The third line is awful looking. Why not put Saad on the third line?
- Hawks_For_Life

Because it would be the awfulerest line.

If Saad is going to play bottom 6, put him with Anisimov and a recalled Sikura. That would be super as it would help put Saad in a good position to regain his mojo. Playing 4th line isn't going to do it.

Totally agree. But remember that our HOF coach has won 3 CUPS and is really proficient at getting the most out of his players that are just not producing to their capabilities. Ponder....Michael Kempney, Trevor Daley, Nick Leddy, and probably a few more along his tenure.

Granted those guys aren't superstars but isnt it a coaches responsibility to develop players ?? Strange that those 3 in particular moved on to be productive playets at minimum under different coaches. Maybe that's not the reason, but what if it was ? Maybe a coach that motivates versus demotivates (" He was OK") holds some merit in today's game.

I don't know. .....but what I do know is that I'm tired of his "voice". "I like his gap control, I like his energy, he was good with the puck, etc, etc etc.....is OLD !
And I can only imagine how the rest of the team feels on his shtick.

Saad is just playing along. He'll do whatever the master mind says and play his game, good or bad.

This team had failed the past 2 years for so many reasons, but until the change starts from the top, we fans will just watch and arm-chair it in disgust as the season declines.

Entwistle popped in 2 goals yesterday. Kurashev has 12 points in 10 games. Both of them have good size and upside potential. I'll be keeping an eye on them throughout the year.

Thanks for that update. I was excited for Entwistle, knowing we almost drafted him.

Who cares if you're tired of his voice? Sorry, but that's just plain ridiculous. And you have no clue what is said in the dressing room vs. what you hear in interviews.

In addition to Seattle, apparently Houston is rumored to be a future expansion team with one current NHL owner leading the charge on that. Not that this owner will buy a 2nd team but he seems to be in the know of what cities are ready and have the resources to bid for a team.

It would be hard to go above a nice round number like 32 - although $750MM or so would lessen the logistics and scheduling pain somewhat.

I finally get to see Boqvist tonight in Owen Sound and then Entwistle on Wednesday. I am excited to see some of this years prospects live.

I have a couple games in the calendar to see Entwhistle and Boqvist live.

I will have some nice live updates + will get to see them on local TV as well throughout the year.

Looking forward to reading about those!

Apparently you need about 6-7 mil in cap space to sign him.

Not gonna happen...every game will go to OT, on the way to a 41-0-41 record.

It would also be nice if our hockey players had a better hockey IQ. We have some players do some really dumb things

Oh lord, you're probably right, haha. That's a best in the league record and round 1 playoff sweep.

Sorry but how do you know what I'm privy to ?? You have no idea my friend.

Let's just say that the next time this organization is in contend mode, this HOF coach will NOT be behind the bench.

Wild are annoying
9 shots in 2 periods & 2 goals
2-2

Bad jerseys-name & logo
