Dude you frickin' ROCK MIke!!!

Question is, do I start Ference? Reason I ask is b/c I'm using him solely for his +/- since that's a very important category right now. If those key defenders aren't there AND Thomas...I mean now I'm worried about playing Ference. Thoughts? Also who's gonna be starting in goal then?

So considering so many key players are not traveling AND Turco is tending the net, I assume it would probably be in my best interest to leave a guy like Ference on my bench? I see it two ways: either they get mauled and his +/- gets killed (since I assume he'll have a much larger role defensively) or these guys take this opportunity to really have a great game. Thoughts? If I put Ference on the bench I could put in say Josh Bailey or Henrique in (since Ference is in my utility spot right now). So many questions today I know
