That hockey is a team sport?

Saad did? I though that was a team championship? Sorry but individual players don't win Titles, TEAMS do. Maybe 19+88+7+Bowman should've remembered that the team success was bigger than your "marketing stars" cap hits.

Saad definitely contributed to winning championships versus winning individual bonuses.

But hey, I look forward to another scared Panarin in the playoffs and then it will be everyone else's on Columbus' fault, because he is the best ever

Saad won 2 cups before Panarin was ever scouted to come to the NHL

What has Panarin ever won?

I'll hang up and wait for my answer

That is true, and everyone knows breadman has yet to win. However, ask yourself this: Would the 'Hawks have won in '13 and '15 with Panarin and not Saad? I say, "yes". Especially in '13. Plus, who knows how lethal Kane would have been those seasons knowing breadman was on the left side. And he had Zus at centre in '13 and Vermette in '15. Yes, Toews would not have Saad but he still had Hoss.

We quickly forget how deep those teams were. Panarin's time here was with notably less depth than Saad's first stint.

Just can’t believe how adept other teams’ shooters are at hitting the high corner - either side - and the Hawks can’t do it at all.

There's that to, poor effort by Oesterle to block Duchenes shot

No that they make what they make, but hey good news only 7 more years of those contracts or is it 6

Surprise surprise buddy! Apparently you were unaware that the NHL awards trophies for various accomplishments. I should not have to be the one to inform you about this. Well accordingly they award an NHL rookie of the year trophy. It's called The Calder Trophy. You should have known about this trophy already. Anyway Panarin won it. There you learned something. Panarin also finished in the top dozen scorers his first two years in the league with the Hawks. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Yep...Mr individual award/me first Panarin

He also was a 24yr old that got to play with Kane, competing against 18yr old who never played pro hockey, which he alread was, or did you not know that?

And do you really think he was a better rookie than McDavid?

Let's see who's smoking with your answer

No argument he contributed a heck of a lot in 13+15. My point is that the lack in talent, production and execution across the entire roster is why the Hawks were 1st round bounced, not bc Panarin only cares about Performance Bonuses as you so baselessy accuse.

You say "yes" but that's a guess. Saad scored gritty goals and was.never scared to get hit.

But I thought they were the greatest scoring line in Hawk history and now they lacked talent? Which is it?

Earth calling Pat.....Would'a could'a should'a right? Facts don't count right? Saad is better than Panarin right? I think you have smoked enough already.

- PatShart

He also was very very very good when Toews or Hossa dumped the puck creating enough pressure to create turnovers in the o zone, they could of used him against the Blues or Preds series

So you're saying he was a better rookie than mcDavid?

Deflect much? I never said that and you ignore my primary point, team success/team failure. You wanna scapegoat Panarin, that's your right. I disagree and it's indisputable that Saad is awful this year while Panarin has continued to be excellent this year. When CBJ loses again in the playoffs, it won't be his fault...though I'm sure you'll say it is.

So isn't part of contributing to a teams success willing to getting hit to make a play? Being responsible defensively? Going to tough scoring areas?

I agree Saads production is down this year - what is their goal difference between the two?

Guys - this is an important game with critical playoff implications.

Focus please.

I hate the shootout...

I hate the shootout...

unless the Hawks win

Damn you rockem sockem robots, can't we all just get along?

AdB is going to be a major star in this league - special talent.

I'm hoping for 20 shots

From your mouth to God's ears.

Stones shot hahaha hahaha

very nice OT and SO for forsberg...and the race to the lottery stalls for one game

Pretty hard to lose to Ottawa, they stink. Though Ceci is a nice enough player.
