I'll defend Nannerboots to the death, but I think it's still too early for his return after the neck injuries (remember, he still can't play 90 for NE yet) to get Twellman back in the pool.

Selfishly, I hope Perkins is omitted, too, since I've got tickets to see him in Norway over 4th of July weekend.

At first glance, here'd be my picks:

Davies-Casey
Clark-Holden-Rolfe-Thorrington
Bornstein-Spector-Marshall-Califf
Guzan

Note: I may have multiple people in one position (ie 2 right D's, etc.)

I don't know what it is about Davies, but I really like his style. I hope he gets a chance to get some good time in to show what he can do.

Did you see Velez last week? Yikes.

You would be a big improvement over Velez! :D

What's up with the anti-Wake Forest bias? No Marcus Tracy? No Michael Parkhurst?

Thompson--Cronin--Phelan--Carroll

LaHoud--Valentin--Parkhurst--Riley
