Allow me to clarify. On the old board if I liked what a person posted and did not have anything to add, I would usually reply with a one-word post, simply "Agreed". Now it isn't necessary. I simply click "like".

It's increased the comedic factor too, which I like. Though some people try too hard and it looks stupid tho still funny in its own way.

Imagine if there was a "like" button for your wife. Life would be a lot easier. Instead of getting into a long drawn out conversation, you can just push, 'like.' Of course, if you don't always click it, she'll wonder why ... that's trouble. While we think it's simpler, it gets far more complicated.

That would be... interesting...

on a total side note, i just am amaze, sometimes when someone post the like button. i have always thought i was really radical in my opinions on things, all things that i do not agree with.

i am completely dumbfounded at those numbers.

:huh:

Charlie Sheen had the right solution with two simple words "I understand". At least it worked on TV.

Looked like Schmaltz was on the receiving end of a Manwich with that hit.

Get well soon man!

Yeah, it's good to talk sometimes though.

Any word on whether Schmaltz will be back in action tomorrow?

None, yet. But that was the initial expectation from Q in his presser the other night.

Apparently Schmaltz is not playing today https://leftwinglock.com/line-combi...am=chicago-blackhawks&strength=EV&gametype=GD

However, Q is hoping he'll be ready by Saturday.

BK · Oct 12, 2017

Schmaltz is skating this morning so that is a good sign overall.

ColdSteel2 · Oct 12, 2017

No rush, off to a good start, let Schmaltzy take a few more off.

That is definitely good to see. I'm assuming he's going through all the concussion protocols with that news. Cleared to skate, but not cleared for contact. In the next day or so he'll be cleared for contact, and he'll play Saturday.

No reason to rush him back, either. It's 4 games into the season. I'd be ok with him missing Saturday too.

If "upper body" is code word for brain, I'd sit him Saturday too. Let's not take any risks. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Yeah, don't want him going Toews and playing like a zombie at this point.

SAADfather · Oct 12, 2017

That does sound like it could be the c word. Rest him up until he's 100%

Can someone explain to me what is "shiner" :huh:

Yeah I'm Finnish, still.

Just slang for a black eye.

Was hoping he'd be playing tonite. Hawks have looked of - particularly 88 - with Schmaltz out of the line up.

Kane is good for a few of those 'I'm disinterested' games every season. Unfortunately after such a blazing start the first two, he's looked that way for these last two.

Rooh · Oct 12, 2017

Hopefully he comes back vs. Preds, it's hard watching that Kane line right now.

It would be great to have him back, but one player shouldn't be making THIS much of a difference.

The makeup of that line needs to change without Schmaltz there. If he's not ready to go, then one of Hartman or AA needs to be moved off. You can't have only one play-maker on that line, it's too easy to shut down.

Sometimes a player goes down, it's as easy as swapping in another guy to fill the hole. Sometimes it requires a realignment of the skillsets on that line, and that means moving more than one player around.

How we haven't put Cat with Kane yet puzzles me, especially with Schmaltz out.

Cat and Sharpie have looked great together, that's probably a big reason why.
