He can fight, proven by those videos. And even if he doesn't fight alot he can be coached to fight at the right times. It is clear he knows what he is doing. Bickell is obviously heating up in the playoffs and it occurred when he started playing with a physical edge. And regardless what he gets he will be an asset to this team who needs a younger, tougher big forward.

Go to a brewpub.

I would take fistric and dupuis too. even though we have so many dmen fistric is something we need on the back end, a guy who will go out and cleanly injure other teams players on a nightly basis.

Cooke hit was a penalty but not dirty at all. Crosby was a total ***** at the end of that period crosschecking rask.

That would be quite the combo if the wings can land both.

even if it was missed, kane got hich sticked earlier and it wasn't called. But the penalty shot call didn't have an equal, it stuck out as a terrible call as did the franzen call.

Just give dekeyser a few shots and send him out there next game for smith.

The Brunner goal makes the Frolik goal sting but who are we kidding it is the NHL, their mandate is always to prolong series.

Hopefully the hawks have been watching leafs footage.

Had to mute nbcsn. Can't believe there was company mandate to have the station be a chicago homer station.

Bench smith.

Huge hook on nyquist. hilarious how just getting you stick parallel is a penalty but that isn't a penalty, that was 90s.

Smith needs to go to pewee hockey camp for defence.

Wings coming on strong, keep it up, physical (w/o taking penalties) in the 3rd and we will win. Hawks are getting flustered.

I think Pierre was unbiased for the first 5 games but now he is on the hawks wagon. Feels almost like a company mandate, prob too many hawks fans crying that edzo didn't have enough freedom.

Terrible call on the mule hit, not a heavy hit and hjalmarsson basically injured himself.

I know it is a hot topic and we should discuss it here. Edler gets suspended for trying to avoid smith who was in the same exact situation last year with Shaw. Smith dove and now is faking concussion symptoms because his team is going nowhere and he has nothing to lose. Lupul barely touched Hedmen who falls like a ton of bricks. Obvious dive. Yes what Lupul did should be illegal but he barely touched him. Perry suspended 4 games for literally brushing against a guy who was lost in space and wrecked himself. Zolnierczyk hammers Lundin and leaves his feet AFTER contact... suspended. Nash blatantly jumps and nails Kopecky in the back of the head... nothing. Looked like it was a reaction play. Now this one may be the right call but then how can you suspend the others for doing the same thing (other than the Lupul hit which should have been a penalty and not a suspension)? Kronwall 4 minutes for hitting too hard. Smith turns at the end boards at the last second, Glencross who is already committed hits him and is penalized. There are probably at least 3 dozen examples out there already this season of penalties called on hits where the player being hit is the one to blame or where a guy simply hits a guy "too hard" or "too angrily". It is starting to get ridiculous. I can give you examples of events exactly the same as these events in the past in which nobody batted an eye over because it is part of the game. The next step is to remove hitting all together and sometimes I wish they would just get it over with quick instead of this slow and painful degradation.

Ridiculous call.

someone tell doc that dekeing isn't a gritty play, he just called kanes deke gritty. 4th line scores!!!

Franzen isn't skating at all,

Hawks had good matchups ad the wings fell into the matching trap. Simple as that, they wont have to deal with it next game and wont make the same mistake in game 7 if it occurs. Hawks are on the edge of elimination, game 5 is going to be their hardest push i think.

Brunner actually even made a hit last night. Funny stat Kane has 0 hits in the playoffs. Brunner should fight him.

When will this stuff be punished? Still waiting...
