Figured I would go ahead and create one today. Don't know the Oilers lineup and I am guess that Khabby gets nod

Feels like a let down game coming (Back to back , Khabby playing and its vs a terrible opponent)

 

[HawkinMI]

Khabi start = potential disaster

However

Edmonton Oilers = definite disaster.

Hawks win 6-4, Kane goes super saiyan on that defense. Any word on who's starting for EDM?

Edit: Found EDM's lineup per their twitter

Perron - RNH - Eberle
Hall - Gagner - Hemsky
Joensuu - Gordon - Jones
Smyth - Arcobello - Yakupov

Ference - Petry
N. Schultz - Fedun
Belov - Larsen

Dubnyk

Still don't understand the Smid trade...

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This may be the Bulin wall's last stand if he does play

If he cant stop the Oilers then he wont stop anyone

 

[Cullksinikers]

Edmonton's defense is horrendous. Almost as bad as their front office personnel.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

A GDT made more than an hour before the game start? Now I've seen everything.

 

[Nothingman*]

Since we don't play until Thursday I am guessing Craw.

It looks even worse live

I hope we don't get embarrassed 6-1 or something. They've given us problems before.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Not worried. Gagner is hurt.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Not worried. Gagner is hurt.

He played last night with faceshield

 

[No Fun Shogun]

And before we get ahead of ourselves, let's not forget that this team has inexplicably spanked us a few times the past couple years.

Nobody is ahead of themselves. I think 99% of us are expecting a loss for based on games from 2 years ago

 

[Bring Back GLR]

I say we roll these ****ers 8-2!

 

[Fortyfives]

Craw is in.

 

[Bring Back GLR]

Toews and the boys need to roll hard in these clowns and show Lowe how a re build is done if course two Cups has already proved that.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

I've had an awful day of sports. Can the Hawks please salvage something and entertain me.

Who the fark are you to question Lowe? He's won more Cups than you have he clearly knows WAY more than you about how to build a winning team. You second tier fan you.

Just ask him, he'll tell you.

Lol, that's true. He won them all as a reliable stay at home defender while getting to play on one of the greatest teams in NHL history yet while re building the Oilers he has no concept of defence at all and keeps drafting pure offensive minded players.

his brag comes at 1:42

When I first heard that clip a few years back I kinda sided with Lowe cuz I didn't care for Burke, but now considering Lowe has been given every opportunity by the league and his own owner to turn that team around he looks like a complete fool.

Plus Lowe ripping Burkes track record is clueless, Burke is solely responsible for bringing the Sedins to Vancouver and helped that team to some decent success in the early 00s after missing the playoffs from 97-01. Then plucked Pronger out of Edmonton and got Scott Niedermayer as well and brought a Cup over there. Also calling Anaheim a "pathetic hockey market" is Lowe as in Kevin.
