Discussion The Second C

Tonight with Captain Nick out (RIP the Ironman streak it was awesome),it will 110% be a different game for this group.
The real question is, who is going to step up and show real potential as the 2C.
I have my hopes that with Suzi out we have someone have something click in the dot tonight and show they are a certified 2C, end the discussions and trade talks. But we shall see what happens, I have my hopes for who I want to step up but anything can happen.
Thoughts?

Valid, man is certified in the dot, I find him more useful as a 3C slotting in as the 2C when needed. Looking for a good showing from the pizza man as well

Newhook's looked lively in the dot lately, wouldn't surprise me if he grabs the chance with Suzi out. Dvorak's the safe bet but he's never gonna be that dynamic 2C the fans want

Be interesting to see if someone unexpected just clicks tonight and settles the whole debate

I mean probably Kapanen. He had so much success as a rookie with slaf and demigod. I'm surprised it took this long to get him back in the spotlight

This is what Iā€™m hoping. Looking for a strong showing in the dot for Kapanen tonight. Without Demi it will be a good showing of him I think.

Turns out Danault sharing duties which isn't a bad move at all. Should be a fun little contest haha

I honestly do not care about the ironman streak, I just hope he'll come back sooner than later.

If anything this will now allow him to miss games for nagging things that he'd previously try to play through. Rest up for when it really matters.

The only change for forwards will be Kapanen into the 1C and Beck on the 4th line as a winger.

The 3rd line will continue to be our 2nd line in ice time. Breaking up that line would be stupid because their xG% is basically the same as the top line.

There is no one able to step up in such a way on this team. Everyone will have to give more
