GDT: Hawks Vs Jackets - 7PM CT on WGN/NHLN -- Kunitz Visits Retirement Homes

[Toews2Bickell]

Anisimov also looks like he's moving better than he has in a while. Hasn't been the same since he messed up his knee a few years ago, but he's looking 100% again

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Nice, Arty, Martinsen, a couple guys who take a lickin' then keep on tickin'.

 

[migi]

Seabrooks first passes are world class.

 

[Krivo25]

Top shelf baby!!!

 

[AmericanDream]

actually seeing some cohesion and consistency here...good for Q to keeping lines together, guys are looking more comfortable with each other and expecting them to be at certain parts on the ice.

you know expectations on this board are low when Q is applauded for keeping lines together for one preseason period

 

[Hawkaholic]

3rd line scores both goals lol

Seabrooks first passes are world class.

Love to see a goal and assist from Seabs in that period. He really is looking like his old south out there.

 

[Hawkaholic]

yeah I just don't want the kid getting rolled up and down all the pairings...nobody at this time can be any better at RD, keep him there and let him work and play through his struggles if they come..I just do not want to see Q drop him down and bring Seabs up and hurt this kid...

I think giving him sheltered minutes with Keith is best for him. Put Seabs with Keith every 4th or 5th shift.

At the risk of POing everybody here ...
I know Edzo's connection to healthcare stronger than most & thankful his current situation good but ... Could/Would it be okay to just have as a given we all want anybody who's sick to get better? And not to have every game 4-5-6 "shout outs" to people in the hospital?

And if I never hear the word, "Partner" again during a Blackhawks broadcast, it will be too soon.

I know I know ... I'm a cold-hearted evil petty, bastard w/ nothing better to do than bitch about REALLY unimportant stuff ... And actually I AM thankful that this even annoys me - lots more real life stuff to matter.

well Keith is going to draw the Matthews, Getzlafs, Ovi, Crosby's of the world...so not sure how much sheltered they will be, but I have no probs with Seabs stepping in from time to time...

They've been doing the shout out things for a long time though, from people they meet on the plane to sick folks etc. On the one hand illness really bums people out, including me, on the other hand it reminds you that this is just a hockey game.

Their rhetoric gets tired, real fast.

Who else should go on the 3rd line? It's going to be awful no matter what.

My third line would look like;

cat-toews-kahun
hayden/sikura-Anisimov-kane
saad-schmaltz-sikura/hayden
johnson-kruger-kampf

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Kahun needs to shoot the damn puck, jeez.

 

[AmericanDream]

Edzo just said Tortorella is a class act.....that is John Tortorella Blue Jackets coach...who texted Edzo with well wishes for the Foleys...my lord he must be a completely different man away from the ice than the POS he is behind a bench

 

[AmericanDream]

they both are really laying into to Saad...which I love!!!

 

[BobbyJet]

40/29 doing some fine grinding.

Actually, he is.

 

[BobbyJet]

Kahun shooting right at the goalies numbers. Hope they don't teach that.

The one thing I think is his weakness is his shot.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Soft plays, indecisiveness are products of roster turnover, player politics, but mainly coaching. Right now it seems like the game plan is okay but the who/how of execution is lost on a lot players.

 

[Krivo25]

Saad SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO needed that!

 

[AmericanDream]

Monkey off the back for Saad
