I blame this group for saddling us with a team of smurfs. One or two is okay but looking at our lineup the biggest player in our top 9 is wait for it, Cervanka at 201 lbs. and there are only 2 who are in any way physical. Our biggest defenceman is an over the hill Sarich at 207 lbs. Generally you try to put a stay at home physical defenceman with a mobile scoring man. We've got 1 physical defenceman and he doesn't play much. Yeah, Giordano will step up now and than but that isn't his game and we shouldn't expect it of him.
