Lightning should play Slater Koekkoek over Matt Carle on defense

After getting benched in Game 6, it's time for Matt Carle to take a shift serving popcorn in the press box.

Lightning defenseman Matt Carle did not have the greatest game in Game 6 at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He totaled just over five minutes of time on ice with his last shift ending 7:40 into the 2nd period. That shift also ended in the Penguins second goal of the game, scored by Kris Letang.

Looking back at the goal, at first I didn't think Carle had done anything wrong.
