That 33-24 pairing is a disaster. I really dislike Dermott’s game a lot. He’s such frustrating player to me. I really can’t figure out why he continues to play as much as he does.

this x1000, and the only reason they're playing so much is because both Brown & Kesselring are even worse defenders...wrap your mind around that.

And it’s also just how physically weak he is. He’s constantly getting punked. It’s embarrassing. I feel bad because he’s a really nice guy and an extremely talented athlete who’s made it to the highest level of his sport. But he’s just truly as inefrective as an nhl regular defenseman can be.

Ingram in goal.

O'Brien is day to day (UBI).

Yes, it is embarrassing because he's 6'5'' and weak as a bunny. Not saying he can't improve, but he's a world away from being a 'solid' defender, let alone a good one.

Sorry I meant Dermott.

Bear seems to really like him but my hope is he gets time due to a lack of options.

 

[Baby Doaner]

Yay! Another loss!

You are saying Dermott is 6'5"?

Since Ingram's last shutout and you will never guess who it was against.

I think we are jumping around between Dermott and Kesselring. Though, I like Kessering. And I think Valimaki-Kessering makes an ok 3rd pair.

Ahh...that makes sense...didn't realize Kesselring was that big and likely cuz he doesn't play big like was being pointed out. He is terribly inconsistent and uncomfortable when he is around the net defensively.

Feels like Valimaki has regressed this year (even before getting his face wrecked).

It is so frustrating watching dermott and dumba while Soderstrom continues to be down in Tucson. Please put an end to that pairing

Kesselring has gone from never playing physically at all to trying his best to be physical sometimes to stay in the league. It’s a work in progress but I like what I’m seeing.

Agree about Valimaki. But I still like him WAY more than Dermott.

you think Kesselring is worse than Dumba? Man, ooooeee, not sure.

As bad as Dumba is...there are things he does better than Kesselring. Kesselring does a dirty snipe here and there but otherwise, I don't see him making many other NHL squads.

^the best one of those was an NFL one from a few years ago, featuring Cris Collinsworth: "Roses are red/violets are blue/now here's a guy/who cares about you"

Yeah, Kesselring gets less than 14min of TOI most nights and there is a reason for that. He's definitely worse defensively than Dumba.

Like Dangler said, I doubt whether Kesselring makes any other roster

 

[Mangosteen]

Hopefully not even ours next year.

 

[TheLegend]

If we lose….. I’m blaming NHL Network.
