The problem wasn't in our D50, and moving Charlie would have weakened one of our strengths while doing little to boost our defence.
When Charlie floats back in games, our intent isn't to score, it's to defend a lead. If we move Charlie back sometime in the 2nd-Qtr, we are moving forward with a greatly diminished scoring potential.
If it was to be a shootout, we had to start scoring, we did but it was a Qtr too late!
But when you are giving away a lead at 100mph, your key defender is injured then send him back. Wasn't as if he was having a great day up forward. There was no strength happening forward. He might have stopped a few of those Hogan goals though.
