It's time!!!

Sorry, asked a mod to fix the title.

They have had Dano playing with Toews and Hossa, guess he is just as ready as Saad was. Teuvo is getting alot of time at center, cant see him taking Anisimovs spot though if Shaw is centering the third line, while ANisimov is really impressed with Panarin. Guess we are getting a youth movement even though they are not technically our youths.

I think Panarin is playing with TT and Tikhonov. Could mean Toews-Anisimov-TT-Kruger as the 4Cs.

Bickell-Anisimov-Kane

Desjardins-Kruger-Shaw

only 3 bonifide top 6 forwards entering the year. I sure hope they give Dano and Anisimov enough time to get with the others. I think it gives us some chances to see Kane and TT together. Gotta think the Bowmans are itching to get a veteran right now.

First pre season game, tonite at the UC, 7:30 puck drop. WGN will televise the game tonite, which is cool.

Lawyer of Patrick Kane's accuser to hold news conference

 

[anotheridiot]

this should get interesting, gotta wonder what daggers the lawyer is gonna throw out. Sad, probably most of us just want to see this woman.

Fun game last night while Darling was stopping everything. Kane with a beauty shot pass to Daley at the net for the win in OT. Pretty cool the league is having each team play three overtime periods of 3 on 3 hockey to prepare them for the season. Teuvo was really noticeable last night, had the puck on a string for a while in the corner of the offensive zone for probably 15 seconds, Hawks lose possession and he back checked at the hawk blue line to turn it back over. Started on the right side with kane. Dano got a shot in the jaw by smith and went down hard, Teuvo was up on the "lottery line" while Dano was getting woke up in the locker room. I really could not look away much, with a checking third line and very physical fourth line. I guess most of these guys wont be here for the start of the season, not sure its hawk hockey.

I did miss Daley as the fourth d man, Runblad made a couple nice plays, a couple bone head plays too. Eddie pointed out how Svedberg needs to move the puck quicker, constantly stick handles before the pass. PTO D men were pretty strong though.

Should see the other half of the team tonite in Detroit. Hawks are telecasting all of these preseason games. Probably gonna be tough offensively, since its only shaw, bickell, kruger, keith, hammer and TVR that should be the main players. Panarin, Hartman, Hinostroza, McNeil, Manschinter and Morin will probably fill the lines. Just saw Kopecky is back in for a tryout too. Crow and Leighton will probably split this game. Sure hope Darling and Crow get the next second halves of their games to play the 3 on 3 though.

Seemed like Q wanted Anisimov, Dano, Garbutt and Daley to feel that UC Crowd as a hawk.

well, allegations that the r*pe kit was tampered with, since the bag containing the evidence somehow wound up on the alleged victims mothers doorstep. (Where is his cousin) No vaginal DNA found. We believed Kane was guilty, we believed Kane would pay her off, now we are supposed to believe Kane had nothing to do with asking someone to do this.

Interesting lineup last night in the back to back. Eddie O said 4 guys played both games, I counted Hejda, Runblad, Svedberg and Paille for the hawks . Bickell ran a few into the boards, Kopecky was getting to the net, but there was a period in that telecast where Eddie and Pat were really down on Tomas, saying that Hossa got him that money in Florida, called it an assist since Hoss wanted to play with him on the hawks and took him under his wing. Sounded really negative.

Anyway, local boy Vinnie was on the puck quite a bit, as was Tikhomov, TVR was just solid, one blowout at the dots though. Next game tomorrow night 4 in 5 days. Hawks only playing 6 exhibition games, most teams are playing 8, so minds will be made up quickly.

Still no game time for Keith or Morin for sure, dont know who else not sure if Rosie was ready to play yet.

"We" didn't believe anything. Some of us are simply waiting for actual facts. Don't rope "we" into "you." Thanks.

Well, the mother is being accused of planting the evidence bag, the lawyer for the accuser has quit since they had him do a press conference with this charade of a planted evidence bag, the lawyer has also given out the first name of the woman. You just keep waiting for someone to tell you when any of these facts are actual, otherwise, we are all just making up our own minds, or watching a lawyer quit because he no longer believes his client. I guess its reading between the lines not anal-izing what is written to pick fights.

Its odd, I always though forums were just places we can post our ideas and discuss what is going on.

well, another great night of physical play and relentless fore checking. (Maybe thats why I enjoy this year being televised so much) Hejda was pretty damn good again, Runblad played again, TVR didnt, Baun and PAille were everywhere, the puck was finding Dano like it found sharpie certain games. I guess PAille and Hejda and Kopecky can just be signed by anyone at anytime, but its starting to look like its gonna be Keith, seabs, hammer, Daley for sure, Hejda maybe, leaving TVR and Runblad to share 6 or be dealt.

On the Kane front, not only did the womans lawyer quit, her friend and key eye witness has said she will no longer testify.

Brent Seabrook, Chicago Blackhawks agree on eight-year contract extension - NHL.com - News

seabrook extended 8 more years, espn reports its 55 million, 6.875 average.

 

[anotheridiot]

looks like both morin and tropp were waived yesterday, both came in the Saad trade.

 

[anotheridiot]

Down to 36, Kero assigned, Jan Hejda released. That was a surprise for sure. He was really skating well, thought he'd have benched a kid. Maybe he got an offer since he was in a PTO.

Figured Schilling would have been assigned since he gave up that open side goal Saturday. Guess they dont want Keith and Seabs playing the both of the last two exhibition games.

 

[anotheridiot]

Schilling and Manschinter assigned to Iowa. (How many times did Pat Foley say Manshitter on tv so far lol. One time Eddie was just laughing and could not respond)

Paille and Kopecky both released from Camp. Down to 18 forwards and 10 defenders now.

By Chicago Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks announced today they have recalled forward Brandon Mashinter and defenseman Ville Pokka from the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs. Mashinter and Pokka have each appeared in two preseason games for Chicago this year; Pokka has tallied one assist. The team’s active roster now includes 19 forwards, 11 defensemen and three goaltenders.

I could see them wanting Manshinter up for the Blues game tonight, maybe he does a bravehart impersonation and picks a fight
