NHL: Around the League 50

[clydesdale line]

Did I see a report that Werensky is out for the season? If true, that really sucks for CLB after the unexpectedly bad start to their season and now their best d-man is gone. I figured they would get better and not be in competition for the Bedard lottery - now I'm not so sure about that.

Torn labrum. Yea he's done for the year.

Yep, he tore his labrum and rotator cuff from what I saw.

Also interesting is that Sillinger is taking a step back this year.
I'll be watching Sillinger and Jiricek closely.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

So Tage Thompson is actually a star I guess.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Toronto looks awful.

 

[Naster Okan]

Thompson is the real deal. I love watching that kid play.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Thompson is the real deal. I love watching that kid play.

Wonder how long it will last? Big players typically drop hard after 30 and he's already 25.

He's got an unreal release.

He doesn't play an overly physical game.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Tage Thompson is awesome

 

[BobbyJet]

Mitch Marner continues to impress.

 

[Pez68]

Mitch Marner continues to impress.

Imagine being a Marner fan while constantly shitting on Kane.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Imagine being a Marner fan while constantly shitting on Kane.

Marner is the best PKer on the Leafs

 

[BK]

Rasmus Dahlin has arrived. Crazy part is that he is just scratching the surface on how good he can be.

 

[BobbyJet]

Imagine being a Marner fan while constantly shitting on Kane.

Imagine if Marner was a Blackhawk. 2-way hockey player vs floater.
Ummm I'll take the floater. :

 

[Hawkaholic]

One shows up in the post season, the other disappears.

Marner is a good player but I’ll take the “floater” that wants to actually play good in the playoffs.

Mitch had 8 points in 7 games last year and looked fantastic.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Mitch had 8 points in 7 games last year and looked fantastic.

He has 7 goals in 33GP and plays on a line with one of the best American born players to play in the NHL ever.

 

[Pez68]

He has 7 goals in 33GP and plays on a line with one of the best American born players to play in the NHL ever.

He's scored 2 goals in his last 19 playoff games. Patrick Kane has more playoff goals in his very first playoff run, than Marner has in his career.

Patrick Kane as a 20 year old put up 9G 5A that first run. He backed that up with 10G 18A in 22 games in their first cup win....

This conversation is absurd. As is Bobby's illogical hatred of Patrick Kane. There is no better big game player than Patrick Kane over the last decade+.

Imagine hating the best American born hockey player ever, when he plays for your team....

 

[Giovi]

Imagine hating the best American born hockey player ever, when he plays for your team....

Not to mention one of the greatest Hawk players of all time.

Pretty sure Hawkaholic is on our side on this one. Lol. He was pointing out to Court that he's been invisible in the playoffs since he came into the league.

Oh, I know. I was just expounding on his comment.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Makes sense. Thought for a sec you misunderstood him.

Should Hawks have any interest in K Kapanen? He's getting scratched apparently with Pens from the trade threads. How comical would it be if he played with AA?

They can but second year of his deal probably kills any real interest even with lots of cap room
