Re: SCSU Off-season thread 2; DL's NOT DEAD!
Ryan should play every game this year on the fourth line. There is no good reason to ever sit him unless he is hurt. The guy has the guts and smarts to be our main grinder this year. Every good team needs to have a Mitch Ryan type player. I agree he is not a top two line type guy and probably not a third line guy either.
As for Mosey and Peckskamp. I have no problem with Peckskamp getting a good chunk of playing time on the fourth line. He is not a defensive liability and he will always hustle. Mosey on the other hand is lazy and a defensive liability. If he actually hustled he would be a decent player, but he doesn't to often.
The fourth line is there to give your other three lines a break and to not give up any goals and that is it. As long as they are strong enough defensively that a coach doesn't have to be afraid to throw them out there they are doing their job. Oslund/Ryan/Peckskamp would be a solid 4th line next year.
