Anyone else think Jordan may stick over Sangs by the end?
I'll hold judgement until I see a few more games with Jordan. But I like what I saw last night

Sanguinetti played the first two games so, no he wasn't.
Is everyone comfortable going to playoff war with our group of defensemen because I'm not? Im fine with Gleason, Joni, Faulk, and Harrison but beyond that there is noone I can consistently trust and noone who is difficult to play against.

Sanguinetti played well in the first couple games (a likely product of both him playing for Charlotte and the majority of the rest of the league not playing much in the lockout), but as soon as the league talent started getting their legs back under them, Sanguinetti was exposed. And exposed badly.
If Corvo continues to play like he has been the past couple games, he's worth keeping around. If he reverts back, we may have to stick with the Corvo/Sangs revolving door until one of them gets their head on straight.
Corvo was infinitely worse than Sangs in game #1
I don't think you know what infinitely means.

To put it bluntly, who cares about games 1 and 2? It'll be unfortunate if those losses somehow come back to haunt the team, but it's pretty clear they were an unfortunate aberration forced upon us by the lockout.
Cam Ward was the worst goalie in the league, and the Staal's looked useless.
We've seen a few shades of Joe Corvo. The highlight being the 09 season, where he was a very good player. I'd say at worst, in Carolina, he's been 11-12 Jaime McBain.
I hate to use words like playing with a sense of urgency, because we can't know what's going on in his mind, but it seems like he's playing really really really hard.
A play in NJ particularly stuck out in my mind, where he was going to absolute war trying to get a larger Devils player out of the shooting lane on a shot from the point. Not just tie up his stick, or stand near him. He was practically crawling up inside the guys' jersey and pushing, Midvale School for the Gifted style.
I was full on the trash Joe bandwagon early on, but when he said he's stepped up his game, so the Coaches have no choice but to play him, I'm inclined to believe he's doing just that.
If his play stays in the same realm, even ignoring the scoring aspect,
Gleason/Corvo
Pitkanen/McBain
Harrison/Faulk
That's not so bad. If we can get better at the deadline, good. But with our offense, and the forecheck of unending doom, I think we can more than get away with that group.
I have the feeling that the organization was already pretty miffed about having to give Jordan a chance at all and probably did everything in their power to make Tim Gleason play if he could.
