DAMMIT....now I want chicken wings. Specifically anchor bar suicide wings.

You could probably get some shipped to you wherever you are. But do you have a good-enough microwave?

Thanks for retorting to me exactly what everyone else who's ever said anything about Adam Henrique has said.

You can even call me crazy, here and maybe I'm the only one who thinks this but Henrique is an average, responsible hockey player. He does nothing fancy or exceptional. He is the Medium size guy from the NES game Ice Hockey. Maybe you can try to spin this into "That's what makes him special" but no. He isn't.

He's also been on a team that redefined how you play defense at the NHL level for the past 8 years.

I don't think he's bad, because he isn't. But we'll see how he does in the Western Conference and where he ends up fitting into Anaheim's roster going forward. I'm admittedly salty because I don't think high of Henrique, he's a solid player if nothing else.

All that said. You don't win at Ice Hockey with a team of the medium sized guys. You win with the Skinny Dude (Evander Kane). So long as he's on the wing and you have a Fat Guy or two to break the other team's Skinny Dude in half. And to protect your Skinny Dude from the other team's Fat Guy.

Anaheim: 11 centers out of 19 forwards either injured or called-up; could trade 2 more defenseman and still have a solid blue-line. They have 1 legit winger. Not getting any younger and the Getzlaf/Perry "core" only has a window of a few more seasons, at best, of which, Henrique might not even be a part of unless Anaheim is already set on singing him long-term...

New Jersey: I'll go as far as to say I'm not surprised by the season they're having. Great goalie who was acquired at the wrong point in his career but hopefully has a few years left to have success with a young team that's just as far removed from the team they were 3 years ago as the Sabres, Oilers, Coyotes and Maple Leafs.

Funny how the team that tanked with dignity and the team tat played with dignity are the good ones from that group...

i didnt say henrique was great or a star, just saying that after watching henrique since his rookie year that he is better than you make him out to be. He is a more complete player and a leader on and off the ice which is probably another thing the ducks were looking for, and can play all positions

The parking authority in this city INFURIATES me. Plus everyone acts like they are better than everyone else.....they forget that just because they are a capital doesn't make them any less of an upstate NY city.

Just buy Frank's Hot Sauce, mix about a cup with half a stick of unsalted, melted butter.

That's ACTUAL Buffalo sauce. You're welcome.

Anchor Bar is trash but locally, people either love Anchor Bar and hate Duff's or love Duff's and hate Anchor Bar.

I prefer Duff's. Anchor Bar is trash. Most of the time, you'll get the best wings you've ever had in some rando bar on wing night: The oil is usually fresh on a Wednesday and they mostly do only wings in the fryers all night, so the taste is surprisingly fresh majority of the time.

The Anaheim Ducks operate with an internal Salary Cap and Adam Henrique fit that profile perfectly.
