soxfan49 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) I hope this is the power play that shows up for the playoffs. I'd rather have a better PK than PO. Statistically speaking, teams with an average to poor PP can win a cup. Ideally they have both but IIRC the Hawks have had a top 7 PP all season long QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Best offensive season? Sure. If he wants to keep this up and score two goals every playoff series, I will happily overlook his defensive struggles. Disagree. If Seabrook was struggling, they'd have only 2 defensemen, and I doubt a team with 2 defensemen would have 83 points. Keith, Seabrook and Hjalmarsson have been fine this year. There's no way the Hawks would be this good so far if only Keith and Hjalmarsson were playing well. Edited March 3, 2016 by soxfan49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I hate the World Cup of hockey. Call me old fashion, but if the champion doesn't hoist the Stanley Cup at the end, it doesn't matter.

bmags Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 How realistic/expensive do you think getting tickets to a game at the world cup will be?

Yet here they stand once again, the favorites to win the Cup and reinforcements have arrived. I imagine we see some big games from 16/19/81 come April.

Panerista Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 08:54 AM) You hate the World Cup of Hockey. Got it. So next season, you'd rather watch pre-season hockey than 8 teams made up of primarily All-Stars compete in a tournament where they actually care about playing and it's intense hockey? Makes sense. It's all fun and games until your guy gets hurt. Kane and Toews are paid to do one thing, that is win the Stanley Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, well until they retire, they're getting paid insane money to win cups, not play international matches that don't matter and risk injury. There's a reason the NHL wants pro players out of the Olympics and this is no different. Every year is critical in this Stanley Cup window. The last thing the Blackhawks need is a star player breaking a collarbone or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
