defenseman

And I think that's because they're not exactly sold on what they have right now.

I think that they see a very, a very solid, mostly defensive defenseman and Willie and Willander at like probably like in a three, four pairing.

I think they do see that high upside for DPD.

You know, I said the other day, I think in the Discord, I think I said he was like a Cronwall light.

And obviously, he is light years away from that.

But I definitely could see him becoming a Cronwall-esque player.

I guess that's your answer right there.

But I do see that.

Because that is, yes, it's an offensive tool, but it's also a very effective defensive tool.

Not only you're making their D turn, but we've seen the neutral zone turnovers happen.

you know, practically disappear for this club.

There's always going to be the odd one here or there.

That's just, you know, the game, right? But when you're putting pucks deep and you're pressuring their D, it's either pucks aren't coming back on you or you have time to react when they do.

This style of play lends itself to a much more predictable defensive game where when there are breakdowns, you have time to read and react.

Ryan Shea tonight.

Now it's the opposite.

You know, when we get behind, I think we just don't, we don't change our game.

You know, we're just playing, playing fast, playing with pace, getting pucks behind their D.

And obviously, you know, we have some success when we do that.

You're at the end of month number one as a Pred.

Yep, thanks, fellas.

Ross Colton, everybody.

His first visit to the Jack Daniels Barrel House.

We'll clap for him in costume.

This mismatch on the blue line could be decisive.

So Tampa's D is strong.

Nashville's D is weakened.

That favors the Lightning.

But what about goaltending? Andre Vasilevsky has been solid, but Dennis Hildeby is there as insurance.

Do we expect Vasilevsky to start?

Vasilevsky starts.

He's the guy.

We can get into some individual performance.

The D pairings were kind of shuffled a little bit.

We can get into that.

Dominic James makes his return to the lineup.

Great to see him get an assist.

But I thought a good win.

There was a lot to like.

There's a lot that they can improve on.

So it was Chris Kelly to the Bruins from the senators on February 15th, 2011 in exchange for a second round pick in in that draft in 2011.

Who'd

the second round pick become? Do you know? I don't let's.

I love this.

Cause that's when I, I will honestly tell you, I don't remember that part of it.

Okay.

It got flipped again.

So it went from Ottawa to Chicago to Detroit and Detroit took Xavier Ouellette, the defenseman.

Well, yeah, there was...

Who was the defenseman, Dean? The Russian defenseman.

21.

Can't remember.

Hayden Hodgson left in the second period after a boarding major and game misconduct.

That also took Brent Clark out of L.A.'s lineup.

And Clark, their best offensive defenseman, with the exception of Drew Doughty, but probably I'd take Brent Clark now with the younger legs.

Absolutely not available for the overtime.
