LOL</p>

Nice hipcheck by Beach followed by a "fight" with a stick lodged between the two hugging combatants.</p>

 

[Rex]

has the second round of cuts been anounced yet? Surprised they are carrying so many players when the CHL seasons have started.</p>

 

[BiscuitintheBasket]

Nice hip check

 

[Rex]

I'll check the video when I get home, but I hear Beach had a good game by everyone not on Twitter.</p>

 

[Rex]

fucking idiot announcers</p>


 </p>


"look how low Beach went on him"</p>


 </p>


It was a clean fucking hip check. Let's just ban hitting, but allow fighting with sticks in your hand.</p>

 

[R K]

Hawks should have had a 2m PP after that.  No question.</p>

Yup. A well executed hip check that took the player out of the play in a non-dangerous way, and still keep you in position. Dude had no justification to drop 'em.

Yep. What about the instigator rule they call against the Hawks EVERY TIME it happens?</p>

 

[R K]

Well the instigator is for others jumping in isnt it?  But yea, he should have gotten a roughing for sure.</p>

 

[JOVE23]

decent showing today, I think</p>

Yup...the kids are scrappy. In the preseason, I mainly look for effort and ballsiness (sic).</p>


 </p>


I'm only saddened that Bollig (the offensive juggernaut) couldn't light the lamp again. :music-guitarred:</p>

 

[MassHavoc]

Preseason over yet?

Honestly, Beach didn't really impress me.  Nice check, that's about it.</p>


 </p>


Bollig, Morin, Smith, Leblanc, and Terivanen (sp?) have.  I think we'll see all of them up sometime this year.</p>

Leblanc hasn't impressed me one bit, He looked out of place at the two rookie camp games I was at, and those were against kids for the most part.</p>

Pretty funny.   Bollig parody of Kane's stick handling video.</p>

I think LeBlanc has some good upside - provided you hope for nothing more than a third or fourth line center, but he absolutely needs a year in Rockford to get up to the speed of the professional game. He's been lagging behind on everything.</p>

at least a year in Rockford. as far as I'm concerned, his NCAA career means nothing in the NHL</p>

Great game tonight by the Ice Hogs.  Hawks had just 4 starters in there against almost a full Pens line up.</p>


 </p>


One more to go and the Show begins!</p>


 </p>


BANNER!!</p>

 

[R K]

NO excuse for the Ice Hogs not to just TEAR up the AHL this year.  The depth is crazy from D out to forward.</p>
