Girard bullying Debrincat is one of the funniest things.This reminds me that Girard and his old buddy Debrincat will be squaring off tonight.

Well, JJ ended up with the 3rd most ice time among dmen after Makar and Girard.
He played more minutes than Murray, EJ and Byram.

JMFJ isn't a #1 D man by any stretch of the imagination but if he plays like he did last night on a regular basis I say he's a nice #5/#6 Dman if that's the role he is put in by the coaches.
One thing where he adds more that i expected is that he's got some snarl to his game. He'll lay guys out if/when he can catch them and he's not afraid to man up along the boards and in the corners. A helluva lot better than Nemeth at least.
That’s because JJ played 4 minutes short handed. At ES Byram was third behind Makar and Girard. I’m not too worried about Byram’s toi, they seem pretty clear on his role as a minute muncher at even strength which depending on the penalty minutes will fluctuate his toi per game. They did give him a pk shift and hopefully mix in some pp eventually.Well, JJ ended up with the 3rd most ice time among dmen after Makar and Girard.

Yeah, you might be right, I’ve never really followed his game much.JJ has always had a physical aspect to his game. Him and EJ both were expected to score more though.
Which is rather a shame because Bo looked awesome tonight and I want to see him getting the minutes. JJ was better than expected but he's still got the look of a lost defender looking to get bailed out on occasion. He's got such a good structure around him that he can get away with it, but he's nowhere near as steady as EJ and doesn't have the skills of the others to calmly make a play to relieve pressure in the D zone.
