How bout no, Scott
- SimpleJack

Yes, I'd love some chocolate ass cream.

Is Edm his request? Or are there others where he wants to play?
- I Am The Breadman

He's not going anywhere

How reliable is this info and where did it come from?
- Scott1977

This is how rumors get started, especially when they don't play a game for 5 days

Looking for a buyer for Saad, we shall call it, "The Alan Parsons Project." (Move pinky to corner of mouth)

It's been a foggy day here in downtown Toronto.

Happy MJ day my fellow Canucks.

Canada celebrates Micheal Jordan Day?????

Is Forsling cleared to play tomorrow?
- SoftServe

He's not off the IR but I guess neither is Crawford officially. I would assume the Hawks have put the paperwork in on Crow.

I doubt Forsling plays for another couple of weeks. Then they'll need to figure it out.

They really need to give Davidson a game.to see what they have and just out of pure respect because the guy might get sent down to RFD without even playing a game... meanwhile the Hawks D has been a tirefire.

I have no issues with Schmaltz only that I think he slots better as a W than a C. IMO a bonafide top 6 NHLer. What I like best is he takes to coaching both on an off the ice. If you saw him play jrs and then after his 2 yrs at North Dakota you wouldn't believe it was the same kid. ....... He worked hard on the defensive side of the puck and improved dramatically. If he shows that kind of improvement as a pro in his overall game, as you mention he's only 22, the kid could be special.

The kid will not engage physically, he just won't, and like Kaner I really don't want him to. He will win puck battles with speed, quickness and explosion and that's ok. ....That's not to say he should shy away from a dirty areas though.

If he ever starts to shoot more, as Edzo mentions, it will open up passing lanes for him making him even better in that area, which is scary good. IMO he has a good shot for what that's worth, his quick release making it a good one.

But IMO he doesn't have near the offensive upside that Nylander has.
- Mr Ricochet

Spot on Mr. Richochet! Everything you stated I am complete agreement with of which I will add that Nylander is a way better finisher and also has better hands than Schmaltz. In short ,Nylander is a more dynamic (wow factor) player which doesn't really amount to anything different as in it scores (don't ask how but how many). Schmaltz has a way better 200 ft game thus slightly better game overall but having said that there is no way a GM would trade for each other straight up, with Nylander valued a bit more.

I was really hoping the scratch Jersey was pink

Brandon.... you SIT OVER THERE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!

Looks like Saad is a scratch indeed.

I hope Don Granato sits with him during the game to ensure he knows where he stands with this team, how he can improve and get his mindset set straight to get back into game action this weekend and get back to "old Saader".

I called it yesterday. Q's kiss of death

Why wouldn’t Crawford play a few games in Rockford prior to a start in Chicago?
Can someone explain

I made a corny labor day joke on white earlier.

Now I know that your talking about Reservoir Dogs, Pink's okay. Buscemi, right? What was Madsen, blue? That could be Saad, the guy who's not there mentally, but when he shows up ... he's good. He'll shoot the puck and just graze the goalie's ear.

I'm in a Stealer's Wheels mood now.

ESPN reporting Brady Tkachuk out at least a month with a torn ligament in his leg.

Haha, someone needs to read Tanner more. You're quite disillusioned. Jk.

But at Rockford he’d have a better defense in front of him.

Au contraire. We have 2 new mannequins. I think their numbers were 44 and 23.

Your joking
I remain confused

Nordstrom playing 2RW for the Bruins. Seems odd. Either they aren’t as deep at forward as I thought or Nordstrom has drastically improved offensively.

My guess is that it is because he is Corey Freak'n Crawford and he has earned the right to come back on his own terms.

Plus they signed a veteran keeper in Ward for a reason and in this case it may be to enable the Hawks to ease Crawford back into game shape.
