Message: [QUOTE="ClvrUsrnm, post: 2731994"] As a once and future (next summer) LSM, I can personally say it’s really weird to switch between a short pole and a long pole in the same game, especially when you’re more comfortable with a long pole, as I am. The throwing motion is different. And so is defending up top. But the key to playing good defense is good feet and positioning. The stick is the last thing any defenseman should worry about. If Helmer and Murphy have the feet and athleticism, the stick shouldn’t matter that much. The more depth and versatility at SSDM the better. Unless the d-mids turn into Towson 2017, matchups will probably dictate who plays where and when. [/QUOTE]
