Post-Game Talk: Not the 3 Kings @ Dumpster Fire 12:30 pm CST

[Kat Predator]

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...)

 

[Legionnaire11]

We can officially get to 10 wins today

 

[Marty Party]

Fun to see the celly by 29 after the game winner. He was amped all the way down the ice to join the boys.

 

[hockey diva]

Well how about that?

Next up on GDT

 

[herzausstein]

Bam double digit wins

 

[ShagDaddy]

Bruno just got an eleven year extension

With the way Trotz has dealt with his recent extensions, MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

 

[SouthNash]

10 wins!!!
This is painful!

 

[hockey diva]

Example number 1 billion,you cannot sit on a lead!

 

[Marty Party]

Beer goes up and it stays there...

 

[suovas]

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.

 

[Kat Predator]

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.

 

[Adz]

Whoops! I've been celebrating my Mom's 91st birthday, just now catching up.

Time for WINNER PIE!!! So so good. Blanks and Marchy, first slices.

Go Preds!

 

[bdub24]

I - I missed it. And it was OT and it was a win..

fu bdub24!

 

[Rudy Russo]

I always liked Nick Blankenburg when he played at Michigan.

 

[adsfan]

Glad to see goals by L'Heureux and Blankenburg! Same for Marchy.

Two of three goals by the Milwaukee guys!

 

[nine_inch_fang]

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?

 

[Armourboy]

Cause no one expected him to play?

He likely wont play either until Blankenburg or Wilsby do something to get sat out or there is a trade of one of the vets.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

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.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

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.

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.

Who said they were building around him? Right now he's just the guy that is playing well and they are using. In 3 months he may not even be here.
