Perhaps I'm overstating with the excitement of finally winning but Dahlstrom is the closest to a classic stay at home, solid defenceman that Hawks haven't seen come along for a while.

I liked him when I watched Rockford play. Follows the KISS principle to perfection. A stable guy like him might be the medicine this team needs on defense.

That was evident with his playing the puck along the board with a few minutes to go. He didn't take any chance whatsoever of shooting the puck even just slightly away from the boards. Its little things like that which keep some s**t from happening.

When you watch Manning, Rutta and Seabrook play defense all year Dahlstrom looks like the second coming of Lidstrom

He looked really good though for just jumping into a game with no practice. Helps to know JC’s system.

This needs to be drilled in their heads. Has to be a team philosophy. Too often they make it harder on themselves by not playing a simple north/south game. This is especially true when you’re not a confident group and probably not getting an average share of breaks.

You going to the WC meetup? If so, we can discuss it there.

I’ve been thinking about it, wanted to see what the turnout ends up being. I’ve already met the main people a few times, would go if there are some new people. Maybe we’ve got something here, lol.

Didn't realize Dahlstrom was a 2nd round pick. He seems to have stepped up his game big time since last year.

Fun fact: Dahlstrom and Forsling played together with Linkoping

Wasn’t there another Dahlstrom in org that was a later pick or was it a never sort of similar? Same position...don’t think it was Dahlbeck but maybe

How about this in a few days when Forsling gets activated from IR.

Keith/Jokiharju
Dahlstrom/Murphy
Gus/Forsling
Seabrook as cheerleader occasional rotating in ala rosival when he was first signed.
Manning and Rutta waived and the other traded.
