2011/2012 Blackhawks General Player Discussion Thread

is Bickell gone yet?

This argument about Brunette makes no sense. Of course he's going to be in front of the net. I'm pretty sure that's the reason the Hawks signed him.

What was one of the biggest things the Hawks didn't have last year? A screener.

Well they have one now.

no, no they dont. he barely ever gets there and if he does, he is late and out of position.

Uh no. The man is done. Step over to reality son.

Brunette has become a PP specialist who is too slow for this team at equal strength. Now, if he actually contributed on the PP, then there really wouldn't be much of a problem. Sure, he deserves some shit for it, but hell, not even the 1st PP unit (with all of that tremendous talent) is generating anything of worth. The scheme is a mess.

saw alot of brunette tonight


dude was ALL ALONE in fighting for pucks behind the net

NOBODY else was digging for pucks


everyone knows he is slow, we knew that when we signed him, and I saw him try and carry a puck through the neutral zone tonight........it was bad

 

[DewsSox79]

i should close this since they all suck

 

[DewsSox79]

will stick after deadline

A little fun fact.

When brunette records a point the Blackhawks record is 20-1-0

which is an absolute meaningless stat. cool stat, but has no relevance to Brunettes skill level or his influence on a specific game in either direction.

Hence the "little fun fact" quote at the beginning

just making sure that the "little fun fact" doesnt go passed that.

Yeah, that clearly means a whole lot. :clap:

 

[Capt. Serious]

Lets not the hide the fact that he hasn't scored since Jan 2nd & is a -9.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

aw shit tbo.

you've been warned.

 

[Capt. Serious]

the great Brunette has just 2 more goals & 4 more points than Kruger.

Kruger is a +2 while old fossil is a -9.

Kruger making 900,000 while fossil is making 2 mil.

Yeah what an amazing addition. Grow a pair & finally admit the man is done.

But that's unlikely to happen.

^^^ You know how many players I play that game with?

You were ripping Kruger early on this season and all of a sudden you have changed your mind?

You are out of your league...return to the BPHL

you can change your opinion if you start to see progress with the player. example: if huet would have stepped up and started to play well, I would have no choice but to change my stance on him. Players change, they can go up, they can go down. A player like Krueger will have ups and downs for a while, brunette is on the wrong side of his career, which will lead to more downs than anything. I dont know if joe ripped krueger or not since im too lazy to look up archives of shit, but either way, as fans we can change our stance imo

Dont you know with every player its not about points, but about "board battles" "leadership" and "fire and passion"

 

[Capt. Serious]

Nope, i've liked Kruger for quite some time. He's also 21 not 101 like Brunette.

Which is funny because that is exactly what he posted on HB about...yet won't say it over here.
