Apples and oranges then. Can't compare them on offensive stats because of their roles on the team.

Looking forward to the overpay effect in Nashville.

agreed... and frolik's GWG on the penalty shot vs DET in game 6 on the road was still bigger than any goal stalberg scored all year.

Dad...is that you?!?!
- eburgio

Well he's not skilled enough to get away with that, better change if he wants a shot at the big team
- rollpards19

The year he was drafted, he made it public that his goal was to make the big team out of camp that year. Of course he didn't and may not playing SOFT like he does.
Puzzling part is...he can throw down and is a decent fighter...but seems too nice on the ice for his own good.

Question for the group....

Who do you think was more valuable to this team last year:

StaHlberg or Frolik?
- Ogilthorpe2

Hah. You had to go there. Thought we settled on this yesterday
- eburgio

This is the new " I wish we still had Buff on the team". We'll be going back to this discussion from time to time for the next year or so.

Maybe he needs some of the crazy gene of which Kyle Beach has cornered the market

Could be a DUD. Hope i'm wrong.

I think it's too early for that.

That was a beautiful move Fro made too....i didn't see that coming...little shoulder fake, then backhand shelf....poor Bob Cole called this goal like he lost his puppy dog.

No Teravainen in camp?

I think it's too early for that.

It is...not liking what i've seen from him collectively.

I'm young and American, but hearing Bob Cole I don't get how he still has a job. He only knew like half the players on the Hawks and he bores the crap out of me

good memories... remember my head about hitting the ceiling after that one

Too much travel with the Finnish U20 team, decided to not make him come

Amen.

I'm old and Canadian and other than being a Legend in Canada Bob Cole should have been put out to pasture a few years ago. A bunch of my buddies and I get a chuckle when he calls guys the wrong name. Still have a great voice though. And I have read, not sure if it's true, that old Bob is a Blackhawk fan.

Understood.

- Ogilthorpe2

Awesome!

Question for the group....

Who do you think was more valuable to this team last year:

StaHlberg or Frolik?
- Ogilthorpe2

Frolik hands down.

I'd even go further and say StaHlberg was the least important player on the Hawks, in the playoffs and regular season. He was the most valuable whenever the Hawks played Columbus two years ago!

- philco28

I think he's already more valuable than StaHlberg ever was.

I think it's too early for that.
- EKolb13

Never too early to completely write someone off

That seems to be the tell-tale sign of an announcer that should no longer be announcing. Pat Summerall started to do it. Richard Enberg did it during the basketball games and now the crypt keeper Richard Stockton is doing it.
