So there it is, Mosco's punch deemed intentional and he's out for some huge matches against (obviously) Seattle, Colorado, and San Jose. Our CB depth is probably more solid than at any other position, but with Brunner's concussion, we're without both of our top two starters at CB for one of the most crucial matches and stretches of the year.

Still, the question has to be asked: why wait until Friday, 5 days after the incident, to announce this and punish him? Seems a little late, don't you think?

I watched it live and shirked as it happened, since it certainly didn't look good. Regardless, the punishment has come down and here we are. Probably Futty and Horst this weekend then, with AJB on the bench? Tough timing and not fun to lose arguably our strongest player this season to a loss of temper 30 seconds from full-time of a lost game.

Thoughts? Deserved? Who's in the lineup this weekend, and how bad is it without him?
