Let not look to far ahead

Clone Stralman = success

 

[Bob Richards]

Sam can’t get his Stromes straight

Stromechasers

Its a bunch of dudes in a shitty van with a doppler radar but it tracks which Edmonton diner Ryan Spooner is eating in.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Maybe locking up Toews and Kane to twin million-year deals was not a good idea after all

Whack ass cups.

 

[Richard Banger]

Pride night was a couple games ago

Ok.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Sam can’t get his Stromes straight

Nothing compares to the back-to-back (or close to that) Lias Andersson vs. Freddy and Craig Anderson games. That was hard for me just as a spectator

 

[will1066]

Good block ADA

 

[BringBackLibertys]

Did Tony D block that with his ass? Nicely done.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Good in zone shift..

in regards to which point? the boo one? i mean i can agree were still atleast 2-3 years away from being anything close to a contender but i know id be completely satisfied with boo as the 4C longterm

 

[Harbour Dog]

Maybe, but I see some untapped offensive potential there.

It's possible. He hasn't been a scorer for a few years now and watching him play, I'm not surprised at that.

I think if he's going to be more noticeable in a positive way, it will be by having a mean streak come out as he gets more comfortable. He looks much steadier tonight than he did last night already, so I suspect that if he gets a decent stretch of games here he'll start being more and more assertive with his defending.

I don't see any offensive touch though. Maybe if he has a cannon that we could use on the PP he'll get some points that way.

 

[Machinehead]

Seriously if you’re a vet on Chicago why are you trying? You have your cup, fat paycheck, and the organization already raised the white flag when they fired your coach like 2 weeks into the season

The vets haven't really been the issue.

Keith is having a good season that play aside. Toews is roaring back. Kane is Kane.

The problem is, they have nothing else.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Well, based on this you weren't mad at Zucc all year because we raised the white flag last year when we sent out the letter, and our vets don't get to say they have a cup.

Zucc doesn’t have a cup or a fat contract....

there are a few things ive learned so far this season:
1) we really, really, need a top end defenseman
2) boo nieves should be our 4th line C coming out the other end of this process
3) resign kreider, no questions asked (100% most controversial topic)
4) deangelo needs to be a key piece on the backend

1) Hopefully, DeAngelo can become a #1/2 d-man. Most likely ends up as a #3/4, but sometimes, he gives me hope that he can be a top pairing guy.
2) Agree
3) Maybe, but his average hockey IQ worries me. It depends how much money he wants, in my opinion.
4) Agree

 

[LeetchisGod]

5) we need a gamebreaker up front (chytil *could* become that, but we cant bet on that chance, we need to draft a surefire "bus driver" as blashill would say, or sign one)

Chytil and Kravtsov have that potential but I rather push them down the pecking order.

 

[BringBackLibertys]

Man on the national feed I think Quinn paid the announcers to give him a HJ, they are sure gushing on him.

 

[zukeisgone]

I’ve worked with guys like ADA ...he doesn’t look you in the eye when ur talking to him and seems like he is not listening. It comes off as disrespectful but if he produces you need to learn to deal with it

 

[Ori]

ohhh close Strome

 

[Mandar]

Hawks can have Hughes....I want Kakko anyway...

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Boo ain’t bad

Those aren’t boos Sam..

Actually, those are Boo’s. My apologies Sam.

 

[LORDE]

Not sure why on NBC they keep saying “The NYR with a bit of a rebuild”

Getting annoying. We are rebuilding! Ain’t no bit about it

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Another good d play by Ada

 

[Ori]

Hawks announcers seems quite happy with the current result.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Ass block. Kid is learning from all that coaching!

I don’t think he will ever be a power play guy. His shot is pretty hard, but not hard enough. And not very accurate. However, I think if he can develop his shot more, he can possibly pile up some points with it. He can also move the puck pretty well, although his vision is just average. We will see if he can improve that.

This is oddly specific
