Pens Preview - Defense

The Pens defensive pairings, according to the Post-Gazette, will be

Josef Melichar-Sergei Gonchar
Dick Tarnstrom-Ric Jackman
Brooks Orpik-Rob Scuderi
Steve Poapst-Lyle Odelein

Here are some of the players that were present at the end of 03-04:
Tarnstrom
Jackman
Melichar
Orpik
Strbak
Focht
Scuderi
... and probably a few others, though I couldn't dig up any good names (they traded Berehowsky before the end of the season).

Wow - much of the defense is still intact and expected to play a big role this year. Will be interesting to see how soon the Pens dip into the minors to get Whitney up here.
