Yikes.

Why 7D? Sit Pionk. He was bad both games, let him watch from up top and give ADA a legit shot. 7D is gonna lead to Tony getting 5 mins at even strength and then some PP time.

However, sometimes 11F and 7D can work. John Cooper has done a lot of it in Tampa. It’s all about how they’re used. We’ll see.

It’s not a big deal. Icetime is well allocated on this team, we’re young, fast, well-conditioned. It won’t be hard to split duties on double shifting. We have to find out who our top six D are and we can’t do that while sitting ADA.

Apparently Quinn used to do this at BU and would float the extra D at F at times. Seems like a possibility with someone like ADA.

It's two games into the rebuild. I thought they were better last night and I'm optimistic that ADA will have a good game provided he's given good minutes.
I thought our first game wasn’t too bad. I don’t think it’s the rookies making a lot of the defense fails a large part of them go to Staal

I like 11 and 7. Mix and match bad options on D depending on the situation. I also don't see why its a bad thing to have 11F. If a player like McLeod is only going to get five minutes anyway, why not just give that time to your best forwards?

ADA is going to suit up only so he can be used to serve too many men penalties

Spooner was much better last night vs first game and preseason.

First line hasn’t been as bad as some are trying portrait.
