DaleHOST
Maybe.
DaleHOST
I don't know what Blankenburg can do.
DaleHOST
I'm not 100% convinced he's the guy.
ChadHOST
It's probably not the best time to do that when you're going on this road trip.
Nick AshbourneHOST
Mermis is the first name that comes to mind, so yeah, they're certainly thin on that side.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
Like, what else, what else even is there? On the right you're like Blankenburg, Danforth, right? Like, you feel reasonable, like as reasonable as one can when you start going down that side of the depth chart.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
But on the left it's like Noah Chadwick, Rifai, Blake Smith, you know?
Nick AshbourneHOST
Yeah.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
It's either him or Mermis-
Nick AshbourneHOST
Mm
Anthony PetrielliHOST
... for one left shot injury, or you're playing Blankenburg on the left.
Nick AshbourneHOST
Yeah.
Peter BarrichiniHOST
Hitting five games into the season, so.
Andrew ForbesHOST
In saying that, where the fuck is Nick Blankenburg? Like, where-
Peter BarrichiniHOST
Yeah.
Peter BarrichiniHOST
I'm-
Andrew ForbesHOST
Stetcher hasn't been, like, Stetcher hasn't been overly exciting.
Peter BarrichiniHOST
Yeah.
Andrew ForbesHOST
Like, why, why, y- you announce prior to the game that you're gonna play Nick Blankenburg and then all of a sudden we've got Troy Stetcher back in the lineup, and I'm like, I'm sitting there like, "You sign this guy off of a PTO, took up a roster spot.
Andrew ForbesHOST
Why the hell would you not give him an opportunity, especially with the pre-season that he's had?"
Nick GosseHOST
You know, I don't think that's gonna necessarily work long term.
Nick GosseHOST
Maybe we get to see Nick Blankenburg, um, tonight.
Nick GosseHOST
I'm sure we'll know later this afternoon.
Nick GosseHOST
It is a super, super late game this evening, so, you know, some morning skates a little bit later.
Ben EnnisHOST
But yeah, not, not a lot of options on the blue line.
Brent GunningHOST
Get ready to learn Nick Blankenburg is what I'd, what I'd say-
Ben EnnisHOST
Yeah
Brent GunningHOST
... about that.
Justin BourneHOST
They're very, very average when fully healthy, so.
Nick KypreosHOST
Blankenburg, would you make a switch?
Justin BourneHOST
You know, we've done this whole thing where you change the six D's that move the needle, taking Stecher out and putting Blankenburg in.
Nick KypreosHOST
Well, why did you sign him, then, if it, it has to move some needle?
Sam McKeeHOST
Well, no, you gotta put, you gotta, you gotta put him in.
Ryan FurnishHOST
... a guy who can just grab it and make a play or two when it's out of the zone.
Rob FurnishHOST
I do wonder if at some point on this road trip they give Blankenburg a look because I think the Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Troy Stecher pairing is struggling.
Rob FurnishHOST
Oliver Ekman-Larsson's had a tough start to the year.
Rob FurnishHOST
He looks, uh, you always talk about how much you like his compete and how he's-
MichaelHOST
I do not see a world in which they play together even 70 games.
MichaelHOST
Like, you have got to get Blankenburg in there.
MichaelHOST
Not that he's gonna be amazing.
MichaelHOST
I just think he gives you something different.
JordanHOST
I'm like, "Dude, what are you doing? You're 35, 36.
JordanHOST
How are you getting beat like this by someone who you've got six inches and maybe 20 pounds on? What are you doing?"
MichaelHOST
If, if I'm gonna have an undersized D back there, I think I'd try Blankenburg for a bit.
JordanHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike AugelloGUEST
And now you basically give him up in this deal to balance the books of the m- of the money on the deal.
Mike AugelloGUEST
And now you have, you know, Troy Stecher and Nick Blankenburg on the bottom pairing.
SylHOST
Yeah, and Stecher's kind of been struggling a bit so far [laughs] out of the gate-
Mike AugelloGUEST
Right
Nick KypreosHOST
... he's really good.
Sam McKeeHOST
So one of the lineup things for tonight that I'd be interested in, have your, have a conversation with, you know, fourth line, sixth defenseman that we love to talk about, Stecher's still in tonight, Blankenburg's still on the outside looking in.
Sam McKeeHOST
Surprised that we haven't s- had a look at Blankenburg yet here.
Sam McKeeHOST
Uh, the, the coach has a clip on it.
Sam McKeeHOST
Why don't we play that, and then we can talk about it next.
Sam McKeeHOST
Clip six, Derek, on, uh, the message to Blankenburg.
Jim HillerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, just to be patient, and, and Nick's been in this position before, and he's, he's always, uh, just been a good teammate, and sooner or later, you know, he's got in the lineup and played really well.
Jim HillerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I, I've had that discussion with him.
