What a surprise NYI loose in OT to Edmonton. I don't see P Roy able to lift NYI into playoffs. Some talent but not enough scoring. Their group is getting older and they always seem to have one or more top dmen out injured. Sorokin had not taken over as Roy has him sharing netminding. If the NYI decided to have a fire sale I like Pulock, Dobson, Barzal, Sorokin most

If the Penguins had a fire sale I am less enthusiastic about their players

And I have to suggest as for San Jose Sharks, when Askarov arrives maybe he won't take over as the number one netminder for a while

Watched the Rangers/Jets game last night. The Jets are playing really good hockey and they have a great goalie. The only roster improvement that they may need is to add a big defensive defenseman to help them shut down the opposition’s big guns. The Rangers have a good team as well, however they lack top end defenders. Fox is good, but not necessarily a stalwart defensively. Also, their 1C is currently a train wreck.

Just curious why you call Rockford a dreadful team? What makes them dreadful? Bad players? Too much youth? This is not a disagreement with your comment but only asking why you say dreadful

Fatty was referring to Montreal being the crappy team.

AA first shift gets a pass on the left wall just outside of the GR blueline, easily blows by the defenseman and scores on a backhander.

Just noticed a game started and he scored 28 sec in
Korch and Savoie with assists

Andreas Athanasiou scores 28 seconds into the game in his first appearance with AHL’s Rockford IceHogs. #Blackhawks

We should have paid Reichel more so nobody would claim him and we could send him down.

I know it's a bit heavy for an up front purchase, and it's all "minor league" hockey, but $150 for the Flohockey season package you get a ton of games, not to mention a bunch of other sports.

Flo has AHL+NCAA hockey right?
And even USHL? But no on OHL,WHL and QMJHL?

From what I've seen, they carry every league you've mentioned here. Again, they have tons of other sports as well. I haven't dug into the other sports yet, but the quality is really good, and tons of access.

Didn't know they had any other sports?
$150 for all the hockey leagues is a bargain if they have all games,though I'd probably never watch all of those leagues.

He's gonna be the 1st Blackhawk called up

Blackhawks' forward lines in practice. First line changes again, and looks like Martinez will play tomorrow vs SEA:

Kurashev-Bedard-Teravainen
Hall-Foligno-Bertuzzi
Donato-Richardinson-Anderson
Maroon-Reichel-Smith

Martinez-Jones
Vlasic-Murphy
Kaiser-Brodie

Allan getting scratched in favor of Brodie?
Wouldn't mind seeing Bert and Teuvo with 98

As long as they only sit Allan for a game or two. Sure he needs more development in his game, but he does a good job of keeping opposing forwards to the outside, and he does use his decent frame as well. I can eventually see him as a good #5 on a playoff team.

If he keeps doing that, he might fetch a draft pick.

Edit: Wait, his +/- was 0. WTF

Montreal - That was related to Dach. Sorry.

Commesso looked rough. Overall, Lev looked good, but played the second goal a little weak.

To echo others here - Savoie is so much fun to watch. There are no gears to the guy. It's either stop or full go and he creates a lot of havoc in the opponents end and neutral ice. I'd say Nazar is ready now. He gets shots off in dangerous areas, backchecks, forechecks and picks pockets seemingly every shift.

I mentioned this as fun bet earlier in the year - will the Bears or Hawks fire a coach first and the Bears won that one.

Can't imagine flus isn't far behind. What a debacle that is. At least Bedard is getting better.

I heard from a reliable source, a man who can read body language regardless of nationality, that Bedard is slow, has an average shot and is most certainly not elite, now or ever.

Hey wiz,

What is k Dach NHL projection…..his timeline. Is his skating an issue if it is flawed? I do see some bottom line forwards even early round choices four and more years back draft year, make the NHL as role players. This is the way I think Dach gets here

No he means Kirby. My sources are telling me KFC has proposed a trade of Nazar for K Dach.

I appreciate all the updates from you and everyone else here about the prospects. Gives me some hope for the future.
