Listened on the radio. Blankenberg is even smaller on the radio. (They were calling it: Who was that? Was that Evangelista? I don't know...)

Call-up dmen bringing more to the table than expected. Them scoring is a pleasant surprise. Perhaps it buys time, and perhaps it helps team build confidence. Secondary scoring need to pick up from other parts of this team though.

What is that guy Kohlsmith's first name? They never mention it on the radio broadcast.

PS: I had to lol as I was driving when they were popping off about his "amazing telescoping arms". Kohlsmith must be Inspector Gadget.

Didn't see the game yesterday so I'm checking the different game reports and I notice Barron didn't play...the kid is already pressboxed? How did that not make it into the GDT?

The point is still the nonsensical nature of all these moves. Wilsby, I like, but what is the point of Blankenburg? Is this really some fallacy that management just has to run to it's final conclusion, just like Grimaldi? Must we suffer through the idiocy of another infatuation with a tiny player? Worse yet, this time, a guy that plays defense. And we're still stuck with RHD Josi and top line Lauzon, it's just lunacy.

How dare those Milwaukee guys keep scoring goals instead of the old, slow veterans making 7 - 8 million a season!!!

The Preds should have kept Fabbro.

Fun fact. Blankenburg and Girard were born the same day, May 12, 1998. Fabbro, born 5 weeks later, was the Preds 1st round pick in 2016, Girard was a Preds 2nd round pick that year, Blankenburg went undrafted.

Oddly, this current Preds braintrust has settled on the smallest and least experienced of the three to build their future RHD around.

Fabbro would've never been put on the ice in that OT.

But throwing him away for nothing was a dumb move.

PS: Don't let Shag hear you talking about skating grandpas. :naughty:

It'll be interesting to see Fabbro's OT usage as time goes on. He can make long accurate passes and get shots on net even from bad passes which seem like important skills.
Agreed.

I was speaking from the Bruno context. Bruno just didn't like the guy. Even when he was in the lineup, he was treated like a huge liability that they could only risk to put out there once every few shifts and had to juggle the other 5 to work around him.
