My Pee Wee team could have won five titles in that division. Gillis should have been fired last summer. Feel bad he threw Vaignult under the bus. Maybe he could center the Sedins and they could all be afraid of going into the corners.

To be fair, that's an old picture.

I've toned up quite a bit, and am covered in ink now

- Jurco_28


no, not true at all from what I've seen over the years. Hawks fans usually have LONG histories, unwavering support, and knowledgeable respectful fans. I don't ever recall ever meeting a Hawks fan that I would label as "cocky".

"he traded Cody “Jesus” Hodgson, mishandled his goalies and hasn’t signed any big names."

these are YOUR words, not anyone else's. You are correct, he blew it on all three counts.

Hodgson is top six, possibly top 3. Kassian....is.....well... missing a few teeth. That's about all he's good for, a laugh.

This is a Canucks blog, enough Oilers conversation.....

Yep, and unfortunately Kassian probably won't get any better—most forwards peak at 22, right...?

As a Rangers fan, you'll be happy to know that AV sucks.... He'll win every line matchup if that means going 0-82

Doesn't mean it's a foregone conclusion.

I would actually be very surprised if Richardson is on the 3rd, and not the 4th.

His career numbers look pretty sub-par for a 3rd liner...

Also, judging by his FO%, I'd guess the preference would be to use him on the wing, and have him fill in as a C only if he has to.

- Fosco


Of course not. But he is being brought in to battle for it. That is why he signed. I would be surprised if he isnt centering the third line.

Love it. It's so funny because its so true. That 80% couldn't even tell you the name of the Hawks starting goaltender and believe me I'm not exaggerating.

Since you're there, what's the most popular team/sport in Chicago/Illinois? Is it the NFL or College sports, or what?

Gilman was on 1040 today, said he expects him to be the 10 forward, able to play c or w if needed, and has the ability to shift up to the 3rd, so it sounds like he's expected to be on the 4th

I would have to say that the Cubs are the most popular which is a joke but then the Hawks because they are the flavor of the month right now. College isn't as popular as pro sports.
