How hard is it to play defense? Well you had one of the worst defensive teams in the league last season and didn't do anything to address it in the offseason, actually getting worse at it after the Klefbom injury. I guess that means its probably going to be pretty hard.

Lines and pairings are all messed up. Or is this what you're hoping happens?

I don't think they've been released for tonight's game, but this is what they ran last night:

I imagine they'll change the bottom-6 to something like this:

Ennis - Turris - Puljujarvi
Nygard - Shore - Archibald/ Chiasson
