Therrien loves Bouillon too much. I'd keep Tinner, but I doubt Therrien would.
Maybe I'm not watching closely enough, or drinking to much while the games are one, but I would take Bouillon over Diaz based on their performance so far.
Bouillon is unspectacular, but he's solid, and can give/take the physical play. Diaz looks soft and seems to be lacking confidence. He makes a lot of soft plays from what I see, and I'm not sure if it's because he's physically weak or only making the play halfheartedly due to lack of confidence.
Anyway, he won't be building confidence by being in the pressbox, so that's up to the coaching staff/management to decide, but based simply on their play, I would prefer Bouillon over Diaz so far.
I've always liked Bouillon. Felt he was a decent blueliner and played with heart. But he's really a number 7 guy now. He just doesn't look good and I'd want him to sit.
As others have said though, he's MT's boyfriend.
The problem with Diaz is that he's with the wrong partner. He needs a more physically imposing defensive partner in order for him to utilize his puck moving ability. With Markov, he has to be the defensive guy and he's not built for that.
Take Bouillon out and put Diaz with Tinordi and you'd see a much improved Diaz.
Sit Diaz....
Georges - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Murray - Tinordi
Good night.
Sit Diaz....
Georges - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Murray - Tinordi
Good night.
And going from mediocre to decent!Our D would from one of the lightest (last season) to one of the heaviest in the league!
Murray will be in the lineup before Emelin thought.
Gorges - Subban
Markov - Tinordi
Murray - Diaz
And then
Gorges - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Murray - Tinordi
Is this thread out there, because Emelin is closer to a return?
