Phaneuf, Bouwmeester, Regehr, Giordano all in their primes plus solid depth like Aucoin, White, Sarich and Pardy. Sutter dumped Stralman in the preseason that year because the D was so deep.

Anyways, who would have guessed that by the time the dust settled on those 4 Dmen's careers, Gio would not only have the most career points, but also be the only one of those guys to win a Norris?

Career points:

Giordano - 531 (and counting)
Phaneuf - 494
Bouwmeester - 424
The coach killed us! and there is no White if there is Phaneuf.

I still have no idea why Sutter dumped Lydman and Stralman for nothing.
