Apparently Kuba is going to play with Picard tonight. I am not sure I like it too much. Although we aren't winning and you have to try different things, Kubaseems to be the only pleasant surprise this year in terms of production. He is not overly physical but that complemented Smith. Now it looks like Smith and Richardson? Holy slow motion Batman!!! If I am a forward with that defensive combo, I am going to be looking to stay back a bit and watch a lot of pucks go off the glass just to get out of the defensive zone. Train wreck waiting to happen. I love JSmith but Richardson is tooooo slow and not a good compliment for the game Jason plays. Basically Smith is Richardson just 6 or 7 years younger.

Those are some ugly pairings! Not quite sure why, on a team with only 2 offencive defence men, they would put both on the same pairing, and have two pairings of stay-at-home defence men. I guess we'll find out soon enough how these pairings work out.

Talk about Terrible idea. Keep Picard on the bottom pair and limit his ice time to PP and 5 on 5 vs. the opposing teams 4th line. I'd prefer they bench him all together but that's apparently not going to happen.

Kuba is not great defensively so this move boggles the mind. Our two worst D in terms of defensive awareness paired together? Remind you of anything cough Redden and Meszaros cough. This is a head scratcher to say the least. Top it all off with the two slowest D paired together and it's a recipe for disaster IMO.

I do not like those pairings at all.

Kuba - Pickard would scare me almost as much as Redden - Meszaros did last year...

Defence pairings for today:
Schubert - Volchenkov
Picard - Kuba
Smith - Richardson

Phillips out with a bruised foot but should be fine... I guess game-time decision?

Doh.

This will get ugly FAST if Phillips is out. It's already bad enough with him IN.

Schubert - Volchenkov will be interesting.

The other two pairings will be horrifying.

Picard - Kuba are going to be CRUSHED on dump ins, I can see it now...

In what stratosphere do you not play Schubert with J.Smith? I don't get it.

Phillips - Volchenkov
Kuba - Picard
Schubert - Smith

Done, done and done.

Is that too hard to figure out Hartsburg?

And if Phillips is out? The lines were assuming Phillips was out. Maybe we'll see your lines if Phillips is in.

It says something about Schubert if they take Richardson down there over him....

Indeed. I would hope, that if Big Rig is good to go, he'd take his usual spot and we'd see Schubs in there instead of Richardson.

I know this is way off topic but I didn't feel this was topic creation worthy :D Anyone read Avery's comments about Redden and Naslund? The guy says that the fact that they played for Vancouver and Ottawa that they were playing in a "Pressure-Free" environment!!! Is this guy serious??
