How well did Ferland dominate playing against the Ducks? It is significantly different hitting a guy bigger and stronger than yourself than hitting someone smaller and weaker.
Is Engelland a better skater or puck mover than Bieksa. How many times did you see someone on either the Canucks or Ducks make big hits on Engelland?
Is that because Engelland is so shifty? or so good with the puck?

Ferland was injured.
Also, Vatanen is tiny and Lindholm isn't going to slow down Ferland.
