Finally, Saad down where he belongs, he's streaky so hopefully this is the start of a streak.

 

[migi]

Saad LOL!

 

[Teemu]

Saad off the snide. Definitely seems to fit the best on this line.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Hopefully a confidence booster, even against their B squad.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Kane, ain't no thing.

 

[Krivo25]

Nice job Keith!!

 

[Teemu]

Hat tip to Kane, who has put in a pretty good effort in all of his preseason games

 

[BobbyJet]

Can we pretend that this is the regular season and Hawks look great?

 

[Krivo25]

Can we pretend that this is the regular season and Hawks look great?

Sadly no.

 

[AmericanDream]

Can we pretend that this is the regular season and Hawks look great?

I concur

 

[migi]

Kane is just... Wow.

 

[AmericanDream]

these guys at least look like they give a shit and have been embarrassed of their play last year...at worst this team is going to fight more this year, and our core guys look like they took a serious effort into rebounding their careers..the rest has to fall in place with Crow, Q, and the kids...but at least I can see a difference here then to end the year last year.

 

[TLEH]

Powerplay setup is looking way better. These are the same players that we've had. There is no excuse to not have had better execution and setups over the years. I will admit, I love what they're doing, but have been calling for this setup for FAR too long.

 

[AmericanDream]

so Johnson and Sikura getting sent down?? Surprised on Johnson, seemed Q liked him as a possible 3C...but seems to like Hayden-Kruger -Martinsen as a 4th line now,..

 

[Hawkaholic]

My third line would look like;

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

I'm glad you're not making the lines. That Kane line would not be good.

Only 1, Hawks need 13F

 

[AmericanDream]

Only 1, Hawks need 13F

are they going 13 forwards, maybe they go 8d?

 

[BobbyJet]

Gotta laugh at Edzo once again talking about blocking shots and gritty hockey, when he couldn't check his suitcase when he played the game.

 

[AmericanDream]

God Davidson looks like he has no hands whatsoever

 

[Hawkaholic]

are they going 13 forwards, maybe they go 8d?

They only have 7D right now, and I am pretty sure i read they weren't going with 8D and were going with 13F. Maybe they keep 3 goalies when Crow comes back.

 

[TLEH]

Man. Flashback a few years for Seabs! Skates to cover for Keith, breaks up the play, then is the first guy up the ice!

 

[AmericanDream]

yeah, the 3 goalies seems more likely which would mean 12 forwards...

You get 23.
13F
7D
3G

 

[AmericanDream]

You get 23.
13F
7D
3G

depending on the cap, most teams carry 22

we will see how it shakes out and where Crow is on the roster...

 

[migi]

You get 23.
13F
7D
3G

I think Powers reported at least twice that Q wants 22 player team.
