Pre-Game Talk: Kings at Hawks

[Panzerspitze]

Gilbert, please play well so in the future JC will feel less hesitant about scratching Seabs.

Just sucking less isn't enough?

 

[Blackhawks]

Gus is absolutely useless outside of the PP which is converting at 10% so yes you can say he’s completely useless at this point.

 

[Blackhawks]

Kane is going to wear the A tonight. Hopefully that'll spark him.

The best American player ever gets a sympathy temporary “A” once a bluemoon, shameful..

Housley, Chelios and Roenick have all retired. The best offensive player I'll give to Kaner.

 

[Muffinalt]

I just realized we are going to ice purely left handed defensemen. All six.

Gus obviously is an RD at this point, de Haan was fine on his off side (although his transition game goes from limited to downright bad) and I though Gilbert looked much better on his offside in the preseason. Even 4K was somewhat decent.

So we re not going to suffer but still I don't think I've seen a lineup with only left handed d before.

Seabrook ... Maybe he will come to his sense and retire ...

~30.000.000 million reasons AND a NoMoveClause say #7 might just get good & comfy watching games from the press box.

If Kane was to retire today, he would go down as the best American all-time..I don't even think it is debatable..Chelios, Modano and Lafontaine the other top 3...

LaFontaine was so good. Career ended way too early.

I've got Chelios just ahead right now. Love LaFontaine but he just doesn't have the individual awards or the cups so I put Kane ahead of him. He passed Modano long ago.

Forgot about Lafontaine. A career cut short by concussions, he was a dynamic player and would give Kaner a run for his money for top American offensive player especially if you discount the shortened career. He had plenty of hockey left in him when he was forced to retire.

It is times like these that I wish I still enjoyed football, baseball or basketball.... oh well there always the Mexican Grand Prix later this afternoon.

Yeah, I'm one sport now, too.
And weird the Mex Gran Prix ... other night looking for something to view on YT (no tv over a decade, no "sports radio" the same), stumbled onto a Crime In Sports channel, turns out at least 2 well known drivers (and teams) funded their ops w/ drug smuggling profits. One even won Indy 500 rookie of the year. Another, 24 hours of LeMans & Daytona.

Turns out there's a strong psychological correlation between racing & drug running, as it applies to risk taking. Who knew? ;-) (Tho I never put 2 & 2 together - always been a slow driver myself, me high risk even at low speed. )

Boy, I don't know. I love Kaner more than any other Hawk but Modano is right with him. Coin toss for me.

 

[AmericanDream]

LaFontaine was so good. Career ended way too early.

him and Kane are definitely the most skilled US players of all-time..Chelios was a warrior who has longevity...Modano transformed his game into a more defensive role to win...if he doesn't do that he might have been right there with Kane and Lafontaine for ppg...

 

[BrianE]

Let's get a win, Lehner between the pipes.

 

[BrianE]

This is the Strome & Cat we need!!!

 

[Krivo25]

4th line love

 

[BobbyJet]

Kane dogging it again.

 

[Krivo25]

More of that Gilbert, please.

 

[BobbyJet]

Just what the doctor ordered for LA, a dumb penalty.

 

[clydesdale line]

Wrong thread.

 

[Krivo25]

FFS get Keith off the PP!!!!!!!!

 

[BobbyJet]

delete

 

[Krivo25]

Not pretty but we will take it 2-0.

 

[Krivo25]

Great kill. I like Carpenter's game tonite. Lehner sharp.

 

[RayP]

Hey doofuses we have an actual GDT you know.
