#70, Dennis Rasmussen...opening night 2C.

The (frank) kind of number is that?

#70...really? That's disappointing. That's an AHL number.

I just bought a BBQ today. Putting a BBQ together is one of the most annoying and frustrating experiences. Although the amazing steak dinner made it all worth it.

Try putting something together from IKEA. Ridiculous.

That what it shows on the roster on the Hawks web site.

And Saturday.

yeah I heard that somewhere. Rounds 2-7

With free agency rapidly approaching, I'm not sure which I am more excited for:

Xbox hockey humors (Versteeg Khabibulin & LeBlanc for Tavares) or

the riot that happens here when the Hawks key veteran acquisitions are Steve Ott & Radek Martinek.

Fluerg.

He wore #40 in Europe and #12 for team Sweden, either would have been better than #70.

Edit: LA's "70s line" had already made an impact, Pearson wears #70.

Uhhmm. What?

30 Rock was always making fun of IKEA. I couldn't find the right video, but in one episode she buys a desk from IKEA's Flürg line. She can't get it put together right so they begin substituting the word Flürg for (frank).

Ahhh. Never watched the show. I have put together a couple of things from there. IF there is a record for the curse words in 1 hour. I had to be close to it.

Don't know, maybe different IKEA but no problem with this here. The only issue sometimes it's the lack of dowels. They usually ask to buy it because the walls are different.
P.S.: and is this hockey blog? any hawk rumors?

This is a hockey blog with a shelf life. After, say, 18 hours or so, it can devolve into damned near anything.

Do we have a new 2C yet in trade? How much of his salary is the team he came from retaining?

Noticed the location on your avatar; good fan club to be in.

He seemed to gain confidence as the season wore on. Hoping for big things from #28 this year.

Ok - back to hockey - just read Jason Lewis' Kings Blog from this morning - he said that in the 5 third periods in the series, the Kings outshot the Rangers 61 - 25.

25 shots for the Rangers in 5 third periods - 5 per game.

Rangers scored zero goals in 5 third periods.

Can't win many games losing third periods like that.

The Force is weak with this one. Please tell me it isn't a gas grill.

Fantasy trade proposal for the morning:

Sharp +TT + 2015 1st + Leddy for Malkin + Olli Maataa

The NHL buyout period starts tomorrow...

good article by Lewis. The other Lewis observation - depth and accolades for the 4th line and 3rd d-pairing and the emergence of Toffoli and Pearson. Please take note Q and SB and Toews and Kane
