Too bad he doesn't own a home in Raleigh or he'd be on our top pairRetired apparently.
The scarier thought - How ****ed up is McBain if Corvo is getting the slot over him?
No.
Pitkanen/Faulk was the best thing about our team today. That's an actual, legit, borderline elite #1 pairing if they can keep playing like they did today. Faulk's been getting Doughty comparisons already, both from the Panthers fan in their GDT and a bunch of the prospect guys I follow on Twitter. Pitkanen's ALWAYS had an elite skillset when healthy, and he finally seems to know how to use it (i.e. finally using that bomb of his every once in awhile).
I say keep them together. A true #1 pairing. Have we ever actually had that?

Anyone trying to be optimistic about Joe Corvo needs to get out immediately. You are ruining the meltdown.
Unfortunately they're probably going to just switch Sangs, McBain, and Faulk in and out of the lineup as the answer instead.
EXCELLENT point. Why blame Corvo for being Corvo? He's 35 years old and has been in the league 10 years. His level is well-established, and on top of that well-established, very low level of talent, he's on the clear downside of his career. He sucks. But it's not his fault that he sucks. He is what he is.
It's up to JR to keep sucky players off the roster, and Muller to keep sucky players out of the lineup. Corvo is playing like Joe Corvo. Blaming him for not playing like (insert name of some player better than Joe Corvo here) is not logical.
