Yes, because playin that way sells tickets, videogames, hope, and entertainment, which is why you’re lovin this: entertainment.

I have no problem at all with a dman pinching if a forward is back covering the vacated spot. Nothing wrong with keeping the puck in the offensive zone. Any defensive system should involve all 5 players. I know it wasnt like that in the 80s and early 90s. I remember the Pens when they went on their 2 cup runs in the early 90s. Ron Francis had to do all the back checking while Lemieux and Jagr floated around. Man I really disliked that style if hockey.

I don't think I misread. The original post said Orpik was essentially the last tough guy. That isn't true. Now as for how many "tough guys" you need on the team, I'll leave that to others to discuss. But the statement as made wasn't true.

I said exactly this "Could possibly be that they wanted to avoid arbitration with DSP. I'd like to see him back for his toughness. If not they need to give O'Brien another shot at it on the wing. If he's gone, and with Orpik gone we got a lot softer."
Never remotely said that Orpik was the last tough guy. I said that if we lose both DSP and Orpik then this team becomes a lot softer... Which is true... Jeez.

Reports are that Reirden is close to being named coach. Not that it's a shocker or anything.
