We had 101 points last year...we like our team
- southernhawk

Many more rumor-rama's of trades that will never happen....oh yeah!

Just the ticket - glacial Brian Boyle not a HOF player like Jagr with 999 assists. Ask Claude Giroux who he'd rather have on his wing.
- RickJ

he would be a 4th line C -with size and faceoff ability - not old as dirt and I don't think he pulls a groin everytime he steps on the ice

Just saw that Moncton choked away a 3-1 lead after 2...

...lost to Victoriaville again 6-5 in OT

Actually, Moncton was up 5-1 with 7 minutes left.

Historic gag job....Danault with a bad third.

ok...you say so...

dreger and mckenzie are usually all over this stuff...and its crickets chirping from them
- bogiedoc

So basically no deal then?

Go Steelies!!
- Beaver-Warrior

Boys are showing some FIGHT. Stevie Larmer was there again to support his step son, who was a healthy scratch for Belleville.

Roar...don't take this personally...but i'm going off...y'all are entitled to your opinion...but John McDonough has been PHUCKING PHENOMENAL for our beloved franchise.

I was just reflecting on the Black Hole years between '97 and '08. McDonough and Rocky and Dale totally turned that GIANT PHUCKING BALL OF poop around....i believe they deserve RESPECT and not DERISION.

What's the problemo with John McD ? Please enlighten me.
- philco28

I take nothing personal, so no worries there. :thumbs up:

Been a Cub fan for too long, that kind of sets the stage, but its not so much about the history. Lets just examine the "value" to the brand of having celebs shoot the puck.

First of all, what is it?

Secondly, if anything, the choice of celebs can actually do more harm to a brand than good.

For me, an older school fan, intermission is for nothing but a wiener drain and another beer.

So basically no deal then?
- Fooseshark

By the sound of it. For now. Until further notice.

I heard Boston finally agreed to give them Subban or Spooner and that was it. Now hearing maybe not. Hawks did have a very nice offer on the table.
- John Jaeckel

What was the Hawks offer JJ and don't let HanktheWANK scare you from sharing deets

Hey Kitch...dark grey suit and a brown tie?...no mirrors in your house??

He often times meddled in the Cubs organization on the baseball side and made dexisions for profit over on the field product. Sometimes it seems he is doing the same with the Hawks. He has served his purpose though.
- mrpaulish

As far as marketing...kudos to McD but keep your nose where it belongs. If I'm a GM I shouldn't have to run every deal by you for your approval unless a lot of money is coming in......

Thanks Mr. P


Always nice to understand the root of the hostility.

really seeming to be that AGAIN!

Would sure be nice if the Hawks could just bury someone...

he would be a 4th line C -with size and faceoff ability - not old as dirt and I don't think he pulls a groin everytime he steps on the ice
- dpard

Boyle would do well to pull both of his groins if it made him play like Jagr at 41. Solid 1G 1A on the year. Jagr hobbling along with only 14G on the year. You are comparing a Lada to a Mercedes my friend.

Now they need to steal one on the road.

Brace yourself...Hawks to the PK...

...game on the line.

- Return of the Roar

Cool Roar...thanks for the insights..guess we could argue about the validity of any promotion the Hawks try...but one thing that I was really proud to see was them visit Walter Reed in Washington last year.

To me, McD and co. are always trying to do decent things. The Bill Wirtz era was so bloody dark...that McD and his efforts are not only classy IMO...but a real breath of fresh air...compared to the medieval crud we all witnessed under the
Old P R I C K

kip and and inept (10 min) hwk pp keeping this from being a blow out...**sheesh**

Now they need to steal one on the road.
- Beaver-Warrior

They have good MO though still a tall order.

can't help NYR suck this year - he was a key piece last year and played well.
I'm not begging for boyle - he was an example of someone that would fill holes on hawks
jagr - beyond his expiration date
hell, brunette had 12 goals last year

The root issue is that McD never seems content to be chief huckster - at which does do a decent job. Always wants more say/authority, and RECOGNITION for the performing success of the team he his chief huckster for.
