Giordano has been in 3 fights the last 7 years. What?
You’re just a wuss who doesn’t like fighting, bro
Giordano has been in 3 fights the last 7 years. What?
I was wrong about his offense translating to NA, but he was a really good player and his play helped the Hawks for many years. Q did agree with that and the tough matchups.
I f***ing miss Kruger here and still wait for his replacement on the roster.
At least I didn't think he sucks and shouldn't be in the NHL during that time. That was bad evaluation.
Kruger was such an underrated part of our Cups and yet I don’t think I’ve seen more controversy over a Hawks player at basically every stage of his career here. I think this guy is 2nd to only Hjalmarsson for how much physical punishment they took in order to win.
Imagine dreaming you’re going to be a top 6 C in the NHL and racking up points only to realize your only role is to instead be a 4th liner, get pushed around and battle for pucks on the boards, and have to shut down some of the league's best teams and players.
Kruger did what he had to in order to stay in the league and he was great at it. Q’s whole line-deployment strategy doesn’t work if our 4C can’t be counted on to possess the puck and stop teams from scoring. Selfless player, we don’t win Cups without him.
When Strome can skate like Kane I'll overlook his little girl legs.Remember Patty Kane? First pitch at Wrigley his first or second year. Those thighs aren’t too impressive, and calves are ok at best. Still was very quick though.

Piece on Gaudette's dietary progress this off-season. Could be a breakout season for him
Stronger, faster and (mostly) vegan, Blackhawks’ Adam Gaudette has ‘changed who I am as a player’

God I hope not!!!hope he can keep the weight on and it turns out good for both he and the hawks. Always thought his skillset was great as I live in Vancouver and watch a lot of their games.
wonder if he and Toews have had discussions on diets...

Anyone familiar with Gaudette's health issue, him gaining 20 lbs is huge for him.... not sure if he can skate well enough but he's determined.Agree with Muffin, Gaudette is a real solid sleeper pick for us this coming season.
Him adding 20 pounds is huge. And his added strength is even allowing him to use sticks with stronger flexes. He's got the talent to become a solid top 6 option, hopefully his newfound strength gets him there.
He gained 20lbs of muscle and zero fat in what time frame?
If it's just the off-season, that's quite impressive, especially completely clean gains. I know these are professional athletes, but 20lbs of pure muscle in 12 months is a feat in itself, let alone an off-season.
It's not impossible, but damn.
Can’t pass up John Quennville broAnd it all still makes no sense why Seattle didn't take him to give him chance

I’m still trying to figure out what direction Seattle is trying to go in. A much different expansion draft than what we saw with Vegas for sure.
I still don't get why people seemed to ignore, not see, or recall the success Nylander had when on the 4th line.Should be Toews, Dach, Johnson, Carpenter down the middle no matter what. Every time I plug in Strome or Nylander into the lineup I see a weak link. Can’t have those bums/sissy’s on a team hopeful for the playoffs. Whatever line they are on they will need to be babysat.
Kub-Toews-Kane
Cat-Dach-Gaudette
Hagel-Johnson-Kurashev
Whatever-Carpenter-Khaira
*hopefully whoever is a kid who makes it out of camp that’s actually worth a dam.
I was just thinking the same thing.I still don't get why people seemed to ignore, not see, or recall the success Nylander had when on the 4th line.
Nylander is a very useful player. I dont get why people hate him so much.I was just thinking the same thing.
