The problem with the hockey shift is you either never have your best 5 players on the floor together as in your example above or you're taking all 5 of your best players out of the game at the same time which also isn't ideal.Is it unreasonable to think BU could utilize a hockey shift? Would that not be the best way to approach the season with arguably the best depth in the league? Maximum effort for short durations...
Team 1: Boswell, Riley, White, Booth, Ivisic
Team 2: Kasparas, DGL, Humrichous, Rodgers, Morez
Understand that my ideal starting group isn't just team 1. I would want an even distribution of skill on both teams for continuity.
BTW, not that high on Jake Davis. Maybe I'll be surprised but I don't see him getting on the court.
IMO, it's kind of a gimmick saved for very specific situations.
It is exciting that we will have starter caliber players coming off the bench though.
