Except that Fountain-San wasn't the cause of the original comments, it was GOA88. So in essence, the bigger problem (according to you guys) only showed up when JJ lashed out.

Not saying you're wrong here, but can we pls just let it be?

Good lord!

Now it's come down to who said what first? Cut the crap and go troll somewhere else.

i guess.
i look at it as a well constructed team. not stacked. it may just be semantics. but again the 80's oilers were stacked. all stars all over the line up. the Bruins while not as good as the Hawks are built the same. to roll 4 effective lines. that doesn't make them stacked.
- Fountain-San

In the salary cap era, any team who can go wire to wire in first place, set consecutive point streak records, win the presidents trophy, and go on to beat 3 of the 4 most recent Cup Champions enroute to winning their second cup in 4 years, all while truly rolling 4 effective lines...is a stacked team. Period.

Those roles were handed out by Q and he admitted after that season that he made some mistakes. Those mistakes were corrected in 2013.

I'm not saying Stalberg is a bad player, he fills the role of the "skilled forward" on the third line well. We all have our preferences, but I would take Frolik over Stalberg every time. Over 82 regular season games Stalberg may have more offensive output, but Frolik's value goes beyond points. If Stalberg's not generating offensive his value is limited.

Truth.

That guy isn't trolling. He's giving an opinion.

Let's cherry pick some more ... This year with Frolik having an important role and Stalberg being a spare part the Hawks won the cup. Apples to apples ... after further cherry picking of course.

That's considered "trolling" here if it differs from the clique-approved, "acceptable" opinion.

Good deal for the Avs IMO. Kid's a stud. Not looking forward to him in our division

I still think the Avs are a couple of years away from being serious contenders, but once they do they will be a force (not to be confused with being stacked).

Is this new? Because that is incredible. I think I like it more than unicorn picture

So kind of you...you know, to lie like that...makes him feel better, for a couple minutes anyway.

Why post a picture of Jake Guilenhall (sp?)?

No, I made it around the same time as the unicorn.

I knew you'd come through

I'm sure it has been said, but it mainly comes down to injuries and matchups. Would the Hawks have won the Cup facing the Blues, San Jose, LA, then Boston? Tough to say but probably not.

They didn't have to because some of those teams weren't good enough to make that far. You can only play the teams on the schedule.
