  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.
  15. Blackhawks 2015-16 Team Discussion Thread

    I think Baun is a liability waiting to happen - or rather maybe a boneheaded penalty in the offensive zone, for no good reason, waiting to happen. I think he has Rockford written all over him, and I give him 8 weeks max. Unless of course he pulls his head out. In fact that third line looks...
  16. Blackhawks 2015-16 Team Discussion Thread

    The 'benefit' might only be that it is easier to showcase a guy for a trade (one of 29 other teams would need to change their mind), in the NHL as opposed to Rockford. I don't buy Shaw as much of a solution to LW with Toews and Hossa ... have to think Panarin is going to be paired with either...

    Considering that Jaeckel's board expects guys outside the US to pay them money to post -I have to come back home :) ... interesting Jaeckel's blog today pretty much parroted my observation about Baun and Panarin (basically being a version of Kane hopped up on Red Bull ...). Began playing...
  18. Final preseason IGT: Hawks @ Stars 10/3 @ 7:30 p.m.

    That would be the one DM - and Kitchen was raving about it right before the 3rd on his blurb on the telecast - talking about 'stickhandling in (the proverbial) phonebooth'. Frankly Panarin did not do much on his first shift and he also got to serve a bench minor (too many men on the ice) -...
  19. Blackhawks 2015-16 Team Discussion Thread

    I don't know - Baun took a couple of dumb penalties in the first -which isn't criminal -but that second one was block headed and basically came after his first shift after his first penalty in a scoreless game ... in the offensive zone ... dumb dumb dumb - am not sure Q is into that level of...
