Just like in last year's playoffs officiating was awful against ottawa and Nashville pitt got away with a ton don't even play the playoffs just give the cup to pitt (sarcasm implied)

Sooooo many diapers.

LOL.. Man been there done that father of 3!

DuClair has skills in addition to speed - hopefully he’ll learn how to put it all together and become a hockey player.

He’s only 22.
- StLBravesFan

I'd like to see him get back with #19 and #20 for a longer stint.

This is where I'd like to hear PowerEnforcers conspiracy theories. I am baffled at how costly it is for other teams to clear salary or have other teams eat it, except Pittsburgh.

That's tin foil material!

Hell Yeah!!!!!.... Lol

I really hope Rutta can settle in and play consistently. Can't deny he can be effective jumping into the play, but some games he was taken advantage of defensively. I think they are gonna keep him around.

Halderman, Erlichman, Mitchell, and Dean.

For anyone who thinks Vegas just got in the trade to help Pittsburgh win another Cup your wrong. There was lots of talk that Winnepeg had been working HARD to get Brassard for their Playoff push so when Pittsburgh and Ottawa hit a snag Vegas agreed to help out in order to keep him away from a team in the West. In return they were able to get a power forward in Reaves plus a high 4th (Vancouver's from the Pouliot trade). Not great by any means but there was a reason they got involved

ah yes...my early teens when all this went down...

I can't believe Q started Berube tonight

It was nice not to see so many odd man advantages against us tonight

look out i smell a lottery killing pt streak starting...

only 10 points out now, 20 games to go, and STL continues to fall. . .

Is that what that smell is?

Nice to see them playing competitive, score wise, hockey tonight, actually past few games

Ah yes...essentially eliminated from the playoffs so no pressure and they start winning games......

Don’t know why but I thought Tom Lehrer (“Poisining Pidgeons in the Park”) wrote and performed the song....

this all makes a lot of sense...LTIR craw gives the hawks flexibility to take 5-6 mildo contract plus the additional hossa cap space is till available..

for all you stanbow "haters"..he ain't going anywhere if he is being allowed to make bolder and bigger moves...and i still seriously doubt Q goes...unless it's a mutual parting...hawks are not going to fire a HOF coach with 3 cups and 5 trips to WC finals...

should be an interesting weekend to see what stanbow pulls off...

whatever he does probably just sets him up for the draft and additional deals...
- bogiedoc

The hawks would and should fire ANYBODY that they deem detrimental to the team’s success regardless of resume (ie past accomplishments). To say otherwise is shortsighted and ridiculous. Now I’m not saying Q should be fired or is a detriment to the team all I’m saying is if that’s what they felt HOF 3 cups 5 wcf trips ain’t gonna save his job.

All goalies who get up to the Show look good - UNTIL they HAVE to make a save with 5 minutes left.

The better than good goalies make the “have to” save - the not so good ones don’t.

NOW I’ll say - nice game by Jean-Francois.

The only upside is that some of these guys might be showcasing themselves for a better return at the deadline.

Glad the boys won, but still not impressed. San Jose is not playing at all well late, they were on 2nd of a b2b...wins over the Senators and Sharks is not a reason to start talking playoffs.

...the mathematical possibilities of a playoff even with 2 wins against two beatable opponents are still extremely unlikely. Would I love to see them make a run at it? Sure, but I'd slow my roll right now.

Or the kiddies and the poorly treated Murphy are beginning figure things out.

I'd give it a bit more, starting with tomorrow in CBJ...the mathematical possibilities are still extremely unlikely. Would I love to see them make a run at it? Sure, but I'd slow my roll right now.

Yeah, I'm convinced they are not making it. But, is our FO?

Personally, I think the Hawks are a heavy PR marketing organization. I fully expect them to tow the party line that they are gonna make a run at the playoffs, no matter how bleak things are. They literally need to go something like 17-3 over the last 20...
