GDT: Presenting... "The Blackhawks Brothers" | Hawks @ Preds | 7 p.m. on CSN

Versteeg looked good. Lots of energy and some creative plays. I'm glad to have him back.

If that's an indication of what we're in for then that should be a pretty good trade for us. I hadn't seen much of Versteeg since the injury, but it doesn't look like he's hampered at all right now.

If only Brookbank wasn't in there. Roszival is back and Steeger's on the team and he still puts him on the ice over better, younger players.

 

[zac]

Toe drag.

It wasn't even that. He goes down to swipe at the puck then awkwardly kind of stopped his motion. I think had he gone through with it he would have got the puck.

 

[w00d]

He wouldn't be Versteeg if he didn't have at least one defensive zone turnover. Though my brain is not used to him wearing 23 yet. I still instinctively look for 32 even though Roszival has been wearing it for 2 years.

Versteeg looked good. Lots of energy and some creative plays. I'm glad to have him back.

Me too. He does have -2 on the stat sheet thus far though.

 

[w00d]

Me too. He does have -2 on the stat sheet thus far though.

2 & 7 are also -2. Not a great defensive period all around.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Q already got the random line generator out tonight?

Yup, 9 minutes in and it's full panic mode.

 

[member 151739]

Second period will be better, I'm sure, just for the mere fact that Crawford is in.

Second period will be better, I'm sure, just for the mere fact that Crawford is in.

Khabby wasn't the reason for turnovers , poor D and penalties

 

[member 151739]

Khabby wasn't the reason for turnover and poor D and penalties

He was still terrible.

 

[Canadian Wampa]

Khabby wasn't the reason for turnover and poor D and penalties

You have to expect a goalie to bail a team out every once in awhile...Khabby wasn't capable of that.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Were gonna win this game

 

[w00d]

There's a picture of Brandon Saad with a beer in his hand in the One Goal II book. What's up with that? Snitches get stitches.

 

[Sarava]

What the hell was Sharp thinking?

 

[w00d]

Good lord, Sharp. Free pizzas served hot and fresh!

 

[hisgirlfriday]

All those rebounds and no one at the net to put them in.

 

[Effe]

And here we go again. BP after 4...

 

[member 151739]

If Stalberg had scored there, BWC's head would have exploded.

 

[w00d]

Stalberg with a breakaway and no goal. First time I can say that I am glad that happened.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Ugh. Giving the Preds a 5-on-3 is not needed guys.

 

[member 151739]

It's always Rich Clune. Someone punch him in his stupid face.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Wow, joke of a game so far.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Bollig wtf

 

[w00d]

Saad is pretty good.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Watching with the sound off, why is bollig in the box?

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Still plenty of time to turn things around but these guys look terrible tonight.
