At this point I doubt I’d even tune in, much as I miss hockey. It would seem more like a sideshow at the carnival rather than the main attraction. JMO. i get where you're coming from but i'd definitely have to watch. it'd be interesting seeing what the games would be like in an empty rink, though. i really have a hard time imagining. hell...everyone on the ice would basically be "miked up". they'd have to have the games on a 15 minute delay just so someone could bleep out all of the expletives. The players will have to wear masks so they don't spit or shoot snot rockets on other players. |

I’d have to think this years done. I don’t see how they make it work and make money doing it. It’s sad, but probably the right thing to do!!!

That's right ours is a different generation. They're still kids for crying out loud. Blowing of some steam at a time where they are as restricted as the rest of us perhaps more. I think it looks silly to put it nicely. I'd rather them playing some one on one maybe a scrap, but as ridiculous as it may seem it's gotta be better than sitting in a basement playing video games. |

can someone tell me what call was missed again?
and are any lip-readers on these boards? i think the last 3 words might have been "grow some balls" but i'm not sure.
miss that guy's fire. besides coaching experience and background, he's the complete opposite of J.C.
edit: never mind. i should've just went straight to YT.

don't know about the source here. the person posting this doesn't have a whole lot of followers.
but.....it's something to talk about.
it really wouldn't surprise me though. crawford started 5 games in the last 9 days to close out the season and played them all except for 1:10, which turned out to be subban's only game action in the 8 games we had him. how many 35 year old goalies start 5 in 9?
it's a bit of a mystery. either JC was going all in for a playoff spot and decided it was crow or nobody, or subban was that bad in practice and it forced the coach's hand. or maybe a combination of both.

gotta agree with em, gt. he or Lankinen will be the back up, imo. unless Subban wants take a 2 way deal for cheap and compete for a backup spot, I doubt we keep him around....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_Shalunovhe's got his own wikipedia page. so we have to sign this guy now. all kidding aside, he's huge and although his rockford numbers don't exactly blow my hair back, he put up decent numbers in the "K". 27 years old.
from last year. Shalunov is a good skater for being a big guy. His leg strength gives him a powerful stride. Shalunov is very good at changing directions quickly. He can stop on a time and cut to the middle of the ice to increase his angles. Shalunov is able to beat defenders to the outside with his speed and cut to the goal with his edgework.
Shalunov possesses a high-end shot with an excellent release and great accuracy. He can beat goaltenders with his shot from the outside as well, as he has pretty good power on his shot. Shalunov’s go-to shot is definitely his wrist shot. His shooting ability allows him to be dangerous on the power play.
Despite being a high-end offensive talent, Shalunov is also very reliable in his own end. He has been regularly relied upon to kill penalties in the KHL and has even been able to produce offense while short-handed as well.
www.the-rink.com/top-prospects-maxim-shalunov/much like YT highlight videos, i do realize many scouting reports tend to make beetles look like bentleys.... still, it seems he ticks a lot of boxes.

I haven’t liked what I’ve seen out of Delia to be honest. I also think it’s awful to anoint the guy without competition. I thought Lankinen would end up being the guy. He seems to have a better overall control of the crease. He’s had success on the international stage, and was decent in his first go round in N/A. I think they better have a competition instead of handing it out. At this point, I’m not sold myself on Subban. I really haven’t seen much out of him that is likeable. He’s already on his third team and my guess is he’s just too inconsistent. But we also got that Russian goalie to have a look at. If Askarov is available in the draft, he may be worth a shot, very highly touted in this draft!!!

If Askarov is available in the draft, he may be worth a shot, very highly touted in this draft!!! askarov would be the first time the hawks have taken a goalie in the first round in the 57 year history of the nhl entry draft, assuming that's where they'd pick him. EDIT: oops, he would be the 3rd goalie drafted in the first round. they got adam munro at #29 in 2001... (played 17 games across 2 seasons) and jimmy waite 8th overall in 1987 (106 nhl games in a 12 year pro career) about delia...i wish i could split the season on the ahl stats board like you can on the nhl's. but i do know that although his overall numbers on the season were pretty pedestrian they were much better in the 2nd half while lankinen's numbers basically went the other direction after a good start. delia's numbers on the hogs ended up the best on the hogs (16-13-1, 2.66, .912). lankinen's (8-10-2, 3.03, .909) and tomkins (5-7-1, 3.12, .896) i'm not sure either one is the answer...same as subban, but personally i think it's risky taking a goalie in the first round. jmo. here's all the first round goalies picked over the years. lots of hits, lots of misses. www.quanthockey.com/nhl-draft/en/round/1-round-draft-picks-goalies-all-time-games-played-leaders.html |

The top ten though is quite impressive. I guess there’s always misses. I e heard some scouts say that they’d take Askarov first overall. He’s that good. Ray Ferraro raves about him at the under 18s and the WJC. The WJC started out terrible for him then he pulled her together and played much better. The only problem is that he was 17 in the WJC and most goalies are usually 19. I think they rushed him a bit, but he’s definitely good and big. 6’2” is probably the norm now for goalies, but he’s heavily compared to Vasilevski. I’m not really sold on taking goalies in the first 2 rounds myself. But if they’re gonna really be that good, it’s tough to pass on them. Unless Perfetti was around 9-10 were we could potentially pick. I’d rather take the best goalie in the draft then a player that more than likely will be a bust. One thing is for sure, if Perfetti is there when we draft, gotta take him. It’s no fluke he put up 111 points in 61 games. That’s 1.81 ppg. As a 17/18 year old. Marco Rossi lead the CHL in scoring with 120. But he’s also 5’9” 165. Good talent, but he is rather small. Perfetti is 5’11” 170 and 3rd in the CHL, Lafrenière is 2nd. I’d rather aim for a Drysdale, or Perfetti than Askarov personally, depending on where we pick. I can see the Hawks taking USNTDP player Jake Sanderson. He does have good size for a dman but more than likely 3 years away from turning pro!!! |

I wonder what the odds are Stan and Co. would seriously consider Askarov if he was around for the Hawks first pick?
This is just the way I see it but there's no apparent replacement for CC down the road and they're going to have to find one since CC is 35 yrs. old. Beyond CC, the next two are UDFA's that are still unknown quantities; we just don't know yet what they can do on a long term basis. We can hope but can either of them become a #1 NHL caliber G? We may find out about how good of a back up one of them could be this season. The rest are young guys, not counting Nalimov, and are years away. I don't think any of them really make anyone sit up and take notice.
I've read some very good stuff about Askarov. I've looked at about a dozen mock drafts and he generally went 10th and 11th in nearly all of them, mostly 10th. One had him going 12th and one had him going 9th to the Blackhawks.
Last draft, Spencer Knight went 13th in the 1st rd. Anyone know how Askarov compares to Knight?
I'm betting Stan & Co. will go with another position with their first pick. One of the mocks had the Hawks taking Conner Zary.

I think Askarov is far superior to him. Last years draft is not even close to as good as this years. I could be dead wrong here, but I get really uneasy about goalies on great teams, for a Jr team, last years USA squad was one of the best they’ve ever had and they still didn’t win. Many blamed the goaltending. So he may develop, or you may never hear of him again. Askarov they say is only a year away from the NHL. So who ever takes him seems to be getting a good goalie, but we’ll see soon enough. I’m still leery of taking a goalie in the first couple rounds, but if there’s no Perfetti or Drysdale when we’re picking, I say take the best goalie prospect of the last 5 years!!! |

From what I read about both players, Askarov looked head and shoulders ahead of Knight. So I wanted to see what a general opinion was. I mentioned one mock had Askarov going to the Hawks at 9; that was Sports Bank. One of the comments the writer made was Askarov was a great value at 9. Your idea in the last paragraph makes sense. I think it's very possible the Hawks could have their eye on one or two other players they would pick ahead of Askarov but if they're both gone, Askarov would be a good pick; apparently he's that good of a prospect. They have to get a long term successor for CC at some point soon so would Stan pull the trigger or decide to kick the goalie can down the road? If he puts off a G for a year or two, it makes you wonder how good of a G we would end up with? Wouldn't a good FA would cost some money? Most seem to consider Askarov a top 10 pick so it's possible he could be gone when the Hawks pick, depending where the Hawks end up picking. |

Lankinen's dinged up season was a disappointment but 1.50/.942 made ME sit up and take notice because it came on a huge stage against some of the worlds best players......Canada and Russia were loaded in that WC. |
