JESUS,family,rutgers Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 From the April 9 Newark Star-Ledger, "As they get closer to the playoffs, the New Jersey Devils still aren't sure what their defensive pairings will look like into the postseason. Paul Martin, who was back into the lineup last night against the Canadiens in Montreal after a brief illness, is paired with Colin White as New Jersey's top unit. If Richard Matvichuk's back stays healthy enough, he could be alongside Brian Rafalski on the second pairing. That would leave David Hale,Tommy Albelin,Ken Klee, and Brad Lukowich for the final two spots. "We have to make the playoffs first," Albelin pointed out. "I guess Lamoriello will go with the guys who are playing the best. And then the best matchups for whoever we're facing in the playoffs, too." Klee has played well of late and may merit a spot. That would leave Hale,Lukowich, and Albelin for the last spot. "I think it will be a difficult decision maybe," Hale said. "But I think Lamoriello will make the right decision. He's been doing pretty good so far." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hale has looked pretty good in the games that I have seen him play recently, I hope he continues to do well and play in the line up on a day to day basis. Lou will make the right decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
