team to make plays with the puck/hold onto the puck. Their role players even play that way. Doesn't really matter who they bring in or bring up they all tend to be able to play that way or learn to play that way. I think that points to a large degree to coaching (and obviously management has to identify players to play the system too). But it can't just be coincidence that year after year they have new players able to do it besides Zetterberg/Datsyuk.
