Hawks of yesteryear: The place to talk/argue Hawks playing elsewhere

[hawksrule]

Yeah, I really liked Nordstrom's effort, but he's too small and really doesn't contribute in any way.

Nordstrom upto 9 goals and 12 a and+4...Desjardins has 7g 2a and is -7 ....Obviously kept the wrong guy...Desjardins more expensive cap hit this season but signed for another year at the hometown discount (not meaning his hometown but rather he took a big discount to stay in Chicago for 2 more years) whereas Nordstrom is RFA as his contract expires and probably gets a raise to cost much more than Desjardins next season ...But still Nordstrom the better return 9n investment so far this season.

If you think we kept the wrong guy you should reevaluate. Glad Nordstrom is playing well but he was garbage here and he is now getting top 6 minutes on a bad team.

Desi>Nordstrom every day of the week

50 is just looking for anything to complain about at this point. It is kind of sad.

While the world is not all rainbows and butterflies it is 100% not as bad as 50/BWC and some posters make it out to be. This team is really good and it sucks that they are missing out on the joy of having great team to cheer for and having it last this long. I actually feel bad that they are missing this. While it has happened in Chicago before (the Bulls) we should feel pretty lucky.

Nordstrom could have 15 goals playing next to Jordan Staal and I would still say Desi > Nordy any day of the week. Quit stat watching fiddy

Wonder why letenon isn't starter

Because he sucks just as much.

That didn't take long lol

He kind of got beat up last night by a Swede.

After 11 games Rundblad still has a higher PPG than Auston Matthews on ZSC. Also has a higher PPG than Kane when he played in the Swiss league. Lols.

11GP 2G 13A 15PTS

 

[Fortyfives]

First five games with Montreal Danault is -4 with 1A.

I was hoping he would be playing better, but that's just stats and I haven't seen him play outside of the leafs game.

He is made for the big ice.....and to piss in BWC's cereal.

More so quoting for the comment before the ellipse, but this.

Some players just can't convert their game to the smaller ice surface. The talent divide may also have something to do with it, though. Big fish in a small pond, and all that jazz.

...and minus 11 for 2016 on a team that is plus big time.

Sharp minus 14 for 2016 now.

3 goals in 26 games.

4 in 29 games last year (to March 8)

Seen this show before. His stat line is eerily similar to last year.

Talent is the issue. Rundblad would post very good numbers in the AHL. He's an AAAA player.

I can't disagree at all here, it's the reason so many teams took a chance on the guy. He just can't translate it to the biggest stage for whatever reason.

Sigh

I cant wait until he has one good game and BWC goes off about how terrible Stanley is.

The next time they play is against us.
Im just going to cry.
I hope he just gets walked ALL game so I can feel better.

 

[WarriorofTime]

About time he made his debut. Good luck to him.

That one was a terrible trade, so it's a pretty bad example to preemptively mock someone's criticism.

There is no defending anything with regard to Sharp trade

It has been disaster and the ramifications longterm could very well be terrible if Johns becomes what many believe he can be as an NHL defender
