Sounds like he'll be a prime candidate to join Rockford next season.

That's what I'm thinking...maybe start in their bottom 6 and go from there. I'm by no means an expert in the Hogs or Ross but that would make sense. Unless Stan trades away 2-3 prospects in Rockford.

Yeah, I don't think I was very clear in my original post. We weren't screaming obscenities by any means, but were making comments directed towards specific players (get the lead out or the game started 10 minutes ago) and commenting on the lousy job done by the zebras, thus earning us the "look" from this guy.

Appreciate the comments though.

Then that's totally different. That guy should take out the cork before its too late.

Like I said in an earlier post; looking around just waiting to be offended by someone.

This is technically Ross' fourth season in the OHL, so he'll most certainly be in the minors next season. As to were he fits in Rockford, it's way too early to tell. It depends on who's still here, and who they re-sign.

He'll be in Rockford or Toledo next season. Maybe even Bloomington?

Wonder if he'll join up for 5-8 year plan like Beach

That's if Beach is still in the organization next season? My guess is that they bring him back for another 2 years at a reduced salary.

Good guess...so another 2 years of watching this kid underachieve and piss it all away with utter stupidity before/after the whistle.

I'm probably late to the party...but the Blackhawks made the cover of Sports Illustrated?

Really?

WTF...

...with the hopes he'll put it together. You know, like Jack Skille.

JJ, mind if I link the trailer to my new short film for some entertainment during this losing streak? Shot in Chicago, New Buffalo MI & St. Clair MI. Main character in one scene (in the movie not the trailer) is reading the Oct 2009 NHL Preview issue of ESPN magazine with Toews, Huet, Kane, & Hossa on it.

but something's telling me Beach may never play in the NHL.

He'll probably surpass Beach in the depth chart next season.

Bolland for whom?

A little late...but we know you're just waking up now so it's all good.

That could be the end result.

Beach has the talent and ability. If he ever puts it together, he'd be an NHL caliber player. It hasn't happened yet, and perhaps he needs a little more time?

Good morning Rob!

Exactly!

I did skim the prior pages, but was in a hurry to catch up...

Early word is Bears have a deal in place with Martellus Bennet as their new TE

Am I the only one that wouldn't be suprised if we heard a Keith for Zetterberg trade offer?
- powerenforcer

Yes...

He's got the physical talent, but simply hasn't matured to the point to stay away from dumb penalties, which in the end makes him a LIABILITY.

Is he a Carcillo type that has to play on the edge to be effective or is he just skilled and dumb at the same time?

Yeah, they should have packaged a few gift cards with him to get someone to bite.

It's an EXCELLENT question. Playing on that edge is part of his game, and he does have a scoring touch, but he seems intent on doing IDIOTIC things, like starting brawls and doing dumb stuff after whistles. If he could play hard between the whistles and avoid scrum stupidity...he'd have a chance. He's his own worst enemy as i see it.
