Pretty cool opportunity for Blandisi here.

Pretty cool opportunity for Blandisi here.

I'd imagine he'd be demoted pretty swiftly, but I liked what little he played last night.

I'm tempted to traipse on over to the Devils' forum to ask if Henrique's spent time with Blandisi on his line.

Yeah I assume so too, but hopefully he can show what he's got with some skilled guys

 

[Exit Dose]

I'm happy to see Carlyle mixing up the forward lines. I still think Grant should be above Vermette for what he brings on offense.

 

[Exit Dose]

For once we're not the team making all the turnovers.

 

[ScarTroy]

Good looking start here

 

[duckaroosky]

Wow, we are actually skating out there. This means the 2nd will be epically bad I suspect.

 

[duxfan1101]

Ahlers just said Liambas has a fractured cheekbone

 

[duckaroosky]

How is that not GI?

 

[Exit Dose]

Forsberg is just the worst diver in the league.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Just runs straight over Miller.

 

[McDonald19]

Now Perry can run their goalie.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Now Perry can run their goalie.

No, you don’t send Perry and his reputation to do that. You send Manson or Bieksa.

Question, where do you guys see Henrique fitting on the roster once it's healthy?

C
Ryan Getzlaf

Ryan Kesler

Adam Henrique
Chris Wagner
Derek Grant
Antoine Vermette

seems to me you guys are stacked down C, would Henrique slide in as a LW? and maybe bring Cogliano down to 3rd LW? and Ritchie to 4th?

 

[kducks]

I saw Ritchie needs to land his fat ass on Rinne as much as possible, with elbows.

 

[duckaroosky]

Is this another case of the Ducks MAKING the preds play dirty?

Way to go, Pears!

What you said at the end I hope. Henrique with Kesler and silverberg should be given a try

He will likely be tried as LW with Getzlaf at some point. He will likely center the 3rd line for a little bit. He'll bounce around 3C and 1-3LW until they find a spot for him.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Pretty good start, I like what Henrique brings.

It'll depend on chemistry and need. He hasn't played here long enough to know if he'll be better served at wing or center.

What is "healthy"? From the sounds of it Henrique is more effective as a winger but who knows what goes on in Carlyle's head.

Of course, the poor innocent Preds wouldn't know how to play that way without the Ducks showing them.
