Agreed, too bad he couldn't have gotten it tonight, would have loved to see him get his silver stick tonight at home.

Will they give it to him on the road or wait until he gets back? Can't see the crowd being too appreciative if its in Detroit (on the flip side, as I will be there I'd like to see it).

Why has Saad been demoted to the 4th line? Every time i've seen him play he's been amazing

Q always shuffles the lines, Carcillo occasionally gets the bump to be an agitator/enforcer when the Hawks play physical teams. Funny thing is that I think Saad and even Shaw are just as scrappy as Carbomb and both are more talented.

They will have a ceremony next game after in Chicago with his family, probably a painting or something, but IIRc it will also be presented to him in Detroit, low key. I have seen it happen but don't know for sure if that is the case all the time or up to the player. It will most definitely be recognized in some way.

The Hawks will definitely do something for Hossa at home, but I want him to get the silver stick from the PA at home too. But if he plays #1000 in Detroit, he'll probably get it there.

"The Jackets are missing half their lineup tonight.
You screw this up and you'll be driving the zamboni between periods in Rockford!"

Thanks for the replies guys.

Hopefully he finds his way back up in the top-6 I loved watching him, kids a battler
