and yet they won... strange.

Boy, can't get one past you, can I? The cold came early and killed the brain cells?

In case any one was curious... Rockford's lineup tonight to start the game:

Samuelsson-T. Sikura-Louis
Ejdsell-Schroeder-Broadhurst
Highmore-Nilsson-D. Sikura
Iacopelli-Knott-Noel

Hillman-Dahlstrom
Carlsson-Raddysh
Gilbert-Tuulola

Notes:

While it looks like D. Sikura and Highmore are on the 3rd line, they started the game and will likely both play top 6 mins tonight.

Gilbert and Hillman get their first games tonight with Campbell and Snuggerud are the scratches. Will be interesting to see that rotation all year.

It will get even more interesting if the Hawks have to send down a body or two when Forsling and Murphy return.

I still get a feeling Stan will move some D assets from either the NHL for forward assets. Nothing other than assumptions, but it just makes sense to me.

Awesome Duncan Keith tribute video with Dream On playing in the back! It kicked ass! He kicks ass! It shows you that being #2 isn't so bad.

Nice, Aerosmith

Even better! LOL

I’m not sure why Q wants his 3 slowest forwards on one line.....

This team needs to stop with the cross ice pass in the defensive or neutral zone area, Joki sees they are taking that away and gets to center ice and shoots it in, the others need to follow suit

Gus, with 3 turn overs in the 1st 4 minutes, including 1 when he shoves it to the Blue standing in the slot in front of the Hawk net.

And Rutta gets caught in the neutral zone as the Blues enter this Hawk zone.

It’s like they’ve never played hockey before.

AA is so soft

Jeebus, do any of our forwards remember what defensive coverage is? It’s like a pee wee game with everyone following the puck.

Joki is taught the push em back entry. Great ....

Just pathetic

Arty 1-0 at the end of pp, I think

The Powerplay is pathetic

Hey softie scored one
