I answered the question first. We must be on his pay no mind list.

Showcasing Handzus?

Am I the only one who remembers him scoring a penalty shot breakaway goal that saved the Hawks life last playoffs?

Seriously though, no he's not a saviour he has a skill set that the Hawks no longer have and deperately need, an energy forward who knows how to play defense and who knows how to kill penalties, both severe weaknesses on this years edition of the Hawks.

Paul, isn't it late for you to be on here?

Nostalgic, maybe we should try to see if Nick Boynton is available too. He won a cup and has a skill set we do not have either.....

For a bag of puck? For the bag skate this team so richly deserves. Think "Miracle" and Herbie. "Again"/

The defensive efforts vs Bos/Ana were excellent. The last 4 games not so much even though the team did only allow Minny 2 goals.

55 games in, these guys might just be bored of regular season hockey...after last season's whirlwind 48 in the reg and magical 23 in the playoffs.

This!!!

Heard there are scouts from Museum of Natural History's Prehistoric dinosaur exhibit. In their newsletter, experts say Hanszues best player from the Paleolithic era. ONly one left. He's like Craig McTavish ....

These Islander uniforms make them look like they all shop in the "husky" section.

I have no issue making Bickell a healthy scratch. That's one benefit of having Pirri up with the big club, Q has the option to make a move like this.

Or maybe Bickell has been dealt????

Ehem. *clears throat*

Sorry Ogie...thought i thanked you on the last page...but didn't use the words.

THANKS BRO

Plays, doesn't play...Bicks' impact at this juncture is negligible

So The Sabres have this goalie who is playin out of his mind right now on the 30th team in the lague standings...no matter what he does the rest of the team can't win it...hold a team to 1 goal...lose...stop 48 shots...lose.
Sounds like the Hawks would be best served getting that lock-down goalie who plays 60 minutes rather than a # 6 D-Man who will play...12 - 15.

Need grit? We have this Captain who never quits, steps-up from his team mates, will score 20 on a tema with absolutely no offensive talent ... oh and plays on the 2nd PP and on the PK.

Sounds like a call to Sabres GM Tim Murray is in order!

We need offensive players, prospects and draft picks ... make a deal.

Bickell, Crawford, 1st, 2nd for Ott and Miller (reduced cap), condtional second if they both walk (their second more likely than not 31st pick

Why are the Hawks giving picks for rentals? Should be the other way around.

To unload two contracts that will phuck the team. that 4X4 and 6X6 are going to look like crap when neither of them have good years after only being proven in one post season, albeit a Stanley cup winning one.

Plus I think both would sign better contracts to come back and play for the hawks than bickells and crawfords. Ott would be less (3.3ish maybe) and miller would probably be around 6 but can stand on his phucking head thats for sure.

yeah it didn't smell very good around there back in the day..

On a bad nite you could smell the stockyards at Sox Park.

Ott is going to get more than Bickell. Miller is 33. And he will want more than 3 years.

I'd rather have 3 twenty year olds than one of 60.

Amphitheater at the Stockyards - 43rd and Halsted.

Saw the Stones there is '66 or '67 or thereabouts.

I saw Bobby Hull play there with the Jets against the Cougars in the early 70's. Got to meet him after the game, too.

Lord, let me NEVER AGAIN see an interview with Hefner in his pajamas.

This game in Yankee Stadium is going to put me to sleep.
