Our Abysmal Defense

[starling]

So it looks like Cameron showed us today that if you break up awful Cowen-Boro pairing like everyone wanted, you get the worst pairing in NHL in Boro-Wiercioch.
So what are our options? What do we do with that defense?
Discuss.

This is comical:

 

[Icelevel]

Trade wiercioch, insert wideman.
Methot-Karlsson
Cowen-Ceci
Boro-Wideman

Trade any of those guys who can't keep up and get a real 2nd pair guy.

Wait for chabot, hope phillips doesn't get healthy.

 

[HoffmanIsGod68]

Package Two of Michalek, MacArthur, and Prince with the appropriate assets to land a solid #3 defenseman.

Although it's completely unrealistic, I'd be willing to tear down part of the fort to bring a name like Hampus Lindholm or Roman Josi to the blueline.

 

[WhiteLight*]

I like how it's titled B-Sens. Very appropriate

 

[God Says No]

In terms of corsi, Karlsson and Methot were the worst. The best? Boro - Wier.

 

[Ouroboros]

I like how it's titled B-Sens. Very appropriate

It's a subtle hint. It's Mark Fraser time, baby.

This is comical:

omg

omg

that

is

brutal

 

[starling]

Wonder how Wikstrand feels about playing a few games in NHL?

 

[Very Stable Genius]

It's a subtle hint. It's Mark Fraser time, baby.

Please no.

 

[HoffmanIsGod68]

In terms of corsi, Karlsson and Methot were the worst. The best? Boro - Wier.

And another penetrating glance into the fact that Corsi is a fickle stat.

I like how it's titled B-Sens. Very appropriate

I had a chuckle at it. But it was a bit too misleading.

Who's going to accept that salary? That Michalek contract is burning us.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

I think BMurr should have tried for a Cody Franson or Jeff Petry type in the off-season. Those guys aren't amazing, but they are decent minute-filers that can take a little pressure off 65-3. And having one of them means less Boro or Wiercioch. It might be a financial issue, in which case that's fine, but the management team needs to see some of the D are as good as they are going to be. I'm looking at you Boro and W.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

It's a subtle hint. It's Mark Fraser time, baby.

I get the subtle hint. but this would turn into another failed 15 game experiment.

Its getting somewhat ridiculous. Our record flatters us big time.

We need a 3/4 D man. I know they don't grow on trees.

IMO we either have to pay to get one or we should tank.

Play Boro and Wier 25 minutes a game. Leave everything else as is should do it.

 

[Icelevel]

Wonder how Wikstrand feels about playing a few games in NHL?

He would be on our second pair right now. Such bad timing.

 

[starling]

Maybe Mark Fraser is not a bad idea after all.
Bingo defense is pretty atrocious right now as well though.

 

[OmniSens]

We need help via trade.

 

[HispanicAtTheDisco]

Our defense is the music video for the Benny Hill music.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Both the Sens and B-Sens have horrible D corps. Players like Wiercioch and Borowiecki have been playing awful, and on a different team would probably sit games, but because of Murray's incompetence we don't really have anyone who can be called up to play games.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Our defense is the music video for the Benny Hill music.

lol

 

[SensFactor]

Wiercioch out wideman in. Trade for a top 4 dman. Borowiecki becomes your 7th dman. Just do it,!

 

[starling]

Wideman for Wier makes too much sense. It would even solve the problem with Boro playing on his wrong side.

So it probably won't happen.

Probably the water boy suggested it 3 weeks ago and Cameron made fun of him
