Melrose has a point about tinkering with the team since they are on the
roll.  But jagr and straka (god do i hate martin straka) can blow by Sutton
and White on a BAD day.  Sutt has played great but is not a defenseman of
niedermayer's calibre.  I think we need his speed - raffie can't be the only
speedy D man.  I would like to see nieds sit and rest a bit longer, but i
don't want to have to bring him back in in a CLUTCH situation and shake the
cobwebs then.

As to Sarge - i would like to see him back on the line - sit pando for a
game or two.
