Just hopefully he has better hockey thoughts. With rational circumstances to back up his arguments.



Other then that, welcome!



I sense a good hockey mind. Remember your first burst on the scene...SeanAvery16? Hahahah, I thought I was going to have to find you and hunt you down when you first started here. Now I await the next Stu post with great anticipation.

Tonight I just hope he shuts up.



And of course, welcome to Jallen.

For you schmucks complaining of the lockout early on and not being able to get your hockey fix.....



You could have been coming to Rockford to witness some great talent on the ice (which some of you did).



The likes of Leddy, Bollig, Saad, Shaw, Kruger and Karlsson not to mention those that are still here such as Morin, Pirri, Smith, Hayes, Olsen, Beach and others.



Secondly, hard to say anything bad about Scooter right now with the team that is assembled and playing on the ice. Our depth (other then goalie) is not that bad either.

Agree cant say anything negative about Scooter and I was one of the vocal ones against him on many occasions. Also can't really be blasting Q either as his coaching decisions have been outstanding and he really hasn't been out coached at all so far this season. Not much talk about how well Q has been coaching but if the record were poor you can bet the usual Q bashers would be bashing him.



There is one other thing that I am going to theorize without any evidence to back it up. Scotty Bowman isn't getting his greasy hands on on ice decisions right now. That's the feeling I get anyways. I felt that he was getting his nose in coaching decisions last year and I don't sense it right now. No front office politics this year!!! That's a huge one. Let the coaches coach!!!

Huge difference between last year and this year's third line. Great offensively, hitting opposing d men, and forcing turnovers. Haven't ever been a Bickell fan but, I'm starting to change that view seeing to it as he's hitting and using his big body.

I think the entire team as a whole from top to bottom just seem to be more aggressive throughout the whole game. Even last night at the end of the game when I assumed they all would be tired they were still flying around down there. There was one point where Hoss came in out of no where to steal the puck behind the net and I was like, holy shit where did he come from.
