Odd he was sent down for a forward or am I reading too much into that?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

This news makes me.... no, still too easy of a joke.

 

[TLEH]

Maybe means Kalynuk is close? Or they just weren't happy with forward play in the bottom 6.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

hard to believe how much Mitchell's development has fallen off...really thought he was a sure bet to be an nhl defenseman...and stillman now looks like the best young defenseman in the system, sports are weird

 

[Blackhawks]

Bottom 6 are horrible, Stan let Hinny go when he was leaps and bounds above all these bums, he also let Kampf go which was a workhorse on the PK and on the dot.

 

[WarLax]

With Hardman on the roster we have 15 forwards.....

Trade imminent?

Hope so, Strome for a dman potentially?

 

[BobbyJet]

I look forward to seeing if Hardman can make a difference. In my mind, he played like a true 4th liner last season. We don't need soft smurfs or players unwilling to pay the price on the energy line.

Good Riddance

Mitchell should have never sniffed the NHL let alone played 40 NHL games

Hawks were seeing what they had, during a nothing season. Mitchell should get heavy minutes down there.

That’s what I was thinking right off…

Strome to MTL for Romanov? Both pending RFAs. Or Strome for (wish) Chiarot? plus as he’s a pending UFA.

Strome to VEG for Whitcloud? Again both pending RFAs. Or Strome for (wish) McNabb? plus as again he’s a pending UFA.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Doubt the Habs move Romanov

Kid has bright future

doubt MTL or LV make either trade

 

[RayP]

doubt MTL or LV make either trade

He has so many holes in his game it’s hard to find a team outside of like Arizona or Ottawa who just don’t give a shit that would take him.

One thing certain, Bergevin will be rubbing his hands together if Stan comes a-knocking.

right, and even ARZ will probably not go the reunion route, could see Detroit taking a chance on him and flipping him for future assets

Some new lines at practice..


Hagel Dach Kane
Kubalik Toews Kurashev (same)
D-Cat Borgstrom HARDMAN
Johnson Gaudette Strome

Khaira and Carpenter rotating in

D-Cat demoted to line for tgec5x5 ...hopefully lines more balanced with potential for better 5x5 offense and size distribution ....tge weakest link =Toews?


Zero points -4 and xouid not musterxa shotvon goal last game ...his line was horrid last gamecand if he cannot drive tge bus at all anymore then He needs a benching.

So we shall see if tgese libe changes change the direction if the team...or not.

Things coukd not be worse...so JC had to try something else.


So tge #1line started out as smurf line but now has list 2/3 ofvtge smurfs...Hopefully Dach and Hagel can do things together and drag Kanecalong ...I hopectgeyvdo not defer to hom and pkay his game...rTger he needs to emulate their work ethicand start doing sone hustling back to check in his own zone.
Hopefully Hardman will disrupt on rge forecheck ,Borgstrom get the loose pucks then dislodged Nd feed Cat for open one toners..

But none of this mattersvifvtge D-corps fails to move pucks out ofvtge d-zone...


We shall see.

Oops...forgot Entwhistle...Still between Khaira and Johnson on 4th line ...Strome in white healthy scratch shirt with Gaudette and Carpenter.


Woukl rather he play with Johnson and either Gaudette or Entwhistle ...

It seems obvious that JC does not like sluggish players who don't play with an edge. Strome is that for certain....and Gaudette isn't particularly aggressive or fleet of foot either. I imagine that he will need to bury a few to gain a spot on this roster.

Right, he just likes sluggish players that can't play hockey.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Ian plays one game where he's the best defenseman on the ice.

How does JC respond? Scratch him until he's sent down for the answer to all our problems...Mike Hardman.

Throw JC in jail.

We score only 2 even strength goals after 3 games and our coach thinks adding another 4th liner, one with little NHL experience, is what's needed. And the GM went with it, didn't tell him "no, work with what you have".

The Hawks have two days off on Friday and Saturday, it'd be about the best time possible to fire Stan and Jeremy. You'd hope that Rocky and Danny are having conversations already about replacements at this point.

Who the f*** am I kidding? Nothing will happen.

JC doesn't care about even strength goals
