Can one of you guys pick a new avatar? You're always the two breaking things and you both have an avatar with a goalie in it. Confusing

Yeah my first thought was why is Jimmy posting everything twice but differently

lol i noticed when he changed it looked just like mine

dan blackburn w/ the 2 blockers probably needs a change anyway

Would anyone be surprised if McDonagh plays tomorrow night?

wow wow who comes out! Hunwick yeah? Moore's been playing better since after his suspension.

I have been thinking about that and have noticed looking at recent games that AV has been giving Hunwick more icetime overall than he has given John Moore, so maybe that's an indication that it's Hunwick who stays in.

however, McDonagh replaces Hunwick makes the three pairs go back to lefty/righty all the way

McDonagh-Girardi
Staal-Boyle
Moore-Klein

Hunwick playing probably forces Boyle to play the left side. Gonna be interesting to see what AV does

I think Hunwick deserves to stay in, he's been solid, he and Klein could turn out to be a very effective pair

I don't know, Hunwick has been solid but we all came into this season pumped to see our Defensive depth like you have listed above. Due to injuries they haven't had a chance to see it in a game yet. I kind of want to give it a chance.

I'm with you. I think Moore has been playing very well since his little incident. I'd give our original roster some time together before juggling things around. That is unless Kostka is ready to come back up

Very fair deal IMO. EDM gets a defensively responsible and big 2C who can potentially spark a Russian connection with Yakupov and Columbus moves a center, a position they're stacked with, for a forward that can be offensively explosive.
