Maybe a regular season tradition but let's not mess with success for the playoffs.

I do think I'm a Huge reason they won the Cup I should get a ring. I'm not going to do anything to ruin it. We are going to repeat. 3 Cups in 5 years

Stanton?

Good point. And can't forget about our new favorite Kesler

Wow Paul,
The new Swedish guy hasn't skated so much as 1 shift or 1 second of ice with this Blackhawks squad --

You're relying an awful lot on Wiz's scouting report.
You may be right but I'd sure like to see some body of work with this squad before I jump to that conclusion.

Wait wait wait....I posted what wrote prior to his draft, and I like you need more than the 12 games he played for Phoenix for me to buy koolaid...
This is more about a strong organization of prospects gambling a second that they may be able to make a kid they liked before his draft year into a pro...or not.

Please let me see him in 12 games as a hawk before I make him the heir apparent to an established Hawk defenseman.
and the way Brookbank played tonight Rundbland may not get the call on Sunday over him....

What are they saying in Van about Gillis' horri'awful beard/goatee/dirt splash ?
WTF is that ????????
- philco28

Ahh yes that, people have called it a number of things. The most memorable one though has to be the scrotee.

If Bickell poops the bed in the PO's, we are stuck with him.
- Q...argh

and it is still a very easy contract to trade....


We do agree that you don't send four rosterded guys for Kesler...unless the rebuild here is starting....

Troy Murray once scored 45 goals. Once. As did Kesler. once. And that was 4 years ago,

and if I recall Troy Murray has to superb linemates

If you didn't notice him, then I'd say he did better than your expectations.

Elbows go look at the guys better than Eichel...and I love Eichel...but there is a real nice strong group after MCdavid and Noah may part the sea and end up close to going before McDavid...nah

I bet there is a new blog and I am the only one here again......

Only saw the second period, but based on that....

Nice if this was the first game of the rest of the year.

I thought Rundblat was going to aka the tonite?
- StLBravesFan

Three games in a row with solid efforts Sage. Need to keep it going.

personal preference Wiz. Big, talented centers don't come around every day.

The first game I watched Eichels, he jumped off the screen. At the time, I didn't know it was him.

No. the Hawks won in convincing fashion. Usually quiet after that.

Yeah he has good feet, and is a comer the way he attacks.

Hey whose the expert out there...I want to put up a picture in the message.

I have no clue how to do it...someone helped me get the my 60's hawk bench as my "name photo"...I forgot who.

PM me

What are your thoughts on Mathew Barzal?

Per ProHockeyTalk...

Bookmaker has Blues as 5-1 favorites to win the cup.

That should doom 'em.

That place. Game 7 in 71. They somehow managed to get the feed for the game. Started to gather to head there to watch. By the time we got there Hawks were losing. It was pure agony.

Blues do look formidable, but I think either the Hawks or Kings come out of the West

The West is a total crap shoot. Any of 6 teams have a serious chance. And all 8 teams will matter. There are no easy outs for anyone.

Good game in SJ. 3-2 pens on nbcsn

I agree. With a Canucks fan. Yikes.

We're not all D-bags.

Toews just happens to be my favourite player.
