Darling has been terrific...it's everyone around him that concerns me.

Easy zone entries and plenty of space=shooting gallery

Keep in mind shots are 20-10 right now in favor of the team in red...

Damn TVR, simple game.....get it out.....damnit. Q must be going nuts inside.

Especially with StL who always attack in layers, very dangerous team from the blue line in.

2 guys I was thinking that can score a little and are good on faceoffs are Derek Ryan of Carolina and Luke Glendening from Detroit. Not big, but might be a good 3rd line center then a great shutdown 4th line.

Chicago watching Carolina maybe they have there eye on him also.

True. And we're up 2-1.

Oh yeah...there's that problem as well.
- ArlingtonRob

Still though Rob our team is playing some very solid hockey right now you must admit.

JR and Jones talking up Hanzal.

I just remember the 2014 WCF when the Kings big centers overwhelmed the Hawks. Adding Anisimov helped. And clearly it was why they went out and got Vermette in 2015.

Right now, the Hawks really could use a another centerman who can win draws, preferably a guy who can handle the rough going.

I know a guy down south ...

Dude you are absolutely on fire this afternoon and tonight...first the Blues bus, the stripes quote and now this...well played sir!!!! God I miss John Candy he was fantastic...
- DK002

Thanks DK, appreciate it. We lost Candy WAY TOO soon!!! Underrated comedic actor in my book. And no one said we can't have a little fun while we talk about our favorite team.....no?

They just outshot the blues 20-11 in the first and the shot attempts were 29-11. Where is this shooting gallery?

I've always really liked Glendennig's game.

The key for the Hawks is not giving any great chances to Tarasenko. He is the one that kills the Hawks if he gets too much space to shoot.

Solid work and info JJ. Opinions differ, most of us including you post what we think is right which it only sometimes is. Lebrun is all about the Habs and Leafs anyway, not the WC so much.

Alright my fellow Hawks fans keep me well informed on the action. My friends are forcing me to watch The Oscars....

They like him for sure, its obvious. Let's hope Stan can get someone to either help on the LW or on draws. Especially d-zone/PK situations.

Ignore the critics out there JJ.

We appreciate the info you provide us.

I don't know. I'm actually kinda wishing Stan would call Holland back and get Steve Ott.

Then they are not your friends!

Hey Boys,

Been dark for awhile. Got laid off in June but resubscribed as Dirk33Graham... is the Darling start tonight a sign of things to come? I love Crow , but 6MM is 6MM.. is his contract unprotected in the expansion draft?

Come on SJ, get some new friends man!!!!!

I don't know. I'm actually kinda wishing Stan would call Holland back and get Steve Ott.
- John Jaeckel

And no, I have not heard Ott's name in any rumors from my guys.

I've always really liked Glendennig's game.
- SimpleJack

Please take him. He is god awful and has a terrible contract.

I don't know. I'm actually kinda wishing Stan would call Holland back and get Steve Ott.

Please take him too.
