What’s with the aggressive PK?
- Chunk

Watching slightly delayed, and was just thinking the same thing. I don't think Win had a SOG, and we had a goal plus 2 other chances.

Close Darth, Maatta's partner. Seabs!

That would be me, very nice play but what's the expression even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while

I know. That was totally tongue in cheek. Just nice to see he CAN occasionally do that.

Unless the blind squirrels last name is sikura

I would like to see Toews center for Saad and Kubilak

I believe Sikura had assists last year, so really not the same, btw i think Sikura has better hands than Carpenter

Looks like we’re doing some forechecking tonight.

Perlini is so weak, i would really like to know if he actually works out, i just laugh how he crumbles from any contact

It's all good, I'd rather have a 4th line player who has a knack for the puck than one that is always chasing the puck

At least the 4th line is keeping WIN tied up and not allowing much.

As Q would say, I didn’t mind Carpenter in that period - a nice play or two in addition to the assist.

Good period & good special teams.
I like Lehner & de Haan in their debuts.

Hmmm...

9min for Keith...5min for Gus. Keith didnt look like he had to run around too much overplaying

He was also paired up with Seabs for quite a bit.

Trying to keep the positive mojo going tonight so I’m ignoring Perlini.

Yeah. Someone commented earlier (maybe last blog) about wishing Carpenter had better hands because the puck always finds him. Whenever I hear that, I think that there has to be a reason the puck always finds him, he's usually in the right place.

Carpenter is a lot like Desjadins was...but RH

Nothing special but hes hard to play against/competes in all 3 zones for the puck. And can win draws as a RH center which they Hawks lack. And for less than a mil

Good start!! Liked how de Haan challenged in the neutral zone on a couple of plays. Man is Lehner a big dude!! The boys are definitely playing harder tonight...…..so far!!

I was just about to mention that Keith looks a lot better this game...I wonder what's different?

Pretty good 1st period...I wonder what the lines will be in the 2nd?
