Rockford Files

Just from observing boxscore in today's season opening game - home game vs Manitoba

5-4 OT win.
Reichel 1 G, 2 A
L Philip 2G, 1 A

Rockford: Brett Seney (who?) With a goal and star of game

Galvas, Beaudin, I Phillips on defense. No Mitchell.
Soderblom the victory. Hardman, Teply. Slavin among returning forwards. The kid from Denver, the smallish center also played. Reichel 's brother, Kristan, who has three seasons AHL experience, not particularly a scorer, and brief NHL gp with Winnipeg - I looked up his history. Lots of representation for country as a junior but looks like limited ceiling for NHL Rockford surrendered too many shots against

Hogs' opener, down 3-0, win in OT!!!

Flyers beat VAN 3-2, move to 2-0!!

This Hawks team is pathetic!! Can't score any goals. Why would Kane and Toews want to stay with a loser team !

@BenPopeCST

Jason Richardinson said he played much of last season in Vancouver with a broken hand he didn't know about.

"Maybe my game wasn't where I wanted it to be, but there were also a lot of things that were just going against me.... I want to get back to what I was in Dallas."



This is worrisome. If JD is healed he might actually make the Hawks better.

SEE!!!! 2 short handed assists for JD. Not good Kyle, not good.

Captain just looks so much better this year. Don't think he's going to retire after this season

Blackhawks ignoring the memo from KD

It wasn't something I think anyone credible was expecting. He still wants to play.

Peak trade value?

Had to turn the volume off, whatever reason they are talking before the play actually happens

And a goal as well. KD trading his way out of Bedard.

Hope him and lafferty can build good chemistry and continue to over-perform. Cheap trade chips by themselves or throw-ins on larger trades

The effort this team plays with is a true credit to Richardson. There is structure and effort thus far. Like the speed of this team, said before, once more guys start arriving during the rebuild this team will be absolute burners. Unfortunately, we are a ways off too get overly excited, but nice to see the boys rewarded for their efforts.

Glass half full--- trade for that SJ goalie ... he looks situation-ally ideal for what we want to do.

I don’t think Kane is going anywhere. He wants to break all the Blackhawks records and he’ll be around for a few more seasons.

I don’t think the return for Kane would be as good as people think. A late first and a b-level prospect or 2nd round pick is likely. For that price the Hawks are better off keeping Kane around.

Toews will be dealt for an underwhelming return, maybe a 3rd round pick.

Think you may be right in terms of Kane wanting to stay and break all the Hawk records but when he is sitting a single digit goals at the halfway point in the season, he may realize that will not be possible with the crap he will be surrounded with.
