In the high-stakes world of ice hockey, a team's success often hinges on the strategic utilization of key players.

A striking comparison between Tampa's '20-22 cup runs and the '22-23 Bruins reveals an intriguing pattern.

Over 71 games, Tampa experienced a mere 67 minutes of 5v5 play without their defensive stalwarts Hedman, Sergachev, or McDonagh, averaging a scant 56 seconds per game.

In contrast, the Bruins, in just 7 games, endured 59 minutes without McAvoy, Lindholm, or Orlov on the ice, amounting to an average of 8.5 minutes per game.

This striking difference underscores the importance of optimal player management.

Critics point out that Jim Montgomery, the Bruins' coach, seemingly failed to capitalize on the blueprint set by Tampa, leading to questions about his ability to harness the team's full potential.
