Hopefully the Hawks come out and don’t try to run and gun with the Avs. If they do, Fleury might be thinking why in the hell did I report here? Hawks need to play smart!!

DBC was probably wetting himself

Jones said he thought his last preseason game went better.

"My feet were moving a lot more. Forget about the points, just my overall defensive play and my vision on the ice and transition game was a lot better. I hope I can [carry] that into today."

I am wondering who are the announcers for the Hawk game tonight on TNT?
- spanky

Panger is one announcer and Albert?

Gonna be like Soderberg last year:

Erik Gustafsson is still waiting on immigration documents, so he's unavailable to play right now. #Blackhawks

I'm wondering if this depends on how ready Reichel proves to be. If Reichel can approximate Kubalik by midseason, and a good return is available, the trade could happen.

We need more good Forwards not less. It's the Saad argument from two years ago.

Strome, Gaudette and Gus are tonight’s scratches.

Carpenter > Strome, Gaudette, even Nylander, Oi Vey!

Kinda blows my mind that every time the Hawks have a guy who is good and actually "develops" people want to trade him. Plenty of teams have found ways to ice full teams with higher contracts. The Hawks will be no different, but you have to actually keep the good players if you want to contend with those higher contracts.

Even if he is a 3rd liner.

Competitive advantage with him on the 3rd line.

Ummm the whole purpose of the game is to make trades, isn’t it?

I was wondering why i liked how the Rangers were playing defense, well except that last play, didn't realize Gallant was their coach

That was short lived but at least you can see the structure he's trying to create

How’s the BP? No salty snacks or any 🥃. If it gets too tense turn the channel and turn on your diffuser, mine is all set with a lovely lavender.

I turned on the Ranger Capital game at your recommendation, ahhhh what structure exactly?

Fixed that for you. Also, about to pour me a glass of brown.

Beautifully written! I'm doing much the same, except I have bourbon in the (frank)ing diffuser.

I have to admit the Trade Deadline is one of my favorite times of the year.

Yep, great structure! I doubt there will be comments on the lovely Hawks structure if they give up five tonight.

The Nylavender will lower BP by 20%.

I’m all set. The sphygmomanometer is beside me, the cuff is on, I have a pregame reading of 130/75.

Wonder if they are going to call as many penalties in the Blackhawks game tonight? Rangers and Caps they are calling everything

If they do it will obviously be JC’s fault.

You call yourself a fan with numbers like that?
