Pesce - Why no thread?

[Unsustainable]

Why no thread?

Because they always jinx us. LA thread and CIs Playoff thread.

I wonder how he feels about seeing a guy like Jordan play over him

Probably like he has to earn a job!

Yeah, in a different thread, I think Dave said he was 22 in college, which is assigned to Boychuk currently. I'm going to go out on a limb and say 22 just might be available next year.

I think his Twitter handle still has 22 in it and that he was #3 in Charlotte. Should have just gone the double number route and requested #33. Pretty sure Babchuk won't be coming back to claim it (or 48 for that matter).

I still frequently wear my #33 Babchuk jersey

Yeah? When you take shots pre-gaming are they often high and wide too?

I believe it was the plan all along to give him breaks, as he's 18 and they aren't looking to physically grind him into dust over the course of an 82 game season.

I agree. After his first healthy scratch, Peters mentioned there will be other times in the future as well so this isn't a surprise. Plus, they really don't want to let 1 guy (Jordan) sit for to long without getting a game or two).

Yup and every time I shoot the puck, I yell: "BOOM! Head shot!"

I agree absolutely and think it's a good plan. He shouldn't be insulted Jordan plays ahead of him, and I'm sure Hanifin respects Jordan. I think when he sits in favor of anyone, regardless of what they told him ahead of time about sitting this year he likely feels the pull to play well enough so they don't want to sit him again.

I simply threw the Jordan line out there in response to:

It has to be keeping his humility in check to see a guy like Pesce play the way he has and get in the game over him.

Did I forget the ?

last time i was this excited about a young defensive prospect looking like a surefire future top 4 player, jamie mcbain was making the nhl his playground!

I think before the Ottawa game Forslund and Tripp insinuated that Hanifin might have a minor lower body concern as well.
