Hey - am I the only one that is ticked that "Dougie" Hamilton was not suspended for the elbow to Kuzy's head?
Also, what about the cross-check last night to Oshie's head? Don't remember who did it, but it wasn't all that different from Kadri's hit that got him suspended.

If those plays had happened to a different opponent there would have been a suspension on the elbow at a minimum

Other than Orpik, we just don't have anybody that is big enough or strong enough. After the first period, Carolina figured that out and just crushed our D and especially exposed Djoos. Note, I am not even going to comment on Dylan.
For changes, I would expect to see Boyd get a start. If it is technically possible, I would actually not be surprised to see them bring DSP back (not that I would be in favor of that). I think they might get worried about Carolina getting physical as it seemed like we were getting manhandled after the first two periods. Even Wilson was having a hard time and got knocked down several times. So, DSP might help in that regard (again, I vote against it).
The other change might be Seigenthaler in for Djoos. Djoos obviously had a terrible game and seemed to be rattled - kind of reminded me of the Shattenkirk playoff performance a couple years ago. Carolina will go at Djoos hard from here on out.
Otherwise, just burn that game tape and move on.

I agree on giving Djoos a seat although it's hard to see why he'd be rattled after playing in 4 playoff series last year. Boyd should definitely play ahead of Stephenson. I also have no problem with DSP coming up. He'll be physical in the corners and it's not like the 4th line is getting any chances as is. Then it's a matter of whether you want to sit Burakovsky or Dowd and I'd pick Burakovsky as things now stand.
