GDT: #60 – Blackhawks at Sabres – Sun Feb 19, 6:00PM ET – NBCSN

[Ralonzo]

Someone tell erod hes not supposed to be aggressive on the pk

When it's 5-1?

Or is that a Bylsma crack that allllmost slid by me?

 

[Gordo21]

Ya, nobody is confused about your stance.

I am getting a little tired of seeing Patrick Kane showboating in our building though.

 

[joshjull]

Yes, but clearly they have nothing left tonight. They did admirably for such a compressed stretch of games.

They did but its frustrating that injuries and the grind caught up tonight.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

No to Kulikov regarding next season....

 

[CrazyPsycho]

I thought dan might give des a retirement shift there but nahhhhhhh

 

[CrazyPsycho]

No to Kulikov regarding next season....

Agree, we need a more consistent type

 

[Gordo21]

Agree, we need a more consistent type

And who was good tonight?


Too many snap judgments around here.

 

[Gabrielor]

We have a long way to go to be in championship consideration....

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Oh, he's consistent! He consistently makes no look passes and clearing attempts that end up on the other team's stick.

He can be counted on for that and more......

Who said i made that decision tonight?

Spending 5-6 mil on a no4 dman is not how to do things

 

[joshjull]

No to Kulikov regarding next season....

I thought he had a tough night to be sure. But he played his off hand with Gorges. Not a recipe for success for most dmen.

 

[hizzoner]

Well tonight's game has resolved something for me. The playoff dream I had is gone. Too many teams to climb over and little likelihood of so doing. So--if there are deals to be made that will help the team at the expense of this year-go for it.

 

[Gordo21]

Probably not, I agree

You aren't from Western New York, are you?

 

[enthusiast]

You just know those hawks fans have briere and drury slug shirts at home

I was telling my brother in S. Buffalo just last week that I though Kulikov has some upside. He disagrees and now, I just want to say good bye to Gorges, Franson and Kulikov.

 

[joshjull]

We have a long way to go to be in championship consideration....

Think of how much different our bottom 6 looks if just 2 of Sam, Girgs and Larsson are playing let alone all of them. We have things to address but I wouldn't get too down on the team after tonight.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

That sucked to watch, but I'm not putting too much into it as being demonstrative of the bigger picture. Team was just straight up ******* gassed. Time to get some rest and gear up for the stretch.

 

[joshjull]

Its worth remembering that due to his injury he has to go through iirc 45-60min stretching and exercise routine every game day to loosen up his back to play that night. He also rarely practices because of it as well.


We were royally ****ed by that freak injury

 

[Icicle]

I hope this brings everyone to their senses and Kulikov and Kane are traded for futures/ hockey trade. We're missing a good chunk of our forwards right now and Gorges is like playing down, considering both Falk and Fedun have shown they're better in every way.

Kulikov is a pending UFA. So he should probably get moved. But Kane has another year and as such wouldn't be a rental. He also has a cap hit almost no playoff team could fit without sending salary our way. Basically we aren't going to get best value trading him now. Nor is there a need to move him either.

What does this have to do with wanting to trade kane for futures?

 

[AustonsNostrils]

I think Murray has to be a cold hearted sob next year and players like Moulson and Gorges, maybe Ennis too, get sent to Rochester.

 

[sincerity0]

I know Kane gets a big following for being from Buffalo, but I am amazed at how many "Hawks" fans are at these games.

 

[hizzoner]

I would trade Kane but only because he will want more than we could afford when his contract is up. BUT it would not be for pieces--he could help us a lot next year if he is not dealt.
