Or it could be the 'flu' IE: the generic word they tell the media when the guy's really just got diarrhea or something.

My thoughts exactly

the g&m did their season predictions. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/spor...id=rss1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

jeff blair picks us to win the cup...of course, he has us winning over carolina - so you can come to your own conclusions about his credibility.

I think that teams with the banner raising have a hard time preparing mentally for the game. Add in Kopitar being out, and I think the Hawks eke out a 3-2 victory.

And don't forget Mitchell, the Kings best stay-at-home defenseman .

Also good luck in this season, just not this game .

sup guys, been a while.

I'm thinking this is going to be high scoring. 5-4 hawks. kane (2), bolland, hossa, shaw.

 

[luongo321]

Good luck you guys! Lay the smackdown on those kings! I hope Hossa beasts. He's such a good guy.

Go Hawks! Any news on Toews?

Go Hawks! Any news on Toews?

He is playing. Saad is a scratch though

 

[ClydeLee]

Ha, flu fighting an intangible now eh?

Since Jordan, it has been.

No Saad, how can we win without the overjumping prospect.
