I say we double pole the face-off
Put both Conners and Rock on the wings and leave Conrad in the hole to lock off the alpha attack. After last weeks showing on D, I don't think we can afford not to have both Conners & Rock in the game and perhaps our FO % will improve and one can drop back and the other can get off. Conners played Close D for the bulk of the 4 preseason scrimmages so I wonder if that didn't negatively impact the chemistry when he left. Merle appeared to be serviceable in his runs with the long pole so he can certainly catch a shift or two to give one of those guys a break. Then if we have to play in back, we have Conrad who can be a 1 man clear.
