Dude I said that so many times when he was playing for us last year, I asked people if they seen it but I don't think anyone replied.But yes. Ha. They definitely look like brothers. Ill add in that apparently, before the Weiss signing, Holland had also offered him a three year deal that cleary turned down to go to free agency.Idk if its true or not, but I'll try to find the article.

I really dont like his footspeed, and he looked so out of place on Nashville.5Years is a long time to carry a player if we find out he was just a product of the terrible system and big minutes in Toronto.

He's still a goal scorer, he said he's not just a goal scorer because when he's not scoring goals, he is still doing other things for the team.He offers space for the other guys on his line because of his size, and he's really good in close spaces with the puck... whether he's scoring or not, there aren't many men his size shoe wrists can pull back that quick around the net and snap a shot off. Not to mention that his shot is good, decent velocity, beautifully fast release...I can't even count how many times he's had the puck coming up the right side and before anyone had a chance to get in the lane, he pulls back the puck and cuts to the middle and the puck is off his stick. Its beautiful. Hes also good defensively, he's not hossa by any means, but he is a 200foot winger. There were people criticizing his defense last year, when someone else's guy would score and all you seen was him busting his ass hustling back. I think he was trying to say he's not just here to score goals, because he isn't. He's one of the guys our younger players look to, he's another remnant of our dominant winning ways that supports the winning culture... He is a damn good player whose been unfortunate with his head injuries, but he does a lot more for the team than just scoring goals. I want him to come back, and I want him to finish out his contract healthy, he was still on pace for his normal 25+ goals last season, he just got hurt too much. Which could happen again, In which case, he goes back on ltir and sits out as long as he needs to be symptom free, and hopefully they don't hinder his life after hockey. But he's a competitor, as lazy as he can be,(which may or may not be directly related to his concussions)he's fighting to come back for the team.. Don't you want that attitude in the locker room?

I do not want erhoff that long.He signed a deal in Pittsburgh hoping it would bloat his numbers ala niskanen, and it backfired.. when he was actually healthy, he didn't play well at all. I may be fine with signing him to the three year deal Holland offered him last off season, but at this point he's very comparable to Quincey, sans the fact that Quincey(for the most part) stays healthy.

This is why I'm hoping kindl can have a resurgence under blash, he's decently quick, and he can get his shots at the net, which apparently not many others on our team can do.The speed thing is also why I think smith is so much more valuable in the playoffs than he is in the regular season, once the pace picks up, he doesn't lose any hockey smarts. He just seems to make boneheaded plays when he tries to slow the game down. Which is odd, but it makes sense that he'd have learned to think while playing at his speed.

Hell still sign a big contract.Idk now comfortable I'd be paying him ~$5m a year.

Oduyas a free agent. I want him before b Jackman.

I bet a buddy a case of beer this would be Chicago's in six or seven, if its six I have to share the beer.

Ha. Riding the bike in a sauna...How long until someone dies following his regime?

Whoever they trade with, they're going to want a good center coming back.And I really don't want to let go of Larkin, or athanasiou. Id definitely give up mantha and our pick for him strome seems like he's going to be pretty good.

Smith, pulks, and Weiss?I heard a rumor about that once.

I'm hoping we either land someone decent, or marchenko and oulette upgrade our defense enough to not worth about bringing him into something that bad.

1 v 1 me bro!!!!

I figured.I looked for that in your original proposal, but just seen fs1&fs2. Honestly, they're too concerned with the amount of suck that's went down with the tigers lately.

I haven't had one game on fox sports.Nbcsn, or NBC. Last year fox sports had maybe one, if I can remember correctly.

I don't think he will. Ha. he was deplorable. I know he scored a few points for us, but his defense was awful.

Retire neither. Make it like Michigan does with the epic numbers. Give then to great players/prospects who won't get retired.

You have a flair for the dramatics.I like your posts. They're fun. But chea. I would rather see him as the 14th forward, than another unproven coach though.

Damn Dom, I wouldn't have ever seen that.Thanks. I was wondering where he'd fit in with pulks needing to be up, and franzen supposedly being good to go. That answers that question. really?!?!?!What makes you say that? Ha. Aside from him being a veteran.

All I've seen is zidlicky saying he was 100% committed to NHL hockey, but I'm with you.Dude would've been a huge help in the playoffs.

I've made some of my most genuine friends chirping at each other like this, but there is always that guy/girl who didn't understand that this wasnt a serious thing and try to get rowdy about it.I once went to a Chicago/Detroit game when my AAA team was in town for a tournament, the blaxkhawks werent really relevant yet, but I jokingly made fun of a girl I found attractive and I ended up becoming friends with her dad. Who chirped me literally on the smallest things, when we accidentally iced a puck, or blew an edge for example. I've also been witness to a Pittsburgh fan, a grown man, spitting beer at my twelve year old goalie. I don't like the fact that the soldier has had problems selling his tickets, or anyone for that matter. But I also understand that tampa isn't Chicago, or Minny, and needs to do everything they can to grow the game in the area... So I'm conflicted, which ultimately means I don't care enough either way.

Bahahahaha.If this catches on over there, you're solely to blame. And I'll laugh hysterically.

Ha. I still hate the hawks. But I also hate Tampa. The hating of the hawks is etched into me, which I'm working on. I do like Toews, honestly. His playoff beard, not so Much. I guess I don't care about this series as much as I care about hockey lasting as long as possible into the summer.

It would've been fine if we were all drunk, but you had to ruin it.BTW, I am drunk, so I'm too lazy to type the media code, but here's the link to the full presser. https://youtu.be/GAZ7D0V0tKI

I wear my hat backwards when I work on cars, or do something that requires my full field of vision, and as much light entering my eyes as possible, and if my hands are greasy I will not touch it to turn it around when I go to auto zone. But truth be told, I am kind of an ass****
