Nope not that big: The 6-0, 195-pound forward tallied 147 points (42G, 105A) in 171 career games at St. Cloud State. He was named to the 2013 All-WCHA First Team and, for the first time in the 52-year history of the WCHA, was named Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year and Player of the Year. LeBlanc, a two-year team captain for the Huskies, was a four-time Academic All-WCHA nominee and was named the 2012 WCHA Scholar Athlete recipient.

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

thats a hell of a resume, wouldn't mind seeing him be another jamie benn or james neal type kid, or is that a stretch?

The way Sharpie busts their balls throughout is OUT'PHUCKING'STANDING

to be honest, Shaw worries me, he might be worth a bench in favor of Olesz.

Since he got rung by COL, he hasnt been the same

I thought tonight was his best game in weeks, but he looks scared to catch passes in the middle of the ice (problem when you play center)

Crow: said he and coaches watched video to correct his shootout technique. They discovered he was moving backward too fast and SLOWED IT DOWN...

C2 was HUGE in the S/O

I actually agree, I wouldn't scratch Shaw for Olesz.

Right now, maybe Carcillo. When the roster is healthy, nobody. The only reason I was suggesting to give Olesz a shot was when both Hossa and Sharp were injured.

If I know JJ he's prolly gonna talk about him being overaged and the competition he;s been playing against... Sounds to me a little slow for the pro game... Ceiling perhaps a Morin with an eye for the open man... If he had Shaw's tenacity maybe has a shot...

Good luck with that.

Saw the Leblanc signing. Is he really gonna see some ice time these last few games? If thats the case, Pirri should request a trade. I still have no idea why Pirri is not getting a look. The kid has paid his dues and is putting up good numbers. Now is the perfect time. And a great game tonight. Huge surge to tie it and then almost win it in regulation. CC was good. Wings just look tired.

LaLonde was a +6 and his scoring line was 0 goals, 1 assist

That's not easy...

One day very soon, Olesz will be bought out and he'll be gone forever...

...how long till the tears dry is any ones guess.

I can't help but be fascinated by this Drew LeBlac signing. The guy is a center who can dish, so I'm immediately intrigued...

...does he have what it takes to play at the NHL level?

I guess he'll be an RFA this July, so he'll get a quick look now and perhaps another deal this summer.

I'm always curious about guys like this that remain undrafted and then have great college careers prior to entering the NHL at 23...not the usual path.

Rockford needed to win last nite and Pirri was the best player on the ice.

Sloppy game last night, but the Hawks came back for the last Central Crown. Loved Leddy's play towards the end of the third last night when he road Frazen into the boards behind the Hawk net.

Interested to see what if any ice time LeBlanc gets here and as mentioned an RFA this summer.
