Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 2675945, member: 6931"] Of course it's all based on the actual players you have on your roster. But generally, I think it can be an advantage later in the season, when you can always go deeper if you have to, say due to injuries or foul trouble. But it's probably less desirable earlier in the season, when there's a greater need to develop your players. This year I think Geno was always going to go with the starting five plus Azura plus Megan. For whatever reason, the plus Megan part of that did not work out. In hindsight, that's unfortunate, given what happened in Columbus in terms of having to face ND and the officiating. But I don't fault Geno for more or less limiting it to those seven right out of the gate, especially given the drop-off in in skill-level after Megan. That seven is a truly outstanding group, one you would absolutely lean on in a year like this when the idea is to gun hard for a national championship. [/QUOTE]
