Difference is this years team busts it’s ass to get the puck back.

Yeah good point.

Young players being tripped and held tonight, gotta fight through it

I am going to start calling Hagel and Highmore Sikura 1 and Sikura 2

Right now it looks like they couldn’t score at an all girls school.

If i recall correctly, in Saad's rookie season(the lockout shortened 2012/13 season when we were dominating everyone) he came out flying and showed off his talents despite having back luck with the puck finding the back of the net(took him a while to finally get that first goal). And when he finally broke through the goals just kept on coming. And he cemented his role as a winger you could slot on any of the top 3 lines.

What's my point? Hagel's season thus far is looking VERY similar. And I have a feeling once he breaks through we might see him follow that same path. Really hoping so.

For all the awful passing in this game, that was outstanding

Time for Torts to have a meltdown

God i hope so

Even when sloppy, i love that they are always working and hustling.

Don't care if Hagel scores, he definitely tilts the ice in his teams favor

His style of hockey contributes to the ultimate goal, wins

I might just have to get me a Hagel jersey, love this kid

Just want to mention, it's nice to see these kids have the stones and park their arse at the front of the net, refreshing

No one has ever disliked JC.

Yea, JC is the man!

But I noticed the Panthers just knocked off TB tonight, and FLA has the highest points percentage in the Discover Central. Only 1 regulation loss.

I’d still rather have Q behind the Blackhawk bench.

Like all coaches, Q’s message became stale. The team was no longer responding to him. Quenneville’s time in Chicago is over. There is no doubt who the more successful coach is but right now this is Colliton’s team and so far he’s doing a good job with this young team.

Besides, we all know Q hates kids!

The Q that missed the playoffs last year?

Too much youthful exuberance this game.

Soderburg going to the net and screening the fool like that is sweet.

Z bringing out more turtling, that's great

Covered him like a blanket

So far there is nothing about BoweybI don’t like.

How dumb is Highmore, bye bye, bring in Johnson

So far there is nothing about BoweybI don’t like.

He was good in junior. I remember he played well on Canada’s world junior team. Not sure why he hasn’t had success in the NHL so far? Hopefully he finds his game in Chicago.

Man you talk about some puck luck for the Blue Jackets
