Ahh the ever exciting battle of one of the worst PK's vs. One of the worst PP's. Should be a real nail biter eh?

Kicking the tires to build from within i see? I KNOW THATS YOU KEN HOLLAND!

In response to your pwer forward comment, i just meant as available goal scorers in the upcoming FA pool. Ive never watched vanek, my mistake, i thought he was of the power forward variety. Edit: That being said, Dabura ur good with this type of thing. Gimme a list of power forwards we could trade for/acquire! GO!

If this happens i'll be at the front of the pack, torch and pitchfork in hand. Heating up the tar and stockpiling feathers.

I can honestly say ive watched every single game this season, and i definitely agree that Tatar has a much higher point ceiling. He has that type of skill and finesse that only truly great players have. In 5 years or less he'll be a leader on the team and one its leading scorers for years to come. Book it.

Lol at how silly our defense point are. If you take away kronners 30 pts, thats 50 points divided by the other what, 6 guys? Weak sauce. Chicagos defense is insane. But notice how Ottowa is at 117! Entirely because of Eric Karlsson and his 50 points. These stats are kindof flawed imo, because one player can make a huge difference, and completely change the defensive production of the team as a whole. But regardless, they do ring pretty true to the standings for the most part. Anthony Mantha. Our next big thing! I just want a power forward. Nash, vanek? Idk whos even available in the upcoming ufa class. We need to make a big trade for some power scoring.

Im gonna withold my judgement on Kenny until he does/doesnt make something happen at the deadline.

Zetterberg is hardly less effective than miller/andy. The way I see it, Tatar is doing more with less, whilst Nyquist is doing less with more. Id say put em both on the 2nd line and let em boost eachothers stats at a happy medium of opposing defense. Youknow what i meeeeean?

This i agree with

While playing on the top line, on zetterbergs wing, on the first PP. While Tats is usually on the 3rd line with miller/andy and the 2nd PP. With less ice time. Them scoring at the same pace actually proves the opposite of your intended point. Imho.

Any updates on whos going in net tomorrow night? Or pav? Or ericsson? Were gonna need final form Gustavsson to be a showstopper and our 2 big returns (pav/ericsson) to have a glimmer of hope of beating the Hawks. Z pav bert Nyquist shehan tatar Jurco helm abby Cleary glend miller Would be a massive step up in offense just based on getting one guy back and shuffling the lines. Edit: Per Khan; on defense, Kronwall, Quincey not skating today. Datsyuk, Alfie are on ice. Howard is not.

Doubt it. Even if he did play his conditioning will be nonexistent. Remember how cold and just "off" Pav was last time coming back from injury? Gustavsson will start in net but our piss poor defense will s*** the bed as usual and we'll lose 4-1 again...throw that in with how absolutely on fore crawford has been lately and we, my friend, are s*** outta luck.My 2 cents. Truly hoping im wrong, but wont be surprised if im not. CHI just beat Anaheim and Boston, something we prolly couldnt ever do given our current lineup. Edit: Also, let me just say that our first line of Abby Z Nyq is terribad. (Our PPG tonight doesnt factor into the 5v5) Not producing anything at all. Nyquist can stay but Abby is not a first liner and he never will be. As a first line their play has been awful. Get him out of there. Jurco has been getting great looks and making stuff happen. If Pasha does end up playing I dont understand why we wont see: Z Datsyuk Jurco Nyquist Sheahan Tatar Miller Helm Abby Bert Glend Eaves That is a much more offensively threatening lineup. With pure scoring in the top 6, and speed/grit/checking in the bottom end. None of this Babcock balanced lineup garbage thats perpetually losing us games (26/49 games held under 3 goals) Unbelievable.

Toronto has won what 5 in a row? NYI, CBJ, NYR have been red hot. Were gonna have to get our actual team back and soon to even have a prayer of making the playoffs :/

Poor jurco gets demoted to the 4th line. Sucha waste of talent. Hes our future Marian Hossa. Let the kid play.

Tatar doing his best Pasha impression. Dangle around everyone then shoot high.

2 goalposts in 10 seconds. No goal. Story of the season. Edit: off sheahans ass and into our own net.

13 shots on goal after 2 periods. 13!!!! Jeeeeeeeeesh.

I want jurco sheahan tatar zetterberg and nyquist on the next PP. Not bert cleary and eaves FFS. And now Jimmys hurt/ got pulled.

We need a goal badly. Cmon boys.

Its obvious they are looking for Z and Z only on the PP, the blues know who to play heavy on and when to collapse. Too predictable. And no Tats at all during those PP's over Eaves? WRONG!

Holy penalties Batman!!

Ok a PP goal here and were right back in it.

Our PK is godawful.

Boys against men.

GOD DAMNIT.
