When it comes to the first playoff game, which D men will play and which will sit?

 

I would start Buff, Chiarot, Enstrom, Myers, Pardy and Trouba.

 

I kinda think Maurice won't start Chiarot and start someone with more experience but I would start him.

 

How was he tonight, I was at work and missed the game.

There's a 0% chance, barring injury, that Stuart isn't dressed for that game.Assuming everyone is healthy,  I think Chiarot or Pardy is the only real question. I'd start Chiarot, but Maurice really likes Pardy on the pk.

Stuart will play guaranteed. Pardy might not.

Toby Myers

TROUBA STU

BUFF CHIAROT

Then again if Perreault injured longer than expected Buff may go forward

Wow, I completely forgot about Stuart, he plays for sure....

I agree with the lineup Goalie posted and I hope Maurice does, too.

Pardy has good moments and really bad giveaways behind our net...  Maurice does like him though

 

I actually think the pairing of Chiarot and Myers looked really nice, worried that Toby is a bit small for the Ducks

 

Chiarot-Myers

Stuart-Trouba

Enstrom-Buff

 

Those would be my guys

Yeah I was like what did Stu do to you

Keep buff and Toby away from each other except on power plays and it's not like it's the first time Toby would be playing the ducks. His size is irrelevant

Toby and Myers make a good team.  Myers is more defensively responsible than Buff, right?  So good pairing.

 

Chairot seems able to cover for Buff well.  It was during that time they were together that people started saying Buff was a Norris candidate.

 

And Stu and Trouba are great together.  Warriors both of them.

Maurice like Pardy on the PK so that is why I think he might sit Chiarot.

Chiarot / Buff

Enstrom / Myers

Stuart / Trouba

 

Harrison and Pardy would have to sit

Myers/Toby is pair 1 and they were when Buff was healthy and not suspended

 

If you want to get all techincal in terms of d pairings 1 2 and 3... Buff was playing with Pardy the last few games aka pair 3

 

No doubt about it

 

It's gonna be

 

Myers/Toby

Trouba/Stuart

Buff/Chiarot or Pardy <-- could see one guy play one game and the other the next even but personally i think a healthy chiarot gets in over a healthy pardy. 

 

Just my opinion but.. I think it makes more sense to play Chiarot than Pardy.. If you only gonna play pardy cuz he's good at penalty killing, I don't like it.. You play your 6 best d men and imo, those are Myers/Toby, Trouba/Stuart and Buff/Chiarot

 

The easy way to avoid having to kill penalties is you don't take any and honestly from watching playoffs in the past, you gotta almost kill a guy to get a penalty, refs aren't  gonna be calling chincy penalties anymore, it's gonna have to be blatant and obvious.
