Imagine being Darren Raddysh, a 28 year old defenseman with 7 career NHL goals and Jon Cooper comes up to you and says yeah, you're going to be our Steven Stamkos replacement.

Issue with the PP wasn't Stamkos, it was zone entries and setting up. That's more on Point.

Seems like the team is manning up more in the D zone which is nice to see.
Can't help but wonder if last year's scheme affected Cernak a bit? And now that we are just kind of a balanced-6 defense everybody knows their role a little more? Cernak and McDonagh look like peas and carrots. Like all is right with the world.

Mosers got really good gap control, I like how aggressive he is defending the blueline.
Remember when we picked up Stralman and, while we knew he was good, he wound up being among the best #2 Ds in the league. Not saying Moser's gonna do that, but the reports on him were all pretty glowing. Might be a gem.

Wow, didn't realize how good that play by Atkinson was until the replay.

I can't lie I'm a little offended by a defenseman wearing the number 90.
Can't lie, I tried to remember if we brought Namestnikov back (again...) over the summer and I just forgot about it.
