Absolutely. But have you read Bill's recent blog on the grass is greener? There are very few defenseman who bring the total package. And the point remains the same. You don't have to be a physical defenseman to be very good defensively.

While my original point was that a defensive d-man is a better player with a physical game.

What do you think about Derek Morris? Don't know why...just kind of popped into my head and I thought he'd be a pretty good and relatively cheap addition...

Q: What is this team's collective mindset as you take on your former goaltender?

First of all we have to throw a lot of pucks at Bryz. He's known for letting in bad goals, you know, so I think our mindset is going to be get the puck down behind the net and hopefully he comes out and plays a few because he doesn't like to do that.

We have to put some pressure on Bryz. We've gotta make it a tough night, we gotta have guys in front, we've gotta be banging away at rebounds. He gets frustrated that way.

Q: I'm sure there will be some chirping involved, right?

That's expected in every game. But it might go to the extreme today.

Q: There is a mental strength that is missing there, right?

We're actually glad -- first of all, I'm glad he's gone because the guy we brought in has done a great job and fitted in real well, made our team even closer. There was some animosity there with Bryz sometimes. We don't have that with [Mike Smith] so we have a good group and we're winning games because of it.

Welp...guess it was him.

Don't mind me.

So wait- who was that idiot that brought up the idea of plucking Morris out of PHX??

Again, not always the case. Willie Mitchell is a better defensive defenseman then Coburn or Grossmann is. Coburn and Grossmann are more physical then Mitchell is

Or if you compare Mitchell to when he plays physical and when he does not.

Mitchell isn't an overly physical player. Coburn and Grossmann both registered 164 hits last Season. Mitchell had 74.

It's kicking, Nutter, thanks for asking. Kicking hard...working 2 part time jobs as an 18 year old but hey- at least it's kicking.

I've "seen" you on here a few times, for what it's worth. You're the Peg guy, right??

I hear you.

I work 7-5, monday to friday. (frank) it was so much nicer when we were 14 and didnt have to do anything. I'm only 21 but feel ancient haha.

I'm from Winnipeg yes, had the joy of being at Pronger's last game played. At least I think it was.
