Dotchin is a bad choice always, especially so against a team with New Jersey’s speed. They’d match hall with Dotchin and hall would probably bank it in off that dumb oaf’s head.
Koekkoek would be ok, if we were still at home and needed someone for 5:00 a night of offensive zone starts or something. But we’re not, we’re in jersey, and we’re gonna play hedman 30+ minutes I guess
The only consolation I can give you is that we made it to the stanley cup finals with Sustr AND Matt Carle on the team before.

Well it all depends on how long Girardi is out for, IF he is even out.This is a good point. But we didn't WIN the Cup that year either. And I'm sorry, but I just can't "like" any postings with pictures of Carle or Sustr, even in a humorous posting. It's sort of like saying you enjoy the WNBA.
(Note to self: Start drinking more pre-game while Sustr warms up)

Agreed. I'm ok with having someone like sustr play a few games if it means Girardi can rest up and get ready to play.I love Girardi. But he does get hurt a lot. If we're going to sit him for one or two games, these games in NJ would be it. I'd rather have 95% Girardi against Boston than gimpy Dan.
The only reason we've made it this far is because we have a giant 25 on the center of our arena as well as on everyone's jersey. Carle's spirit is what drives this team forwards. Look what happened last season when we bought him out.This is a good point. But we didn't WIN the Cup that year either.

True but the problem his our RD side beyond Strals. We don’t have anybody reliable there without G.Dotchin is a bad choice always, especially so against a team with New Jersey’s speed. They’d match hall with Dotchin and hall would probably bank it in off that dumb oaf’s head.

I’m more comfortable with serge or coburn playing the right side. Honestly.True but the problem his our RD side beyond Strals. We don’t have anybody reliable there without G.
Cooper things are going to well I’ve got to drag this series on longer getmus to a game 7 I know I will enter sustr in our lineup to get the devils offense going moreLets be honest here. We all know whats coming.
Dressing a defenseman to their first NHL game in the playoffs seems like a great way to ruin your series.
Coburn too yet Stralman was on the ice nonstop for it felt like the last 15 minutes of the 3rd last night. I saw Serg mix in on RD but Coburn didn’t get much TOI then. Odd.McD and Sergachev can both play the right side
dotchin hasn't played since March 17.Play 7 D. Dress Dotchin and Sustr.
Hedman - Coburn
McDonagh - Stralman
Sergachev - Sustr/Dotchin
Rotate Sergachev in on the right so one of Hedman or McD can babysit Dotchin and Giraffe. Easily doable. Forget the matchup to an extent and worry about zone starts with Sustr and Dotchin. We get pinned in with one of them on the ice against Hall = goal. Can't do that for 3 periods. Over playing Stralman is good for another goal against so if they get 10 minutes and Sergachev coming in every couple shifts, it's easily doable. Bowness needs to direct traffic tomorrow or else Hynes is going to have a field day feeding the giraffe.
dotchin hasn't played since March 17.
if girardi is hurt, and we don't see dotchin, you have to wonder if it's another issue wherein he violated some sort of rule.
Always down for more Peca although what does this mean for Conacher.
