Thread: DD2 and Muzzin

After a couple of games, my urge to avert my eyes when they're out there is receding. For a third pairing, I think they're doing fine. I still am looking forward to Willie coming back, but things aren't nearly as dire as I thought they might be.

Agreed. Drewiske is still a tweener and Muzzin is still a bit cement footed for my liking but all in all they are certainly getting the job done.

Which exactly why he is a great replacement for Greene.

They're both extremely solid.

Drewiske, safe and reliable at D.
Muzzin, shown a bit of offensive flash.

I couldn't help but notice that in the final minutes of the 3rd, Sutter went with the Muzzin/Doughty pairing as the Kings were trying to tie it up.

Muzin looks a lot better than his first call up. At least right now he does. He has not been really tested on positioning too much yet. He was so lost the last time he was up that I thought there was NO way he would be back. Speaks highly of his character.

I was curious what Hickey could have done had he been here, but he JUST cracked NYI's horrible d-set for a 3rd pairing two days ago. That poor kid is just sputtering.

I never had a strong opinion on Drewiske one way or the other..... but I'm starting to really appreciate him and his blocked shots.

Any word on which one will will sit when Mitchell returns? I'd personally give Muzzin the edge but I can see DD2 playing instead.

I wouldn't be surprised if they took turns being healthy scratches actually. (Drewiske and Muzzin)
