I really liked Tatar tonight, Cleary needs to be gone, and a trade needs to happen

As I stated in about every thread since last year, bench Daniel Cleary. I'd like to see Ferraro, because I haven't had a chance and everyone says Helm with hands

I don't at his age there is a drinks to much. I'd imagine being his age and accomplishing what he has he doesn't give a f***

Get rid of Dan Cleary, that alone will show this team is serious about actually trying to win games.

Just curious why you'd think that? The Blackhawks are 1 player going down from being the same type of team we are. (off topic) I think a lot of people are putting way to much stock into how the season is starting. It's no surprise that teams with little turn over have had less problems, as well as players who were in AHL. Like every year people rush to these conclusions (Edm SC bound) (Wings finally out) (Crosby staying healthy) but by the end all things start to go back to the norm.

he's a beast

I loath Cleary. Can't Bert make out with him Quincey, Sammy, Franzen get all those ******* scrubs on IR

Next time hopefully someone pulls a Tootoo and one hitter quitter the Rockford before they even drop the gloves

I'm sure during the lock out, you said something along the lines of not caring if hockey comes back you won't pay attention anyway, watching tv, or coming on a forum is contradictory. Soon enough you will be purchasing again. Of course you are spending money because of them; ie going to the bar to watch the game (unless you don't buy anything). Obviously it doesn't matter at the end of the day.

Sorry but that sounds like a cop-out. You're still investing time, and emotion into the team.

Tootoo and Smith fight, Brunner and Flip with goals

Brunner is the s***!

Tootoo is the s***. You could tell he was trying so hard not to light anyone up today, he has some speed.

Edm won't do s***. Every year we are all pumped thinking this is the year Edm breaks out, and then where do they keep picking? Like the Lions of the NHL

Jason Williams?

Holland would be an ******* to sign Doan to some of the contract #'s that are rumored.

agreed, I thought Stuart was terrible all last season and am glad to see him go. (I do appreciate that he was a huge impact in our cup run and the following year)

I think Sheahan is going to be a beast and would love to see him play on the 4th. But it does seem like Andersson put in his dues, so he at least deserves a shot.

you can just see that whenever he misses a check and the boards rattle. With him comes 100% intensity all the time, in itself should rub off on Abby. With the inclusion of him and Smith full time I think you will see a much more aggressive Abby and Ericcson.

And with every passing day, it should become more and more apparent nobody gives a s*** what you feel about the signing, maybe you should join a fanbase with a much better hockey IQ like Toronto or Van.

If he can be half as useful in the playoffs (Conn Smythe) then I'd say it's a good signing!!

I love this signing, I've been asking for him for 2 years now!! Sorry I know most think this a dirtbag move But I thought it was awesome, Robidas came in thinking he was gonna get some revenge and didn't realize he was fighting a wolverineedit: If we add Vandemeer and Doan we will be a meanf****** team, I would put any money down you'll see a whole new side of Abby and Ericsson

I could support that idea

I can see where you are coming from, but I do disagree about missing the playoffs. I think right now they would be able to make it 6-8 spot. Also with my scenerio Brunner or whoever else is on the 3rd line would bring out more in Helm. Ericsson is a huge crapshoot I know, he's played some great hockey sometime, but then some AHL hockey at other points. Also I wouldn't say Holland drafted that bad (Nyquist) basically led all rookies in the AHL (points/games played) Tatar almost made the team out of camp. Mad amount of talk around all fanbases regarding, Jarnkok, Jurco, Tverdon, all seem like good players (edit: Mzarek was getting praise from Canadian fans when his team was curb stomped like 8-3 and they still were saying he was one of the best players on the ice). But I suppose that is for another argument entirely. Also please don't think I'm a always sunshine type of guy, because there is plenty of criticizem the team deserves.

Personally I don't care if he is or is not, he has been a disappointment since 09 Playoffs. Of course Babcock was out of his damn minding switching him for Draper, when he had 2 goals in 2 games played in the finals....to bad he could never reproduce that ability.
