  1. If the Hawks could play 3 v 3 all the time...

    ... if the Hawks could play 3 on 3 all of the time --- they'd do all right until what time if comes for a line change - then all bets are off.
  2. GDT: CBJ VS Blackhawks, low rent version

    BOM site? And no -they won't.
  3. GDT: CBJ VS Blackhawks, low rent version

    Secondary assist ... stat padding... Too funny ... lol ... rofl .... no wait roflmao ... where did you guys get this one from? I mean seriously -is this area for talking about hockey or just fabricating ridiculous crap that is intended to gaslight emerging hockey fans with some sort of...
  4. Panarin-Anisimov-Kane

    Um no I didn't- but it is the level of the quality of competition that matters - you are essentially comparing juniors playing juniors whereas the KHL would be at worst AHL vs AHL (and sometimes depending on the teams involved better than that). I am saying that the time spent in the KHL is at...
  5. Panarin-Anisimov-Kane

    Not the same deal as Teravainen - not even remotely close - Panarin was playing in and starring in the KHL for the past several years not to mention playing internationally. And what I mean by starring in the KHL is that Panarin led St Petersburg in scoring for the past 2 seasons -2 seasons...
  6. Hawks vs Isle 7:30 WGN

    NHL.com is a bit inconsistent - since they also have Panarin listed on their rookie leaders' page. http://www.nhl.com/ice/rookies.htm?navid=nav-ply-rkies# They need to decide which one it is, but I have read the above eligibility rules for the Calder Trophy, but really who cares? There is only...
  7. Hawks vs Isle 7:30 WGN

    It's entirely possible that Versteeg was looking to make some incentive bonuses - like the one where you score like 15 goals and get a free snow cone. I don't know if he made it though. I don't think his consistent production will be missed again this time either.
  8. IGT: Blackhawks @ Islanders 10/9 at 6:30 p.m.

    I don't know - the highlights are ok - but I think might be cut a little short - on the broadcast they were commenting about Panarin's on ice awareness creating the 2nd goal - not because he had a 'tertiary assist' but immediately prior to that he made a big effort to avoid touching the puck...
  9. Blackhawks 2015-16 Team Discussion Thread

    An unrelated point - I don't think Tikhonov was Panarin's centre last season in St Petersburg .... he stats indicated more of a checking forward role -as did his stats with the Russian national team. On D I would think they go back to the pairings that they used in the Dallas pre-season game...
  10. 10/7 - SEASON OPENER: Rangers (0-0-0) vs. (0-0-0) Blackhawks 7:00PM NBCSN

    No matter what Rundblad did or didn't do -the one thing he didn't do is run into Crawford and take him out of a play where a 2-0 did not initially even generate (I think) a SoG - until the puck was put back out in front with Crawford left unable to get back to the net because .... well.... Daley...
  11. 10/7 - SEASON OPENER: Rangers (0-0-0) vs. (0-0-0) Blackhawks 7:00PM NBCSN

    Bickell was waived, but no one claimed him - technically he can be sent down without going through waivers again I think - I think that the only reason that he is playing is to continue to (maybe in vain) showcase him for some hoped for trade - probably also the reason Pokka is on the NHL roster...
  12. Blackhawks 2015-16 Team Discussion Thread

    Belfour/Hasek was not a hindsight deal by any stretch -Hasek was a world class international goalie prior to coming into the Hawks' system. Keenan's system was defense first -but whatever - it doesn't really matter in the context of 2015-16.
  13. Updates to the Kane situation

    Reading JJ's latest blog ... and of course half of the respondents are into the oft-repeated Chicago trait of soap opera-ing sports teams and personalities. It goes something like this (paraphrasing here) 'Grrrrr, they will never trade 88; he's elite, never replace him....' blah blah blah ...
  14. Blackhawks 2015-16 Team Discussion Thread

    I can remember Belfour and Hasek -so not the best I can remember, but it's ok.
