Time to see if the current top 4 can each play about 25 minutes.The third pair was already rough, now we get the dreaded Irwin-Weber pairing? Let's hope for something unexpected from them.
I didn't like what I saw from Davies in the preseason. He may grow into an NHL d-man but he didn't look ready to me.Really wish the young guns were filling those spots on the 3rd pair. I can deal with Hammer being there with someone like davies or something
I know people love to hate on Irwin here, but I'm not convinced that he isn't better than Hammer at this point. Mind you it would only be by a small margin. I thought Hamhuis looked that bad in the first two games. I agree that giving Carrier, Allard, Santini a chance makes sense.
Feels like we're losing an awful lot of one-on-one battles. Makes sense being that Sharks are desperate looking for their first win of the year.
