He and his girlfriend just had a son in February - maybe she is saying "I need some help, here!" and he wanted to get back closer to the fam.

Use the laughing icon all you want, but that matters. Especially to first time parents that might be close to their families.

Yes, inappropriate icon (deleted) - it definitely matters. Only reason I thought of it was because of all of my friends and family who've leaned on their families, particularly the grandparents, for support during the early days.

Yes! Kampf back where he is best.

Another great star. Less than 6 minutes into the game and it’s over already.

Not only are the Hawks horrible on face offs, they must lead the league in getting thrown out of the face off circle.

Yeap, highly doubt Highmore would replace Soderberg under normal conditions, but you never know.

God damn, can the hawks hold onto a pass? Anyone?

Stick slashed out of Strome's hands there at the end and no call. Overall a better start to this game than the last several.

So their first choice to take the faceoff can't. Might have something to do with a horsepoop win percentage.

Kane and been playing like ass for two weeks now.

And poopty passing

What a goddamn moron Kane has been

Some games, they can be impossible to watch.

Not on a ledge though, just turning it off.

Really?

Hawks are very watchable this afternoon, especially compared to recent games.

Two bad plays (Zadorov penalty, Kane giveaway), can’t get anything past Soros....

But very watchable.

Darn, Arvidsson might be hurt.

Such a shame because of the great starts to both periods, gone away by careless plays that the preds capitalized on.

That Kane pass was just dumb. Preds are lining up across the blue line making entries tough, so dump it in and go get it.

None of these idiots want to shoot, they always want the pretty play I don't know how many times they've been scored on with a shot then a rebound tap in, but they can't do that themselves I guess

Ya, I should rephrase, sometimes, (even though it has been OK to pretty good all year, the Power Play and the entry) can be impossible to watch..
