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

[Kawzee]

Smith with a 2 point night in 16 mins of ice time.

You could tell that goal meant a lot to him as well. Happy for him.

In off-ice, ex-Hawks news, Saad's been working to try to rescue Syrian family members from the civil war and bringing them to the United States.

Honestly never put two and two together about the Syrian Civil War and the impact it might have on Saad. Knew he was of Syrian-descent, but never thought about it until I saw a topic about this on the main board.

Thanks for the link NFS, a poster here mentioned this immediately after the trade and said Saader left for more cash as he supposedly needed (guess more doesn't hurt) it to bring his relatives here to the US.

An exceptionally nice guy who tried his hardest when he was here. Unfortunate that he became a cap causality, and then got a concussion in San Jose.

Meh.. he also was very lucky. Got his name on the cup with a ring playing only a game in the SCF. I'm sure Smitty would take that tradeoff anyday.

LOL ... Versteeg scores another as LA rolls along. Play hard boys.

And THAT'S the guy I wanted at the deadline to play on the top line. ####!

With all the damn talk about the chemistry being messed up cause of the new additions, why the heck wouldn't we get him? I can't help but feel a burning sensation on the back of my neck every time he scores for....."them". Need to stop watchin' K**gs games.

Versteeg ahead of Ladd? Come on.

You must love punishment.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Kris "grass is greener on the other side" Versteeg

Is there a guy that people get more excited about the prospect of joining the team and then get so excited about trading once he's on the team than him?

 

[Hawkaholic]

Versteeg will be a key cog in LA's run this year, you can bank on that.

 

[Sir Loin]

Not in terms of skill, but in chemistry. Plus my OCD which comes and goes dictates that I must have a righty on the left side. And further, Steeg's one of my favorites. And now, he's scoring for the bad guys.

Well he wasn't last year for the Hawks and he didn't fit on this team anymore.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Looking at Stan's pitiful summer returns on Sharp and Steeger at this point is just too much

Would have rather thrown away asset on another year of Steeger then the Weise

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Of course.

I fail to see how that has anything to do with what I said.

Flash and Weise were a package. Meaning you couldn't get one without taking the other.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

BS

Habs were trying to move Flash for a pick at deadline

Could have very easily gotten him without giving up Danault and taking Weise

 

[CptnSerious]

Weise is going to be a big part for us come playoff time.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Weise had 1:33 in TOI 1st period, which was a team low. Mash had 2:22. He's not getting ice time. Who in the hell knows why.

 

[ndgt10]

Q should have told bo he didn't want Weise

I recall hearing somewhere, maybe tweeted, that the Canadians were shop[ping them as a package deal. If I find it I'll post it.

You have no clue if it is BS. Other than the reports of the package nothing has been released. Not shocked that you are acting like we gave up a lot in Danault.

Stan is a top 3 gm and is making millions of dollars, how mad does that make you? Rundblad makes a million dollars as well and probably swims in he money like Scroog McDuck with a huge smile and a super model girlfriend. I really do wish I could photo shop this)

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Reading the Hayes thread on B's board it seems pretty clear he is not loved by fans

Poor year and his usual issues seem to still be major problems

Hayes year

69 GP
13 G
16 A
29 pts
-10 (Worst +/- on team)
13:00 ATOI

No pts in last 10 games ,, Just 3 goals in last 30 games

 

[BrianE]

Johns with his first.

 

[Sir Loin]

Stephen Johns gets his first NHL goal, ties the game up in the third for the Stars. :/

And Scuds .......i know they are heavily favored to end up in WCF but i still think they can be upended by the Ducks. Just never know still have to play the games.

Nine games in with the Kings, Scuderi is averaging 20 minutes playing alongside Drew Doughty, and he has amassed 4 assists and is a +6......wow.
