I just can't decide if this is a slide that is irrecoverable or if they can rebound at all.

If Keith could rebound and play like a #2 and we find him a #1.... and if Seabs could at least fucking rebound and play like a 4, maybe a borderline 3... we could patch together a decent defensive core.

But when our top 2 D men play like borderline 6s.... and make 12M.... there is little you can do there.

Same with Toews at 10.5M as our 1C and Captain.... he is maybe playing like a 3C on his best nights this year... 3C/4C players can't make 10.5M.

All 3 of them need major rebounds or we're fukt.
Seabs and Keith are old and not Hossa, so I am not looking at them and thinking they will bounce back much. D will be an issue for awhile...hoping Jokiharju projects out. He reminds me of a Leddy that can actually play D. He's already a great PPQB and can hit a 4x6 from the blueline.

Highmore sent to Rockford, 2 goals in 13 games, guess that would put him in a teen range for the year, probably rank top 5 lol.

I got free 100 level seats for Thursdays game. Be sitting in row 13 and looking forward to seeing Sikura in his first game.

You'll be close to RK, should go over and give him a kick in da nuts. JK

Hawks up 6-2 just had to go to the emergency goalie who was available for both teams....

And the newbie goalie holds it down stopping all 7 shots he faced.

EDIT: Lol they gave him the 1st star of the game.

My buddy calls me up.....

Him: You watching the Hawks?

Me: No

Him: You might want to turn them on......crazy shit going down.

Me: What, are they winning or something? That would be crazy.

Him: Well, that but they are also going through goalies like McDonalds goes through burgers.


Bad year to be a goalie in Chicago.....

It as very cool to see. The chanting of his name was a lot louder than it sounded on TV (just watched replay of the game).
Was in the 13th row, and no RK sighting. I even went out in the smoking area and didn't see him.
Side note: We got there a bit late and parked in a Red Top lot about two blocks away. $24 to park, and every guy working there hit us up for money/tips. Traffic was bad and I had to pee so me and my wife stopped at a porta-pottie in the parking lot. When my wife was in there, a homeless guy came up and said he lived in that bathroom. He then showed me his blanket (in a shopping cart) and his "luggage", which was a cardboard box. I thanked him for the hospitality. All true.

IT was cool to give him a star to talk to the chick, but they should have shared it with Delia, he had an outstanding night.

The one game I wanted to avoid with the seabrook circle jerk, then watching him just make mistake after mistake and get beat to the net. He actually threw a puck at the players that were making a change on the ice that should have been a too many men penalty because it hit a few of them. Dont know how we are going to deal with 6 more years of this Seazivol.

Hawks come from behind to beat the Blues, HaaaHaaa. Keith scores the winning goal on a one timer from D Cat.

Blues 1 pt out of last Play Off spot. Blues coming to the UC Friday.

:success:

Yep. Keith made his best defensive play all year (and one of the few), doubles his goal total, and for the first time all year doesn't look like Deron Quint stole his jersey.

Credit where credit is due--he looked like the D-responsible Keith of old.

End of the season gives me a glimmer of hope that they can turn things around next year.

That Winnipeg game where they swarmed on defense for most of the 3rd period to protect Scott Foster... I need to see that kinda game from them next year, consistently.... and I need to see them do that for 3 periods, not just part of 1 or 2 periods.

sweet game coming back against the blues and hurting their playoff chances, can destroy them at home.

News today both Bowman and Q are safe for next year. As Panarin puts his name in the all time record books for Columbus, I really want him to prove he is a playoff player.

I've been a fan of Q's, but I think he needs to go.
