If he could finish he would be a super star......there was one play where he was standing still as a red wing was going for the puck 20 ft away....got on his horse and caught up to him in a matter of seconds.......when he is on the ice just follow him...your jaw may drop once or twice.

GAME BREAKING SPEED

Go ack to before expansion: 14 games per year against each team, PLUS play-offs.

Talk about time for resentments to build....
- StLBravesFan

Oh yeah...teams would travel on the same train during home and home series' and rumor has it...if you fraternized with the opponent while traveling...you'd get an earful from vets. NO FRIENDSHIPS ALLOWED.

If my Grandmother had wheels she'd be a bus. Of course he'd be a Leaf star if he had hands to match his feet.

Agreed...

If the Hawks don't take so many silly penalties the Hawks destroy Detroit tonight.

Agree that Detroit didn't look like they cared.

I know I was all like "oh damn I don't wanna cheer for a certain match up but imagine if the Wings choke away the season and Dallas gets in as the 8. That would be very sexy.
- mrpaulish

I seem to think Lehtonen is injured. Not sure, though. If he is dallas would be an even better matchup. Still afraid of Detroit. I think we would beat them, but can't rule out Babcock, Dats, and Zetterberg. Phoenix is right there, too.

Right on! I hope they are able to ink him to a deal in the offseason to the point where he's a Hawk for at least a few more years. Not sure it will happen but would be nice.

agree

Hawks sign Leblanc and he will report to the Hawks. Says a lot about what the Hawks think of Pirri.

Very true....

I think it's obvious Pirri isn't in the Blackhawks long term plans. My bet is he'll be traded for a pick at or just before the draft.

You wonder why they didn't just get rid of him before the trade deadline, to give him a chance with a crappy team!!!

Wings, Stars or Jackets.... a wild finish for these 3 times.

Stars always have find away to psss it away...don't think they have enough finish in them

Wings are old, slow and have become a dump and chase team but they are a proud bunch with a grt coach...I think they hold on.

Jackets finish 6 of 7 on road in some tough barns: Wild, Kings, Ducks, Sharks....
they are going to have to earn it the hard way but I like that team alot not sure Bobo magic continues.

Who is this leblance guy??

If they can get a pick.....probably swap prospects.

That would work too, it would be nice to get a decent goalie prospect.

Nice video profile of Teravainen

don't plan on it....saw him twice this year.....nothing special and doesn't really stand out.

I could see Morin on the 4th line next year.....Maybe Stanton as a 7th dman....Hayes continue to be a tweener. Olsen maybe if he comes to camp in shape....Smith probably traded.

Next year will be interesting with Clendening, Nordstrom, McNeil, Danault, Ross, and the new kid Leblanc.....

Supposed to be a fantastic playmaker. He's not small either

I like the signing...doubt he plays this year....maybe last game if the hawks want to rest some people.

Best thing i read in the scouting report Beaver posted earlier...

the kid makes very few mistakes with the puck.

We'll see how he does with less time to react, but looks like a nice pickup.

And how 'bout 'the flow' ?

Did people catch Toews mocking Kane at the 1st star interview?

Kane always hypes up the fans and raises his arms, and Toews did the same thing so mockingly, my buddies and I were dying laughing
