Beginning of season whom would get more goals, DeBrincat or former hopeful star high draft TT? Earlier this year TT had a hot streak. He had the hard working J Staahl and Aho as linemates. Aho looks like a top scorer just blooming but alas is now injured. Meanwhile DeBrincat has not really developed as quickly as it looked like he might. But he has managed to withstand the rigors of a league of giants compared to his frail frame. Tonight both have tallied, DeBrincat #15 and TT #12. Who will finish with more goals?

Keep an eye on * Jurco *♡. Could he supplant someone on the fourth line? Has played well upon recall. Was very effective on pk in Rockford. His speed helps him stay with top offensive players on pk. And if Hayden returns then two thirds a new fourth line POSSIBILITIES trade deadline deals. Why not check into a defense upgrade, one of our dmen plus a fourth line player going to the trade partner. Just a thought

Debrincat is smurf height (5'6"/7") but he has a stocky build. He holds his own against much larger players due to his compact and sturdy frame. When TT came into the league he was the same weight (165lbs) but 5'11".

This latest 4th line in the small sample has looked pretty good, hope they get to
stick together and see what come's of it.

Kampf has really impressed me with his speed, smarts, and work ethic.

pit is bombing the wild 4-0...

playoff push has begun...i think...

Gotta like the work ethic. Nice to have AA back so that Kampf can slot down to 4C.

Q doesn't like the guy, so we know what that means.......Jurco is Panik without the physicality. If he ever finds consistency he can help a team with his skating and skill.

Guess the physical 4th line has been 86ed. Q opting for a possible 4 line set up that can score with skill instead of a grinding 4th line.

Hawk coverage in the high slot has been poor, especially by the centers. At least 4 grade A's for DET in the high slot and wingers came down to tie up a couple more.

Great pass by 19. Atta boy Johhny. THE CAT and Duclair together

nice finish on that one from toews...duclair had a nice set-up from toews but couldn't finish

Yeah, I'd like to see better finish from duclair. Hasn't proven great finish yet.

Looks like someone sent and many recieved the threat of a Sicilian message.

But building on it is the key.

I was at the 7-5 loss to the Devils when the Hawks were up 4-1, but I like what I see so far.

Is Cat auditioning for the Wings?

Cat for AA.

Let's get the cat a hat.

BOTH DeBrincat and TT have scored a second time tonight.

If Duclair works hard and accepts he is not going to live off his offensive game alone, then he should be able to carve a niche here.

I had Little Ceassr's pizza Maybe once, don't recall other than it is cheap pizza. Anyone can say if it is good, just wondering

It's good relative to eating cardboard.

Rosati's was my pick in the suburbs and Michael's Pizza in Uptown on Broadway was my go-to when I lived downtown.

Absolutely.....and he's only going to get better with more ice time.

Good period for Toews....if only he could continue to handle the puck like he's done his whole career. Looked confident for a change.

No thanks I would take the Cat over AA.

I have to admit Jurco does look better than he did last year

Cmon......this team has trouble scoring goals as it is and you want to trade a pure goal scorer for yet another 3C ??
No !! AND I love AA. ....but not for ADB....Hartman and Kempny OK.

Foley blaming all the empty seats on "the concourse being so much fun". Really ??
