...and never have anyone whose last name ends in "-man" in the lineup. Completely useless.
Wow, what concept. Ice the best D team possible even at the expense of some expensive wingers. Why didn't I ever think of that.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 10:40 am Cuz:
I think Sauce had some tough moments, but the 4 big doods made it up by bringing the physicality. He especially got under the skin of the Evader and frustrated him the rest of the night with that legal hit.
After a decade of backend futility, it's been fun to see what having 6 legitimate NHL dmen with solid depth actually looks like. Having coaching, a system and health has really calmed the ones with chaotic reputations and given minor league depth a chance to step up and improve their games. This development is very reassuring going into the playoffs.
That's why some of us looked at the economics of the upcoming seasons. You don't want to be going back to a shambolic defensive group if you plan on competing.
Seriously who's not enjoyed watching our D play? And we want to risk backward steps. The kids are at least 2-3 years away from playing any meaningful minutes for us. The key will not only be bringing players back at the right cap but at the right term. That may prove harder.
