You CHEERLEADERS make sure to wash your uniform before tonights game.

Make sure Mommy irons it for you too.

There aren't many Bowman apologists on this site, and I don't think there would be many tears if he was fired, but you never add anything to the conversation. You just go on your mini tirades, and I'm pretty sure 99% of us want it to stop. If you want to add something constructive, please do. Otherwise, STFU

No one wants to hear from you little boy.

Now go take your nappie and find your binkie. The adults are talking.

Just kidding John but it definitely won't be the same without you here. Sent you a PM.

look forward to the new site.

Meanwhile Hawks fans there's a game tonight...

Hawks at the Lanche - for some reason the Hawks always have trouble in that building.

Wondering if we'll see another snooze fest from the offense this evening. Meanwhile Hawks are what 2nd to last in shots against. Crawford is your MVP.

I read that Keith had an egregious turnover in the defensive zone slot that led directly to the Preds 1st goal less than 1 minute into Period 2. Again, if we are going to grill rookies like Forsling, Debrincat, Rutta, ect...then the veterans need to be held accountable too (By Q and the fans)

Absolutely Spot ON !! If Kempney makes that horrible pass that Keith made, he's in the press box until January. All we hear is about the fantastic play of Duncan Keith, yet he makes as many mistakes as the young dmen but never gets called out for them. Especially by the totally biased Foley and Konroyd. Keith and Seabrook need some pine time as well if everybody is to be held accountable. Both were terrible last night, yet Kempney, Forsling and Rutta played well.

This team is all about the lackluster play from the CORE guys so far. Where has Saad been the last several games ?? Maybe the poor play of Toews is affecting his play too. Although, I did see a few really nice offensive shifts by 19 last night when he actually controlled the puck for more that 2 seconds and created something.

Anisimov needs to be on the 1st PP unit because he can get in front and also control the puck in the O zone. He played his best game last night. Want to really shake things up ??? Move AA to line 1 with Saad and Panic and move Toews to line 3 with Sharp and Hartman. That will send a message to 19 that he needs to step up his play on a consistent basis. ADB needs to be with Kane and Schmaltz like he was in the preseason where they had success. Last night's attempt by Quenneville to shake up the lineup by putting ADB and Panik on their wrong wings was a failure because neither player played well and were seemingly uncomfortable.

Crawford played well as always making HUGE saves on breakaways but allowing somewhat of a softy in on the Duncan Keith turnover to tie the game 1-1. That wrist-shot came from the high slot and it's one that he'd probably want back, nobody near him at all.....but I certainly can't blame him for the loss and he'll be consistent most every game with the big saves. He is NOT the problem.

This team needs offense and I feared this when the trade of Panarin was made.
Saad is absolutely a better overall player but he is not a creator of scoring attempts but a finisher around the net. When he's not doing that, their scoring is going to suffer.

Tonight is going to be a BIG test with the back to back and in the light air of Colorado. I fear another let down game since the AVS got crushed by VGN last night. Let's hope for a rebound game with 4 plus goals to win.

I'm sure you were watching the great comeback in Columbus, but you probably missed the Michigan State QB fumbling and throwing an interception in the same play to end the game against Northwestern.

Shipakov for AA and 5th. Or AA hartman forsling 1st 2019 to carolina for faulk + pick or prospect. 3Rd round or 4th. For mcnabb from vegas or include mcnabb in the shipavov trade above instead of 5th a 3rd or 4th. Just spitballing but bowman will wait and sit on his hands while hawks look disjointed with no identity. Shipokov gives 3td center with speed plus his contract only one more year faulk puck moving d man and can quater back a pp.

Agree on most everything u say ,Think AA up with Toews and Saad on the wing could be a very heavy line ,then DBC with Kane and Schmaltz should be back together. After that well we have a good mix for that .Bring back Vinny

How does Stan not reAlize this brilliance and make moves?
If it's so easy to assemble a cup team in October, why are There only a handful of teams out of the gate quickly? And half of those are a surprise???
Looks like someone is slacking knowing they're out the door....what are they gonna do, fire me??? Tick, tick, doc

Actually James Franklin had just used his final TO when MSU was fumbling can not believe he was able to recover and throw but what a nice INT Hug That Ball Kid, Game Over! One thing about a Pat Fitz coached team is they are capable of beating any team any day in Evanston.......Still left time to see JT convert the down and run the clock out Game Over Nice Win Buckeyes!! Nice Job holding the *Sequinned Heisman frontrunner to 41 yards on 22 carries. College Football Lives Large in This House

EPIC WIN! Barrett with a Heisman Trophy worthy performance. Wow.

I thought they were done. Great win for your Buckeyes. I always root for OSU because I want Michigan to be the only team that beats them. I'll most likely have to wait another year.

IMO Keith did make a bad pass, but he also made many really good plays defensively. That is why you don't bench him for a bad pass. You need your best guy on the ice and his positives outweigh the odd mistake.

EPIC WIN! Barrett with a Heisman Trophy worthy performance. Wow.

Your posts have a feverish, cryptic quality. I reread em a bunch of times and still fail to understand what you're trying to say.

We're sports fans. We all love the Hawks, but we can talk about other things. We've talked about the Cubs, Bears, pizza, and many other things. It'll be ok if we talk about college football for a few posts.
