thx for the input...would be interesting to see what pearls of wisdom you had to offer as the hawks were climbing out of the very dark bill wirtz era
- Michael Pachla



No doubt, the Blackhawks had some very bad years. Difference is that we never used loser points and fake math numbers to pretend we were .500

Sure, you could do that. You could also pretend all your 1 goal losses never happened and then you would be a REALLY good team

So does this post make you feel better about yourself ? You seem to have a short memory . It wasn't that long ago that the Blackhawks were the laughing stock of the league . When they were rebuilding did you dash the hopes and dreams other Blackhawk fans? This team improved 25 points from last year . It is only a matter of time till our young guns are leading us to long playoff runs. We are happy with our teams improvement. Glad you could boost your frail ego by coming here and pooh poohing Sabres fans. Really time for you to investigate getting a life.

Kudos on the 25 point improvement. Seriously. That is a major step forward to becoming a playoff team. With your core youth, that could very easily happen next year.

My criticism was towards the bloggers distorted view of what constitutes .500 and the delusional mindset it creates by miscalculating the value of the true definition of a winning percentage.

Does this point have relevance? The league awards loser points. Many teams that appear to be great don't look so great when you decipher the details. The Sabres actually had a nice total of ROWs for where they finished.

One irrefutable fact when you write is the comprehension level related to what people cherry pick out of what you write without using context of the entire piece will constantly amaze you.

- Irish 14


Free agency? PP QB- Goligoski. If he's just looking for an all around good player I would probably rather grab Demers. Demers is the new Anton Stralman

Summer Sabres plans:

-Sign Stamkos
-Sign Versey
-Sign Caggiula
-Trade for QB D
-Draft top winger (with first rounder) (but first win one of 3 lottery picks, haha)
-Make another blockbuster trade (to move some players off roster and get another top 6 guy or Subban)

Get ready for playoffs next year!

Of course I am dreaming a lot, but what a summer if Murray could do that!

I hope not Goligowski
He's ok
But how would u do the defensive pairs if u brought him in?
He's not a "top pair" guy

So would we do...
McCabe-Ristolainen
Goligowski-Bogosian

Idk that McCabe is ready for that

Unless we bring in another guy to play with Risto & put McCabe on the 3rd pair?
But then we'd have to move Franson & Gorges, which is be ok with, we just wouldn't get much back.
Or maybe we'd trade McCabe?
I really don't like that idea though

If all Murray does is...
Draft the best availabile player,
sign Stamkos,
& trade for a legit partner for Risto...
I'll be thrilled

Combine that with bounce back seasons from Ennis & Girgensons, & continued improvement from our young core...
Those moves would have us in the hunt for the division
