Not getting ahead of ourselves there - just making the comparison.

Blues are enough for my elderly heart, body and soul to worry about now.

Game 1. That is it.

I found the site. Spent like a day lurking, then the Stalberg hate was apparent, and I came in and dropped his possession numbers in my first post and everyone but tomcat yelled at me.

There is still plenty of time to yell at you. yeah it is weird to think of my 1st times on this site and then posting. I probably spent a few years lurking before I started posting. I think most of you know what my 1st posts were about? . It sure got ugly around here with my trade Kane talk

I would have been all over you about that one TC.

It was (frank)ing infuriating...

However, I wasn't against trading Kane. It was the return you were looking for from it that drove me nuts.

Those were some fun times too.

I lurked a bit the previous season. A lot during the run last season. I almost joined to tell Ogie he was out of his mind about Sharp. And SteveRain about Bolland.
- Elbows15

Bolland and Keith sure got it the most on here. Well for the important and good players

I remember defending Beach on a few different occasions back in 2010. Boy did I make an ass of myself.

Sure go to bed before I could defend myself ok maybe there is no defense. Good night

There isn't. None. You don't trade PPG players. You build around them WTF. OK, I caught up.

- Elbows15

Yeah that would have been bad. at least I never hated him like other people did with other players. I was always a huge fan. It was for other reasons, mainly the Cap

Interesting Q said in his presser that the centers might rotate through, seems to me the wing pairings are set.

- Elbows15

Yeah that Was about what it was like then. You definitely have added a lot to this place. I wonder what it was like in 2006 or 2007? I wonder who the 1st posters were?

There was a phone conversation between US and I a while back...

US: What's going on with Elbows? Is he serious about wanting to trade Toews?
EK: I don't know? Could be? Then again, maybe he's serious...
US: Something's wrong with that guy...
EK: Yeah, you're right. (frank) that guy!


- EKolb13

This is pretty much verbatim....

It was a clean check according to Toews.

Now you have Tr Murray, who is old school and was quite frank, outspoken that a proper response was necessary.

I concur with Murray.

Hit me again, Blues team. I can take it. What, an arm/shoulder injury and Toews is out again. No worries. We will beat those bad mean Blues. We will show them.

Look I am just in favor of having some respect and dishing out some hits gains you respect. We do not have to match hit for hit. Just do not allow teams to steamroll us.

I think I have yo disable the program that guesses the words you type. And not be so quick to submit
- jhawk59

No.

Murray is exactly what you said "old school" and the rules he played under no longer apply. You concur with him so you basically disagree with the guy who took the hit...

Every once in awhile, you will see someone with an early join date. Not too many though.

Let's be honest, wasn't much to pay attention to from 1995 until 2009.

BTW, 19 and 88 skating today without any bracing or armor. VERY good sign. They will both be 100%. Book it.

Put no faith in anything Q says about anything, or who he lines up in practice. I think we see these lines for game 1:

29-19-88, 10-26 (to start)-81, 20-12-11, 52-16-28

If he doesn't then he is an idiot. Play the best players. Game 1 is crucial to win.

I understand what Q is trying to do with the veterans. I think most of us saw this coming. I seriously disagree with his line of thinking, though.

Morin outplayed Zeus by a country mile down the stretch. I also thought Regin deserved a spot over Versteeg. Hopefully Q won't hesitate to pull the trigger on a switch if either or both continue their non productive ways.

Lets hope.

I agree. I think the Hawks can beat the Blues with Zus and Versteeg but after that...The Avalanche, even though they are young will be tough.

This.




Also, this.

The Hawks don't need Mashinter to do this. They've got enough players on the team that are capable of doing this that can actually contribute in other ways at the NHL level.

- UnnamedSource

Ok, so I disagree. But Toews way is not so bad. I can accept that approach as well. Perhaps later someone will issue a nasty check

I wonder when this place started? I think JJ has a 2006 date. It is true there wasn't anything good to talk about then. Mainly a lot of draft and trade talk. Would be curious to see people debating selecting toews and Kane. I bet a lot would have wanted kessel and Turris
