Power Rankings

“The top line of Zach Parise, Adam Henrique and Ilya Kovalchuk cannot be stopped.” -Pierre LeBrun

So, how many of you, show of hands, thought you’d ever see those words strung together at any point ever in your lifetime?

I think the question would have a larger effect if you added “from Pierre LeBrun” to the end of it.

It would have a head-asploding effect if Burnside wrote that statement.

LeBrun is no sage, but at least he attempts to be informed on matters of Devils and gives credit where it is due.

Does anyone else worry that Larsson might be distracted tonight by the passing of his grandmother?

I realize dealing with adversity like this is part of the growing process, but he’s 30 games into his career playing heavy minutes. Would it be a smart strategic gesture of PDB to possibly shave down his TOI tonight unless totally necessary?

I doubt it will be a distraction. I think professional athletes have a knack for leaving the real world behind them when they get out onto the ice to play.
