I'm old and hate this technology crap. You get it figured out and they change it. I can live the rest of my life just drinking beer and listening to tasty tunes. Tv for hockey games only. Simple. That sounds like a really good plan for a 73 year old guy. Just finished the second day of staining the deck, and managed to get in 9 holes of golf this morning too. The cold Coors have really hit the spot. Now, can the Hawks do the same tonight? Good to see you're back on this site now.
Hope so.
Goooooo Hawks!!

That's way too much labor I'm not looking to lose weight but hope the Hawks will add some weight. Being a weight training guru for the Hawks to add an extra 35 lbs to the team this year they will now need to have 19 victories. |

Dylan Strome is dreadful, holy cow.
Slow as hell, zero offensive skill, terribly irresponsible in his own end. Awful.
-4 in 12 minutes is a special kind of bad

They don't have an ounce of defensive skill amongst them or just don't care to do so. |

I think he went away from that a bit tonight, saw Kane with Dach and DeBrincat quite a bit as for Strome, yeah I wouldn't be upset if they let him walk, as far as I am concerned he's a complete waste of space |

The Hawks have weathered big hitting teams before. Thing is you can’t keep that style up all game. Plus hitters get hurt too. And get out of position. Get through the first ten minutes and let’s see how it goes. Very true. How often have all of us, at times, seen the player delivering the hit be the one that ends up going down to the ice himself, while the hittee is getting himself back into the play. |

Fairly positive Crawford is drunk... the guy can't corral a loose puck cleanly for his life, they roll/bounce around and eventually an Oilers play buries it

Good lord, was I impressed by Kirby Dach tonight. Easily the best game of his short career and a great sign of even better things to come from him.

He lacks consistency which is to be expected, of course. Some shifts he looks a bit lost and unsure, especially when to pass vs when to shoot. And other shifts he looks legit and the raw talent comes out. Maybe not as quick as next season but when he is 20 in 2021-22 he's going to be a beast. |

He is out for the season now because the virus did something to his heart and doctors are concerned what could happen if he plays. He's young and was their ace. |

Good lord, was I impressed by Kirby Dach tonight. Easily the best game of his short career and a great sign of even better things to come from him. The only knock I saw on his game last night was him trying to skate his way through more than his own weight in defenders multiple times. Not deke through, skate through like a runaway cement mixer. The only guy who could do that with any regularity is Hossa. Dach's not there (yet). But, that's okay. Just about every one of our core members has done that in the past and failed. Still, I like what I've seen from him in this series. And while I'm at it...huge shoutout to Toews in this series. He has been perfect captain material so far and has been leading by example. |

Dach has me feeling a little silly for being a little upset about the pick last spring. unless Byrum turns out to be a #1, I would say Stan and the scouts got that pick right. he honestly looks like a grown ass man out there at 19..... in a couple years folks could be saying he should've been the top pick if he keeps growing his game. Toews looks like.....Toews. leader of men. that slow mo of he and Neal was hilarious, his expression was great. |

As everyone here probably remembers, Dach was my pick last spring.
You do not pass up on a 6'4" right shot power centre who can play a two-way game and score some. This is by far the most important and difficult position to fill. Dach is proving already that he can dominate in the pressure games and has the needed intensity for playoff hockey. With Dach and Boqvist on board, this team is not that far away.

With Dach and Boqvist on board, this team is not that far away. I agree with Dach. When he was selected, I remember saying “I think I love Stan Bowman”. I thought it was down to Turcotte and Byram. I would have selected Byram of those two. Anyways, do you honestly see much in Boqvist? I haven’t seen much of anything yet. I know he’s a kid, but it really is a young mans game now. I see many many young dmen make an impact. I think if Boqvist was not with Keith, he’d look like a 6th round pick struggling. I think Koekkoek has been much much better than Boqvist. Both are high first rounders. Why does Boqvist have a higher ceiling to most? That’s just me. Good to see you around again my man!!! |

I, like T, thought it was down to Turcotte and Byram and thus that probably had a bit to do with my disappointment cuz I wanted Byram. I also was vocal about my concerns that Dach might not be best suited to be a centerman, which I thought was our biggest need. as it turns out, I was wrong. kid is a center, he is just gonna need to get better at the dot, but otherwise he has everything you would want to be a top 6 center. |

Hopefully that's the case. I was hoping they'd pick him and was surprised when they did. He's got a lot of upside, especially if Toews' face-off skill rub off on him. |
