I notice we have a lot of individual player threads but nothing on the defence as a whole.
Phaneuf has been great which is a relief as he had struggled a bit last year, great to see him doing well.
Rielly has had his ups and downs but has done well for a rookie. I see great glimpses.
Gunnarsson is actually not that noticeable which is good for a defenceman of his ilk, though could be better.
Gardiner has been a bit of an enigma. Can't describe his play other than less offensive this year.
Franson has that half slapper working for him. Never knew he was this clueless in his own end.
Ranger
Fraser hasn't played enough.
Not an overall fan of our defence as a whole, and would love to see two new guys brought in. Guys like Klein, Girardi, Scuderi, Orpik. Guys who are defensively responsible and cost 2-5 million. I think we need two of those type to come in and replace two guys if we want any shot of contending.
But this thread's purpose is not about what I think but about how everyone feels about our defence as a whole.
