[winos5]

Just win</p>

 

[LordKOTL]

'hawks and Preds as of today are two of the last 3 teams that have got a point in every match this year--the Caps being the other.  Both also have 3 ROW's.  Only difference is Nashville has another SoL in their "extra" game (last night vs. Phoenix).  Against common opponents, the Preds beat Dallas, who we won in the shootout against (A game in which only Crawford showed up) and they took Cal-gary to the shootout when we got our only OTL against them (a game in which our offense was as lost as Kim Jonsson).</p>


 </p>


Heas to Head, we beat them in Overtime.</p>


 </p>


A win won't come easy but if the team plays them like they played the Flyers we got a damned good shot.</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Crawford not making the short road trip.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

Hawks will win big Toews will have a monster game.

I knew you were going to say that. Just wait, it won't be long now. Backes will piss him off on Saturday so he'll get at least a goal and an assist and a big edge in FOs. You just watch.........HATER !!</p>

Bickell can go away at any point now. Should have traded HIM this offseason.</p>

Leddy was never going to ever get his shot here, Q was never going to trust him, ever. Out on the Island, they're perfectly happy with his Mike Green-Lite game.</p>

Bingo. Some of our past, present, and future players will turn out to be great--just maybe not with us.  Hell, one has to wonder if, based on the Flyers at the time, if Sharp would have ever reached the potential he has here had he stayed with Philly.</p>


 </p>


Anyhow, as for the game props have to go to Nashville for effectively shutting down the puck possession game.  Turnovers are still and issue (Saad....Richards....). </p>


 </p>


Outside of Shaw, the best we've had were occasional flashes of the usual brilliance from Toews, Kane, Sharp, and Hossa; if anything they've been up and down like whore's drawers; a good game followed by one where they dissappear.  It's good that for the most part the D has been very good--Rosival (much like Versteeg) actually looks worth something this year and TVR has been one hell of a pleasant surprise. Goaltending also has not been an issue.  I'm just waiting for the consistancy factor.</p>


 </p>


Oh, and I had a Bickell sighting--he was on the bench in the 3rd period wearing a toque and a red striped sweater.</p>

 

[Pez68]

I saw Bickell a few times on the ice. Literally. It was after he fell down for the 4th or 5th time. I've never seen such a big guy go down so easily along the boards. It's unreal.</p>

 

[Forklift]

I saw Gorilla Salad trip over the blue line twice, so...maybe Q will have no choice but to dress Morin?</p>

 

[mikita's helmet]

Musical Chairs doesn't help much, either.</p>


 </p>


Q's thinking process, 15 seconds into a line's second shift.</p>


 </p>


"this isn't working. (in best William Shatner voice) "this ...is ...not ...work   ...ing.    ...MUST  ...<span style="font-size:24px;">CHANGE</span>    ...LINES"</p>

No one even has to touch him and he falls down.</p>

Leddy is killing penalties, playing 22 minutes a night and is a +4 in 7 games.</p>


 </p>


Hardly Mike Green, let alone Mike Green light</p>

Playing with Boychuk instead of Rozsival, and getting more PP time, can't hurt either.</p>

can't blame coaching on that, a forward on the point is always better than an offensive defensemen...right?</p>
