So game 1 is Thursday at 7 no matter what.
Yikes smabySustr is bad, but he would be top 4 on some of those late-00's/early-10's defensive corps we iced. We had Krajicek, Matt Walker, Vlad Mihalik, and Matt Smaby on the roster at the same time. Sustr is better than every one of those guys and they played a combined 126 games for us in 2009.
Mike Lundin was one of our "studs" one year. He was waived by another team the next season.
He was actually alright in the regular season but was a liability in the playoffs. Physically intimidated, outworked, shaky. Think he was gone the next year.I actually liked Lundin. Thought he was reliable, in relation to the dumpster fire we would put on defense nightly.
Lundin was terrible in the playoffs though. Regular season Lundin was actually pretty decent but he couldn’t handle the increased physicality in the playoffs. He went from 1st pairing minutes to MAB minutes.I'd take Lundin a thousand times over Sustr. He was mediocre but at least consistent at it and was never the burning fire that the giraffe is
