An who the hell's voice is it shouting "Hawks win!" in these commercials? It's sure as hell not Foley's and he sounds like absolute junk. Is he the radio voice for the Hawks now?

Handzus looks terrible. There is no way the guy can handle an 82-game slate and should be relegated to fourth line duty. He no longer can consistently play well on the second line of a team that has successful aspirations.
As I said earlier, Rozsival is taking too many penalties. He has been a very lethargic and lazy player for us so far. He is making way too many mental mistakes, one of which is not being engaged.
My beef is with the veterans of this team. I'm not opposed to a few young guys getting a few more chances to inject even more life into the club.

It was a shot most goalies would save, Oduya didn't screen him, pushed him to the outside and Bulin wasn't in proper position to make the save.
Handzus is such crap and Q is an idiot for continuing to play him on the 2nd line when he has proven to have no chemistry with Kane and is too slow. The fact that Pirri is on the 4th line while Handzus is on the 2nd is completely baffling to me.
Bickell is best suited on the 3rd line IMO. He is a great even strength player from there and makes the Hawks a deeper scoring team.
Roszival and Brookbank are crap. Laughable that Stan gave Rozy a 2 year deal at his age when we have possible cap strap next season. Waiving Stanton to keep Brookbank and carry Kostka anyways was a completely idiotic decision and a waste of a good asset. I'd take Stanton over this years Rozy, Brookbank and Kostka EASILY. Stupid.
Also stupid was signing Khabby when we have Raanta...or should've signed someone else. Khabby is too old.
Bollig....ugh. At least Nordstrom provided some, any kind of offensive talent.

That's an ideal lineup to me with one acquisition I can totally see Stan making. It also happens to be one I've been campaigning for on these boards forever.
However, knowing Stan, he'll make a trade at some point for a player none of us saw coming.

Goc as our 2nd. That's ******* brilliant. Please for the love of Christ, let this never come to fruition.

Rozy was big for team and is good mentor for Leddy
Outside of his stupid penalties this year I have no issue for him. And Brookbank is ok #7
Stanton is not some amazing asset ,, Dahlbeck looked better then him anyway
Raanta is not exactly dominating AHL
Bollig has played well all year
Goc is a serious upgrade over Handzus, is defensively responsible, and has PK prowess.
He'd easily be the Hawks' best second-line center since Patrick Sharp during the 2010 Stanley Cup run. Yeah, I'd rather have someone other than Goc on the second line, but he's going to be available, and I don't think we're going to get a Stastny or anything like that. You take what you can get, and Goc is, without question, an upgrade.

Goc has no offensive ability
If you want a guy who can play D and PK then just stick Kruger there to shutdown Hossa/Sharp l

He's only been one of the NHL's most consistent third-line centers playing in Florida with little help.
I've been campaigning for guys like Goc and Nielsen for awhile. They will likely be available, and they would certainly be upgrades for the second line. Both guys have a very high hockey IQ and would thrive more than their previous destination playing with more talented, offensive-minded forwards to complement their skillset.

He is 30 yr old 3rd/4th liner who has shown no offensive ablity in his career in NHL
There is a reason he has not been a #2C and it isn't because of organization he has played for
And he hasn't exactly looked great for Panthers so far this year. Yes the entire team looks terrible but he isn't some god out there on ice
Also Goc has shown very little of the offensive upside of Nielsen so I don't understand the comparable there
Yes, because calling Marcel Goc an upgrade over Michal Handzus is equivalent to calling him a "god." Nice logic there, BWC.
