very much so. Trust me. I want them going to the net too.

Don’t mind how that looks at all. Kubalik can drift the biscuit.

Nice give and go Saad and Wedin.

Was the complaint about Nylander not hustling? Im still waiting to see him take a shift off. It's preseason and he's working it

That 3rd line looks good

I tell you Gusto is who he is, yuck

500 goals is a generational player, he's backed his mouth up and earned the right to speak his mind.

Yet he's one of the most vociferous against the concussion awareness movement that's growing in the NHL.

Wow, the Providence Bruins just put 17 SOG on the Hawks in the 2nd period. Super!

On a positive note, Blackhawks have won 67% of the faceoffs.

Wait.....the Bruins lost all the faceoffs and still got off 17 shots? Interesting.

By the way, is your real name Arlington Rob?

Took more than 17, some were blocked or missed the net.

Uncanny.

He wants the Hawks to be terrible so badly so he can be right about Colliton

They have zero defensive structure

At least they'll be fun to watch

It seems that way sometimes. I hope that's not the case.

Yes. They're in dire need of Kampf's amazing ability to get the puck out of the zone

I read on the board how important faceoffs are to possession. This must be an exception.

Roughly half the Bruins' line up consists.of NHL.players while our line up actually could be opening night

It appears both Nylander and Wedin perform well enough to make the roster. Guess if another cut might be Wedin. But he'll get NHL time this season one way or another. Kubalik is almost a lock.

DeHahn reolaces Koekkoek when everyone is healthy.

Faceoffs are as overrated as Ogi's lamb shank.

Or maybe they'd have 27 shots that period if BOS won 67% of the faceoffs

Faceoffs, points and hits do not matter. We understand.

So why was Asimov's poor faceoff numbers always brought up when people ripped him?

It does seem like the forwards are doing a better job preventing clean exits. The biggest problem seems to be errant passes (Gus).

Nice job by Gus defending that 2 on 1. He’s clearly in mid-season form.

AA's faceoff % is relevant to those who are not up to date on the study of hockey.

I can't wait for Boqvist to take Gus's spot, i forget how much he sucks until i start watching games again

Don't worry, JC will indeed be fired at some point. Then you'll be right, eh?

I was unaware that the study of hockey says faceoffs are irrelevant

And I dont think they should have moved AA, for what it's worth
