Thank You,for telling the truth about this defense,
too many fire drills and too many guys without the skills to get the job done.Sorry hard facts but sometimes the truth hurts.
You can be a non hitting non protecting your goalie type of defense man, but the NHL is not your league.
We have some real talent up front now and need smart defense men to dish the puck at the right times to our forwards, not just bang it down the ice for the opposition to get and mount a charge right back at us while you are slowly changing.
Bring up some guys from the ahl just to see what we have and adjust accordingly,because I hate mentioning names(but fans know who I mean) and feel we could go places with an upgrade to our biggest weakness,our defense.
Let's put it this way,a rookie shouldn't be carrying alot of your back-ends offense, but here we are.
