Yesterday afternoon, there was a lively discussion regarding Luke Glendening and Drew Miller and their roles on the Detroit Red Wings. Many fans have been calling for the heads of the 4th line as they have been victimized in three of the past four late game collapses. Despite their struggles at 5-on-5, many pundits have suggested that we need to think about "roles" and how Glendening and Miller excel on the penalty kill. The Wings penalty kill is operating at 83.5%, good for 7th best in the NHL.
