Dylan Sikura with a hat trick in scrimmage today... so don't say he can't score.

Against an AHL goalie!

Last week's 31 thoughts podcast (not sure if this was posted earlier)

At about 27:00, they talk about Toews being a total PiTA during the negotiations and mention that only Chicago and Carolina voted down the RTP. Wonder which players' sentiments, other than his own, Toews' vote represented.

He should be our captain... of the Ice Hogs.

Toews?

Is he closer to Matthews/McDavid, or Patrick/Hischier?
- Chunk

in between those subsets...I see him as very comparable to Carolina's Svechnikov, in that they both have toughness and use it and good instincts and play at a higher pace than the average player...
I dont think you can attempt to compare him with one of the quickest powerful skaters in McDavid, and Mathews has proven to be that he is a better stronger player, scorer and horse than I expected.
You WISH that Lafreniere CAN reach franchise level player status, but I think he can be an impact player but he just always a notch better when playing with other dominant guys.

Like a superstitious hockey player or the baseball silence when a no hitter is happening, I did not want to mention the Dach-Lafreniere connection, that I would blow our chances if we lost in the first play in round....

IIRC, Toews was one of the more vocal and militant PA members during the 2012-13 lockout.
