I think TVR is fine as a bottom pairing D guy. His possession numbers support that, but with 27 in there, the #6 d-man will be whomever is playing best.

I just hope Krugs can get his faceoff mojo working since Stan wasn't able to go get a faceoff man.

Kempny is the d-man playing the best and he's still sitting. Krugs has already improved at the dot in the past few games and taking more draws. Keep up Biskit!

Gibson is on IR. Has been for the past week or 10 days. Reported to be a muscle strain. I know this because he is on my fantasy team.
- MartiniMan

Ah - that explains it. Thx.

I remember how great Kruger played against ANA in the WCF , our D was great but without Kruger driving ANA forwards crazy we never would have got by them . Will have to keep a eye on Eaves tonight ,he is still very hot . GO HAWKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- oldduffman

Not sure his looks have anything to do with it, but that beard, though.

Coach probably giving Kempny some extra rest. We got back to back games tonight and in Detroit tomorrow. I'd expect him and maybe even Rosi in the lineup tomorrow to keep these D-men's legs as fresh as possible with the mad rush of games coming up

What is the payout for each of these achievements?
- PuckAndSticks

he already has 850k in bonuses locked up and can get another 1.7m if he reaches any one of those statistical levels.

The same James Tanner than said this years Hawks team was going to miss the playoffs?

Thanks Tanuki.....excellent stuff. The question I have for the board is we all know Q loves to have the PAK line out for empty netters, do you think he'd risk pissing off Kane and Panarin and go with a shut-down line instead? You know Kane just LOVES the opportunity to get those free points.

And I'm sure Q knows exactly what the bonus structure is for Breadman. Control freaks never have too much info.

And I love the Q man.

Nice catch on the fist bump. Too focused on Q blowing a gasket. That gif reminds me of this awareness test.

Good lines. They'd still be nice lines flipflopping Hartman and Jurco. Then again, lines are never 100% intact the whole game due to players making shift changes at different times (not to mention Q's blender getting turned on once in a while) so we're bound to see different combinations anyway.

have not seen any eruptions from mt Q so far this year...

all time favorite

Agree with you here Assman (just chuckled to myself typing that), but then you'd have to pry TVR away from Q's cold dead hands 1st.

Once again, you are either IN or OUT with Q. Regardless of the progress and great potential Kempny has shown, he will NEVER get to TVR "can do no wrong" status.

Dry cleaning?
Car detailing?
Shoe shining?
Knob polishing?

Mr. Kempny has not been properly indoctrinated.

I hear there's a new movie coming out: "The Wrath of Q."

First sentence SPOT ON!!!!!!!! Watch TVR get a great assist/goal tonight to "ruin" my negativity (I'll gladly eat my words).

Panarin is fist bumping Kane. Hossa is just knocking a stick away from him.

Kempny gets bumped? Lame. Just put Soupy on his off side with 6

Campbell does not play his offside well - even with an excellent partner in Keith, Campbell played poorly on his offside. He even mentioned how he doesn't like to do it.

People need to stop looking at it as a Kempny vs TVR thing and more of a what pairings are best for balance. So, you either get Campbell-TVR or Kempny-TVR as your bottom pair. Campbell is currently better than Kempny, even if Kempny has more potential, so there you go.

And if Campbell doesn't re-sign for next year, Kempny slides into his space.

Was in STL this week and happened to catch the entire Wild-Blues game.

Was not overly impressed with Wild. Granted they are having some health issues, etc.

Blues really took it to them, and Dubynk is starting to morph back into a pumpkin. Bad rebound control, etc.

Point is, with the added additions and IF the Hawks can stay remotely healthy really feel they have a very good chance of advancing deep. Sharks may hold the biggest challenge assuming they get out of the pacific.
