Ya know, that ain't a bad 3rd pair. Especially given that they play tougher minutes than most bottom pairs.

Theyre also mainstays on a top 10 pk.

And still have the lowest gaon per 60 on the team


Theyre not the problem they're made out to be
 
Really hoping the Leafs can keep the game they put in last night going strong. A sharp U-turn from their slumping in the post-ASG break.

As noted in another thread, Bobrovsky has been just above .900 since the new year. Let's cross our fingers that the Leafs can take advantage of that and score another bucket of goals tonight.
 
Yeah, they've been fine. How good do you expect a 3rd pair to be anyway? Pretty much every team in the league doesn't have enough good defensemen and is looking for more.

Even Nashville traded for Franson a couple years ago when they had Weber, Josi, Ekholm, Ellis, Jones because they wanted to improve the bottom pair, and thats as deep of a defense as you'll find.
 
Expect lots of leafs fan in CBJ ... dirt cheap tickets and only 6 hrs drive from Toronto would do that.

CBJ has been a pretty decent team (that has slowed down the past 2 weeks) so we must not take them lightly, especially in the back end of a back-to-back.

But it seems like the team responded last night after finally getting a full practice in, it will be another test for the young team as we're trying to turn the corner

i just checked and notice that Hunlak's TOIqoc has now officially dropped below Gardrick's, when earlier on they were well ahead iirc.

Now I can't get a specific split on TOIqoc to see exactly how it's changed over the season but i thinkthat means that they are now being used in more typical 3rd pair matchups....and arguably thriving in them, at least as much as 3rd pairing dmen can.
 
Interesting to see how Hunlak's GA/60 and xGA/60 compare to the rest of the 3rd unit D in the league.

I suspect to see they are worse than average for both.
 
Hunwick has been a solid third pair guy this season. Polak more liability than asset but not without value. I'd prefer he's replaced with one of the Marlies but it's not the end of the world if he's there.

The bigger issue on the blueline, imo, is having a top four vet to help stabilize things. That said, they are improving after a very wobbly stretch (especially Carrick).

Carrick was unplayable over a recent stretch there.

I'm still not convinced he's anything more than a 5/6 though.
 
A better situation is to have Carrick take Polak's slot and fill in his with a vet with Polak's physicality and some better overall talent (esp breakout passing).
 
Polak has breakout icing down pat though.

Maybe they can work with him to just put a little less mustard on it and aim it at a teammates stick.
 
It drives me nuts how often he fires it way past any receiver. Seriously, why can't even a tool learn to pass a little lighter?
