It's kind of habit at this point -- there are definitely people sticking up for his performance last night. You might be referring to my post. First of all, you might notice that nowhere do I say that we were deeper, or better. But that aside: Commodore Hedican Kaberle Ward Wallin Wesley Hutchinson Tverdovsky Babchuk All 9 of those defensemen played 20+ regular season games for Carolina last year. #10 on the depth chart was Chris Hajt, who with only 6 career NHL games would have been indeed scary to see. This year's top 9: Commodore Hedican Kaberle (maybe in January) Wesley Gleason Wallin Hutchinson Babchuk Tanabe And #10 on the depth chart this year is Derrick Walser, who I would not mind at all seeing in red this year. 82 career NHL games and not a terrible player, especially offensively.

Nice win, Sabres fans. It would be pretty sweet to have a playoff rematch come spring -- 4 regular season games is not nearly enough because these games are just fantastic to watch. Mair, Gaustad, and Peters were indeed a beast of a 4th line in the first. I kept waiting for us to expose them with speed but they really controlled play physically. What happened to their ice time as the game went on? http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20062007/SC020101.HTM Mair had 1 shift in the 2nd and none in the 3rd, after 4 what looked like good ones in the first. Peters didn't see the ice after the 1st. Is that normal for you guys? -Canes fan
