All the people from the 815 area code are saying hell no to LU. How many cells phones do you have?
- PaulNewman

One. I didn't listen to Kuc's segment. But I guess I represent the area code.

Here is the way I see it............and most likely the wrong view. If we have to go through another scary season with Crawford in net whos Defence would you rather have in front of Cory, Subbans or Kanes?

This is why I was all in on Parise! The club doesn't necessarily need more or better Dmen per say, but forwards who play 3 zones. Parise is that in spades.

A commitment to playing D as a team, and coached that way with the sitting guys down who don't, will do wonders............ Was it Kane, Sharp and Kieth who were sat down for a period in Nashville the year they won the cup?

Q needs to get back to that mindset and insist on team D.

Again, as Ogi said I'm a wuss on this. Way above my pay grade and soooo many variables to compute. A kid like Subban who checks a lot of boxes (right handed shot, PP pointman, PK guy, grit, youth, salary, high ceiling, puck mover) Ever see him play the wars the Candiens have with Boston or NY. This kid is in the middle of everything, with no heavyweight to come to his aid.

Plec is a first rate #2 centerman, the kind the Hawks haven't been able to land in who knows how many years now.

Tough call...........

You sure about that? There is speculation that it is just the opposite.

Speculation? What's been said?

Yup, Desharnais joined Hamilton for the 2008/2009 season and he and Pacioretty played a number of games together there

Oh, ok. They played AHL together then............ Anything in the Montreal media about this rumor?

Two damn nice players..........

I'll still have hockey in Rockford.

I guess we all do, if you want to watch the AHL

I haven't heard a peep about it anywhere but here. The only talk about Subban right now seems to be whether hes looking for a 2 year deal or a longer one along the lines of what Gorges signed last season

For the record...I called you a wuss for giving up after reading only 10 pages. Where's your commitment to the HB team?

I'm fine with watching AHL hockey. I do it for 20 plus games a season.

Imagine all the Wolves jerseys you'd see at the UC.

Ek is answering questions for season ticket holders on the HB home page.

It's just Eklund spewing more garbage.

Hjalmarrson, Kruger, Frolik, Crawford + 2nd for Getzlaf & Hiller

How comical would it be if the Hawks traded Hammer to the Sharks for Niemi

Not (frank)ing funny at all in my book. More like pathetic.

Wouldn't be. Should have had both of them all along.

Almost as pathetic as Joe Thornton's 7 MILLY CAP HIT

That would fit the true definition of Irony.
