But what I am expecting is once the team settles into their groove, is that we actually see one of the ''best defensive units in the NHL'' live up to their potential. I want to see 3 great pairings control the pace of the game. Be able to to shut down other team's top players and lock down a lead. Be able to QB the PP and make other teams regret taking penalties.

Well, you'll see two great pairings but a Stone - Kulak/Wotherspoon/Bartkowski is highly unlikely to be great. But that's fine as they won't need to be on the ice too often together.
