Fine...I'll play...especially since I'm sort of new here.

Name: Santos L. Halper - and that's just gonna have to be good enough for y'all.

Favorite Current Hawks Player: Duncan Keith, Patrick...

Disagree with your first point. Considering Hossa's past shoulder issues, this is about the BEST news we could possibly expect.

"Not good" news would have been "torn labrum and rotator cuff -...

Scott moves like he's stuck in setting concrete.

He's so bad that Q's had to put him on the 4th line wing in order to cover up his complete lack of skating ability. Any middling-to-good...

Versteeg's game is typically a high-risk, high-reward type of game...so much so that last year, Quinneville was frequently visibly frustrated with him and his propensity to turn the puck over with an...

Yep. I've been saying that ever since he was traded.

(Not in this forum...but, you know...) :)

Anyway, going into the offseason, the three players at risk of departure I desperately wanted to...

Can't really say it better than has been said already...but aside from a few sparse moments, Leddy really was a liability out there.

After watching him, it's painfully obvious that the game just...

Per Jesse Rogers on ESPN, Hjalmersson will be suspended for 2 games.

About what I expected...though I have to admit to some...

Personally, I believe that Tomas Kopecky is the 'Hawk most primed for a breakout year.

Not only will he start the year on a line with Hossa and Towes, but Q says he'll also see time on the power...

Plus, he's a less-than-good passer and an inefficient, occasionally lazy skater....all of which lead to an ineffective defenseman that winds up either turning the puck over, or, more often than not,...

Agreed.

It's a good article and is definitely worth a read.

It pretty much nails the good and the bad about the 'Hawks going into 2010-11.

I especially enjoy reading about Patrick Kane's...

....Huet has been assigned/loaned to HC Fribourg-Gotteron SA of the Swiss A League.

We all knew this was going to happen, but...

As an FYI, according to Jesse Rogers @ ESPN, Corey Crawford is NOT scheduled to play tonight. Apparently, Hannu Toivonen and Turco will each play about 1/2 the game.

Here's the link: ...

I can't believe I read this entire thread....

:facepalm:

I would like the last 10 minutes of my life back, please.

See, that's the thing, the arbitration price WASN'T right...which is evidenced by the fact that he signed a 1 year deal for $2M...$750K LESS than the arbitration award.

Niemi didn't get screwed by...

Why "ouch"?

You can't seriously be surprised at this. San Jose couldn't have been satisfied with Niittymaki and Greiss as their goaltending tandem going into the year...and they had some cap...

I personally think that San Jose, even before this acquisition, was A team to beat. Particularly in the Western Conference. There is simply too much talent on that team to honestly look at them...

Obviously from the, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" school of thought.

Niemi played out of his tree against San Jose in the playoffs...though the number QUALITY shots he faced in that series was...

Eh. Personally, I'd be at least a little shocked if that happened.

And, not because Tony-O wouldn't let it.

Tony-O is, by all accounts, a great guy and, if asked, would likely would be "OK"...

I don't know the history behind Turco's past mask designs....

Anyone know the significance of the snarling demon-esque character with the uncomfortably long tongue?

There seems to be some confusion as to how this works....

First of all, Huet isn't signing with HC Fribourg-Gotteron...at least, not in the sense that we're used to. This is a player loan,...

Advocating for Zajac and Parise? AND a picture of a green "'Hawks" jersey? Wow. Lemme guess...you're a North Dakota fan, huh?

How about the Hawks figure out how to get J.P. Lameroux to grow...
