Hell of a hockey game in Buffalo. Matthews had a pretty unbelievable toe-drag to snap shot bar down with 2 secs in OT. 15 goals in 14 games for Matthews.

How about that Calgary-Columbus game? Final score 9-6 Flames.

Gotta love those defenseless games.

Did Torts have a heart attack and drop dead on the bench after seeing his “defense first” team give up a 9 spot??!!

I see Rocky giving the okay on trading core players, I just don't know who or how soon. I do want to know what happens behind closed doors ....
Which comes first, players requesting a trade, or going to the players to waive?

Right there with ya, I think players ask first, though the
organization should be taking the lead, mcd messes the
pic for sure.

A team with S Jones and Werenski on defense. Plus R Murray has to be one of better third pair. Honestly how does a Torterello team surrender so many goals this season?

Do not say Panarin adds to the defensive woes. He is no defensive great player. Where do the problems lie?

Maybe Big Bob had a suck night in net? Same can be said for Cal's goalie.
I meant team defense by the way, not just the defense.

Hawks should look to acquire Kapanen from Toronto. Elite speed and shot, and much bigger than his Dad. He’s gunna get bumped out of the Top 6 when Nylander is back.

EDIT: Stanley Cup Rematch in Sin City, and odds are looking good Wilson vs Reaves scrap. Reaves has 6 goals this year BTW

Watching LA vs AZ and I still don’t understand why Hammer was traded...would still be the best 1v1 Defender on the Hawks by a mile....as he ALWAYS was for 3 Cups. Very underrated core member on the Cups, and similarly in The Tank. It’s no coincidence to look at the defensive team play after losing Hossa and Hammer summer 2017....

Torts pulled Bobrovsky midway through the 3rd after giving up the 8th Calgary goal. Would have lived to see his post game press conference.

Playing with Keller and Galchenyuk. Looks the same lol. Flashes of offensive creation mixed with overpassing and lost puck/physical battles.

Hammer looks real solid.

Coyotes on the PK this year...11 goals scored vs 5 goals allowed

That Toronto-Buffalo game was fun to watch. Toronto is an offensive juggernaut. Matthews has missed half the season and now has 15 goals in 14 games. And, they get to add Nylander to that lineup of Matthews, Tavares, Marner, Marleau, Kapanen, Kadry and a bunch of good depth scorers.

I could get behind that, but what would be the cost?

Reaves with a hard hit to Wilson's. Wilson being helped to the bench. Reaves kicked out of game.

Looked like a blind side shoulder to shoulder hit by Reaves to Wilson. Wilson didn't have the puck. 5 minute interference and game misconduct to Reaves.

Reaves can get lost too.i do not like him and he isn't much of a hockey player

In a side note Icehogs dman, D Gilbert, suspended three games for illegal hit to head

Recall him when we play Vegas and Washington!

Tom Wilson just got rocked by Reaves. He has no idea where he is.

Just scored a PP goal

Still soft in a board battle

I think your first statement outweighs your second statement.

That's crazy! I don't think they will keep that up though.

Wasn't a head shot. Wilson's helmet flies off after the hit and his head hit the ice when he fell.

I guess he will miss 40 games 1 way or another.
Thanks for the hit breakdown.
