DT Question


Jakob

Recommended Posts

Was Kyle Love the starter beside Short because Rivera liked the matchup, or have Edwards and Cole regressed so far that Love is actually ahead of them on the depth chart? Love looked horrendous (PFF also thinks so) Cole will be 36 next year and Edwards will be 35, so we might have to seriously rebuild our DT depth, next year.

Edwards had the most snapss o all the DTs. Then Short, Love, and Cole. They rotate so much that the starter label isnt significant.

Rivera named Love the starter because of what he did during camp/pre-season.  I remember hearing it in an interview.  Had nothing to do with schemes, but that he was ahead of them on the depth chart.  Regardless, we do need to look long and hard at DT options after this season.

Edwards and Short together would be somewhat redundant, both provide similar attributes and both will get their time. With Short locked in as a starter it basically came down to Cole or Love next to him. I do think Love may have surpassed Cole, however. 

We definitely need to start looking for DT depth, though. Was kinda surprised we brought back both older guys this year, and I'm not sure we can count on that again next year. I'm sure Redden is still on the radar.

    • Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
    • How do I activate said Krispy Kreme deal? I'm stoned man you can't be playing with me about this...
    • When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
