Regular season starts, should be a year to evaluate the young d, as most of our prospect forwards are playing in juniors or college let the young dmen play, sure mistakes will be made, but we need to see what we got.

The Hawks GT will likely see 40+ shots. Pens home opener and they should come out strong particularly after just missing the post season last year - and losing to the Hawks at the tail end to boot.

Now I know that forecasts by hockey writers are just individual opinions. However, I saw an article about ESPN listing the NHL teams in order from #1 to #32. The Hawks came in at #30. Just mentioning it for the heck of it.

i give this team a better chance of winning this game than the last one we played in pittsburg. still opted for the L though.
man...this home opener seemed to creep up fast. seems like a couple weeks ago we were still a couple months out.
i enjoyed last season (for the most part) due to the team all pulling together under their new coach. i expect this season will be much more enjoyable despite there still being a large number of losses.
thnx t-man. hope you can string together an 82 game season.
one more sleep for me. i feel the same every year, but this season i have a genuine hope there will be bigger presents under the tree than previous years.

They just have a brutal schedule to start the season. In their first 8 games, they start with 5 straight road games; have 2 games with both Vegas and Boston; at Toronto and at Colorado. Man!! Pens and at Montreal are the “easy” ones.

no big surprise here.
mrazek would've got it regardless, but the last time he played in pittsburg he burned them (and their season) stopping 38 of 40. maybe he'll catch some more of that lightning in a bottle tomorrow? no buddy robinson anymore, so mrazek may have to win this one on his own.

bad news...in our last 20 season openers we're a dismal 7-11-2. good news...the only time we played the pens in a season opener the last 20 years we won 10-1 (2017).
in that game, the only pens remaining today were crosby, malkin, rust, guentzel and letang and they were a combined -18. the only blackhawk remaining was connor murphy and he was a +3.
will history repeat itself? not a f***ing chance. : )
!!!!!!! GO HAWKS !!!!!!!
