I don't know why we root for this team!

No, let's just stick our head in the sand and pretend Handzus is a legit #2 C, and give Bowman a pass for it and Q a pass for not trying Pirri there, or putting Sharp back at C.

 

But, thanks for bringing something to the table.

Pirri has the offensive ability, but he's inconsistent and he's lazy defensively, plus I'm not sure how he would fare at the dot against NHL centers. I wouldn't want to hand him the keys to the second line yet.

 

Am I surprised he didn't make the roster? Sure. But he's still got some work to do. He'll be a regular in this lineup soon enough unless he's used in a trade. Hayes also has a lot to prove this season. People like to think he's a big power forward because of his size, but he's really not. Hopefully it's something he can incorporate into his game more. He'll crash the net, but he's not necessarily a guy you plop in front of the goalie.

 

Also, I'm bummed to see the Hawks lose Ryan Stanton to the Canucks. He's one hell of a d-man. Stanton > Brookbank.

 

And in case you don't know much about Joakim Nordstrom, think poor man's Marcus Kruger. Very similar players.

 

If I was running the team, Smith-Kruger-Morin is my 4th line. Damn good defensive abilities (especially Smith/Krugs) and a lot of scoring potential.

I believe the argument was being made more against Handzus than for Pirri. Handzus is complete trash.

Be in your seat by 6:30 for the banner raising ceremony.

 

I'll be there too, pumped since I missed the 2010 raising.

Some fan you are. I've been in line since 10am waiting for the red carpet ceremony! I can't wait to smell Patrick Sharp.

Sharpie is so dreamy :wub:

LAY OFF HE'S MINE.

 

Was at opening night 2007 vs Detroit. Wirtz's funeral, Kane's first game (Toews was out with injury).

 

Opening night 6 years later, 2nd cup banner ceremony.

 

Remarkable.

Washington ( Grabovski )just scored on a 2 on 1 to tie the game at 2 in the 2nd period. Bollig 1st goal ever was 1st goal for the Hawks . Kane was the 2nd. Was 2-1 Hawks at the end of 1 . Ovechkin had the 1st Wash. goal on a PP.

 

The Bollig goal was right after a Hawks PP expired but before the Caps player got back into the play.
