Hollweg did in fact have a career night against the Flyers. But let's not mistake his offensive miracle (and I call it a miracle as his second goal deflected from his stick to Nittymaki's pad to Jason Smith's face to Nittymaki's helmet and finally into the goal) for anything other than what it is, a miracle. The fourth line is not a shutdown line! We should not mistake a lack of goal scoring for a defensive powerhouse. Betts is phenomenal defensively, but Orr and Hollweg are anything but. While the fourth line has been doing an admiral job against top lines as of late, they are not a shutdown line! If Renney/Sather wanted a true shutdown line, Jed Ortmeyer should still be playing in Hollweg's spot. Given Hollweg's tendency to take untimely penalties, Renney should promote a few of the Hartford guys for a few games. And seeing that our scoring problems have not gone away, we need a fourth line that can produce more than three goals a season. - The Peoples Champ As the Champion of the People, I must give credit where credit is due.

He calls for the benching of Hollweg and he supplies all of the offense against the Flyers. Did he want the team to be shut out? Leave the line out to control the other team's top line.

Leave the line out to control the other team’s top line.

Their offense has to run in full swing . I don't know what sort of change they need but they need to change their non-winning habit. last year this team didn’t have scoring problem but this year even after half the season this team can’t score timely goals.They are still one of the lowest scoring team.I believe Henrik is gonna be better but he won’t be able to steal games every night.
