I meant, Elbows made a comment about Canucks fans and I replied, "I'm surrounded by them". It really had nothing to do with draft history of either club. Just a laugh at the expense of them

Remind me not to commit a crime with you. They cops would nab before I made it home.

I hear ya on being surrounded by them. My entire shift today was talking about Kesler
- wizardofi

Luckily I don't have to take too much grief from the Canucks fans I know, they're generally pretty fair.

I feel sorry for you. That would drive me up a wall.
- EKolb13

I finally told them we would trade them the new guy we signed that they didn't for Kesler

you figured at some point johnie "be avg" quick was going to have a shut down game....unfortunately for the boys in blue its tonight...

bring out the brooms....

Also, cause your not as spry as you once were.

(Had to go back to find this)

Disagree, Nester - he's squared himself up to every shot - certainly in the third, but in the second too.

He's just on his game.
- StLBravesFan

He has saved 2 goals where he just hoped his paddle would be in the way. The rest, the Rangers are shooting it low.

The kid has mad skill, he may look frail but give him a couple of years and a nice diet and he will gain a few pounds,

Another thing about TT is the fact he has elite talent, he's like a hybrid between Kane and Malkin.

I know he was projected to be a top 10 pick and if he had a bit more weight he could have gone top 5.

He was certainly one of the most skilled in his draft class.

His offensive instincts are amazing along with his hand-eye coordination. The kid is an all around unique offensive talent.

His hockey sense is absolutely amazing to boot. This kid is going to put up some amazing numbers next year if he assigned to the AHL or if he goes back to the SEL,

If he makes the Hawks he will certainly be a .50 ppg player, if he gets ice time and decent PP minutes.

The kid will be an NHL star without question.

This is why I would hate to see the Hawks trade him.

The only concern I have is where do you put him next season or the season after that...
- Tazer19

Maybe they look for a player that could put them over the top for next year and then TT will be more ready....That could be Spezza as I wrote today.

Hawks may not be able to stand pat this summer. Competition is fierce big names could be in play around NHL. Fox Chgo:http://bit.ly/1oDBYHR

I still drive as fast as I ever did.

Right now TT is a hybrid between Mikael Granlund and Erik Haula.

and since they have shown some expertise at the pro level even that is a stretch...
- wiz1901

That sounds about right.

I still drive as fast as I ever did.

The Stanley Cup Champion was determined on June 1.

I'm getting depressed again, and I thought I just drank my way out of it.

It has really died down since the team has become irrelevant

I hope the Hawk FO is playing attention.

Yep.

The Stanley Cup Champion was determined on June 1.

THIS

Which only depresses me further, since the Blackhawks would've beat those guys too...
- Tugboat

Other than Boston, the East is really bad.

Just checked the score.

So much for the Rangers.

...and the Cup will seemingly end with a whimper.
- ArlingtonRob

The Cup was decided last Sunday

*whooossshh*
- Elbows15

I know you're not a fan of Kesler. Is there a guy out there you'd rather? Should the Hawks stand pat and go with Shaw? Should Sharp be moved in terms of asset management to bring back a 2C or 2nd pair dman and another asset? Should Jimmy Happy Feet Hayes have been kept instead of Bickell?

I hope the Hawk FO is playing attention.
- Hawks82

Hope the skaters are paying attention - defense first - don't give up leads.

I'm probably going to attend the BHA meeting tomorrow, is anyone else going?

Hope the skaters are paying attention - defense first - don't give up leads.
- StLBravesFan

I still can't wrap my head around the Hawks blowing a 2 goal lead and two 1 goal leads on home ice. The 4 goals against in regulation were on the same play, no less. Get the puck on net with a body driving there
