Never said that and Keith isn't a physical dman either...The game has changed but the MO here is not going to change though and he fits the profile of a Keith, Oduya...

Seabrook is a big guy and physical enough but he and Hammer aren't as physical as many.

Never said Leddy was going to be a bruiser but he will grow like Keith has and not get pushed around....That's all that he needs to do and that's within reach.

His strength is to skate and generate offense and a bull dozer he isn't now nor will he be in the future but it doesn't mean Leddy isn't worth paying.

Agreed

Q...argh is anti EVERYTHING

Q'Stache is cool
- darkman

Gotcha....wonder what Arrrrrgh says about that

Not picking on Leddy but the comment I made before about his intelligence was not based at all about his school performance. Again, someone who is very close to the situation qualifies it as a legitimate concern and people have voiced concern within the organization. Some in the FO think he will be able to overcome and reach his potential, others are not so sure.

So is he a little slow between the ears or not ?

Gotcha....wonder what Arrrrrgh says about that

My guess would be 'Arrrrrrrrrgggghhhh' Mornin' Phil another great day to be a Hawk fan!

If you want an indication on Pirri's future, google "John B. Sollenberger" ....an award which is given to the AHL's top scorer.......Then look up previous award winners and look to see if there is any player in the past 20 years who has made any impact other than the amount of space they take up in a locker room. You will find 1 name....Jason Spezza. What am I trying to say? This award gives no indication Pirri will be any good, in fact it's kinda says the opposite......I'm sure the Hawks will give him a look, heck he may even play in a handful of games.......maybe a dozen or so but at the end of the day there is nothing there. If there are no additions from now until camp Shaw or Kruger will be your 2C and 3C....maybe they rush Danault up or another rookie because they have done it in the past but Pirri is not a serious prospect in the Hawks system.

But as Stanbo said the other day...how many AHL leading scorers were 21 when they won the scoring title ?

My guess would be 'Arrrrrrrrrgggghhhh' Mornin' Phil another great day to be a Hawk fan!

Q arghhh is pretty anti Hawks front office.


I've been asking him over and over and over again who he thinks the Hawks could have traded besides Frolik and Bolland to get 5 picks and 9 million in cap space ?

Then it's crickets from him....

2 Cups in 4 years and a .650 win pct.....no wonder you're hearing crickets Mr. P

I am slowly being won over by the front office. Taking that huge talent hit in 2010 and taking just 3 years to win it again sure shows they know what they are doing.

Maybe he should change his nick name from Q-arrrgh to Cricket!

Damn the falling cap.

Damn the small-market owners who managed to screw the Hawks again while signing players to outrageous contracts themselves.

Damn the big market owners (like Jacobs of Boston) who sided with the small market owners.

Damn the one big market owner who also seems to have sided with the small-market owners, at least with his silence and still female doges about losing money (which, translated to a full season, I don't believe for a minute).

I know i know.


I've given Stand and Q the business but maybe just maybe these guys have a clue don't ya think ?

These are the facts : every single team in the NHL has holes. Everyone of them. It's because of the Salary Cap and there are too many teams.

Our favorite team is the 1st cup repeater in over a decade. That's awesome.

Look at all these teams spending 6m+ on goalies !! Hahahahahahahahahahahaa. Crazy.

Goalies in the NHL should be treated like running backs in the NFL , use em up on their first contract then move onto the next .

Bulls GM fires assistant coach Adams, for vague reasons: Thibs is pissed his friend is gone.

Hawks have an assistant coach here, a friend of Q, who should be gone, based on the great PP he was responsible.

Why not trade Kompon to the Bulls for Adams: would make the two head coaches happier - their friends would still be in town.

Better make sure you have a Blackhawk-like defense in front of the first.

Cool you even gave it a Francophonic twist to keep everyone happy!

Thats why you take the extra non goalie money and get a real top 6 on D .

Jimmy Howard! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Howard
Price
Miller
Quick
Luongo


Only 1 cup in that group right ?

Makes you wonder what Crow's shelf life will be ?
- philco28

My bet is Crow prices himself out of the market not realizing his defense is a large part of his success.

Maybe he should change his nick name from Q-arrrgh to Cricket!
