[BobbyJet]

Another desperate team in Calgary who seem to always play the Hawks tough.

They better keep an eye out for Gaudreau who is quickly becoming a thorn on our side in his early career..

Also.. Calgary PP is 1-25... they are facing our terrible 9-21 PK. Yea something will give there.

I am thinking the Hawks will have a much improved penalty kill tonight. It has gone on too long for talent like this to continue to struggle like that. I am thinking tonight will be a turn around night for the Hawks. At least... I hope so.

 

[Blackhawks]

Another gruesome game to torment myself with coming up.

 

[BobbyJet]

No real surprises in the line-up, though a dman will be sitting. Kempny?:

Our noted 3C, AA, has been named the NHL's 2nd star of the week. Whatta bum.

I'll be at this one tonight

People don't understand AA is the perfect complement for Panarin and Kane. I don't care that he's a 3C. He probably is. But with Panarin and Kane, AA is 1C. Not everyone will have that chemistry with their free wheeling style. That's all that matters.

Rozsival in, Kempny probably out.

People implies it is more than one person who actually doesn't understand.

AA is a good 2C and a perfect compliment to Kane and Panarin. He needs to fix his faceoffs. I would be happy if he can get his FO% to 46-47%. He doesn't need to be Johnny at the dot but he needs to be better. Personally I think he is too high on his stick and getting lower may help. Similar to Kruger.

Rozsival could help in PK but he shouldn't play more than 10 games. I hope this is the first and 9 to go..

 

[piteus]

LOL. I got in trouble with the main board moderators for calling Matthews/Marner/Nylander "scarier than the Deathly Hallows" with the symbol ... that they are already locks for the HOF. The friendly banter was in response to the "Foliage Heads" claiming Matthews was already better than Toews AND Marner/Nylander will be just as good as Kane. Really!

Will the North Pole Cowboys be just as irrational about Patrick Kane Lite as their Canadian counterparts from the East? And I'm big fans of both Matthews and Gaudreau. But I think it's fun to harmlessly poke at the irrationality of fans. Lord knows we've all been emotional ... and it's evident on the Hawk's board too.

Have fun. It's just a game and message board. If you get too serious, you'll drive yourself CRAZY. So don't take even the "over the top" posters too seriously. They might be having fun too.

Break for Kempny would be my assumption. If that is the case there is nothing wrong with that other than Rosi not being good. Fine for an 8th D.

Rosi on 2 weeks rest is usually pretty good for a game. So who wheeled him out of the old folks home today?

I didn't watch the entire Leafs game, but Kempny appeared a bit loose with the puck in our zone recently. Perhaps he needs a break to recalibrate.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

In before the inevitable freak-out over Rozi playing.

I'm assuming Rosy draws in 10-15 times this year baring an injury or two and have no problem with it.

The Hawks and Flames should have an gentlemen's agreement with the referees that no one gets sent to the box ... and save all their fans the heartache.

 

[LordKOTL]

The Calgary PP and the 'hawks PK is like the resistible force vs. the movable object.

 

[BreadKick]

The referees should be smart enough to get that themselves

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Rozi WOULD play when I get to go to a game

JD: is there any replacement for War On Ice? Would like to see stats for example about high quality scoring chances etc.

 

[JustABlackhawksFan]

For some reason I actually didn't realize there was a game today. I thought it was tomorrow. Well this is a pleasant surprise, I suppose.

 

[JustABlackhawksFan]

Calgary is 30th in power play conversion. Chicago is 30th on the PK. Something's gotta give, here.

edit: I guess someone already pointed this out, oops

Oilers fan hoping the Flames keep losing. Keep Gaudreau and Monohan pressured and you should be fine.


Go Hawks!

 

[Shrimper]

I picked up Motte in my fantasy league on waivers today, is he a rookie?

 

[HaveYouSeenMyTaco]

Motte is a rookie playing with Toews and Panik + PK.

I highly doubt McJesus cares about mere mortals like Gaudreau and Monohan. It's also funny that you mention about pressuring the puck. The Hawks don't do that very well.
