Seems Like A Long Time - Blackhawks Shut Out Wild 4-0

PrintThis is the third goddamn time I've tried to start this game recap, so hopefully my computer plays along and I can actually get through this one. Much like McClure after the second loss to Columbus this weekend, I'm a little confused as to how to write this review. On the one hand - yes, the Blackhawks won and did so in a fairly dominating fashion. The Wild were never really in this game from the start. It has been what we've been waiting to see for what feels like ages now - a return to a solid team.
On the other hand - it's deja vu all over again. We've seen the Hawks pull out a solid victory at times against teams like Los Angeles and Phoenix - but we've seen them go right back to the craptacular play we've seen the last three games. We can't get too excited over a rout of Minnesota because this is exactly the type of team the Blackhawks should be beating up all season... especially given how many players are missing from the Wild's lineup.
We've had enough of the doomsday naysaying though - so lets focus on the good. For all of Q's line juggling - he seems to have found something that really worked. The top line of Hossa-Toews-Sharp is a force to be reckoned with. It'll be hard to find a line that will scare opponents more than those three paired up. All three can play just about any type of game you ask of them. And they only contributed one goal on the night.
Kane-Bolland-Brouwer is another line that we'd certainly like to see more of... while they didn't get any points they did generate some solid chances. It's obviously nice to see Kane not on a line with Versteeg as no good can come from the two of them paired together.
I'm going to skip over talking about the third line and get straight to the big story of the night - the return of a strong fourth. Tomas Kopecky once again had 2 goals and Ben Eager threw in another and came only a fight short of the Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Eager has still been a disappointment so far this year but if they can generate chances they way they did today (even if it is pure blind luck)... it'll go a long way in the post season.
There's a lot more to talk about soon - but it's late now and we've got our third podcast coming up tomorrow where we'll discuss some more. Also, John Carpenter's "The Thing" is on HBO right now so if I don't force myself to go to bed now I'll end up watching the whole fucking thing and not getting any sleep at all tonight.
Good game... but lets not start sucking each other's dicks yet. I'm still waiting to see two in a row...

Winston Wolf couldn't have put it any better
Ah, the first to comment. Ace. That was a nice result to wake up to. My phone was buzzing with Hawk goals all night.
I agree
…the top 2 lines are set just about as well as you can set ‘em, but of course, as soon as they have a less-than-dominant period, Q will start fuckin’ around again.

The day the sky stood still
The sun’s not up yet, but I see imaginary birds and rainbows, and a kid with a hula hoop. "Hey, you little scamp- what are you doing up and out so early.? Ahhh.
1. craptacular is an excellent word choice.
2. Nintendo made a beauteous “no icing” pass to Hossa- no luck involved. All of a sudden, he seems ahead of schedule in the offensive development department.
3. Looks like Frasier and Burish get to fight over the last spot, assuming Buff stays on D and Sopel also gets one of the best seats in the house. If Buff moves back up to forward, I reckon they’ll both sit. In this case, I vote crazy VERSTEEG!?! as part of the wacky 4th line mix.
I think Frasier has to stay on the 4th as the Center
He is the main cog in that machine.

doesn't he also have pretty good numbers at the dot this year?

Yeah
He’s improved a lot this year. At the very least he’s heads and tails above anyone else they can slot in at center on that 4th line
by Hjammer of the Gods on Apr 1, 2010 11:27 AM CDT up reply actions
Plays pretty well on the pk too
I say leave him out there. Lets hope this line can continue with some consistency! I’m not expecting goals every night, but the energy and show that you can win some puck battles along the boards sets up the other lines that Q throws out after.
That's what I've been thinking
Even if he wasn’t playing that much better, he’d be a good solution to center depth if we’re trying to make Versteeg play there, wouldn’t he?
I definitely feel more comfy with Frasier there than Burish

thoughts...
1. Dirt, I agree with you, if the hawks win a couple more after this, I will retroactively feel better about the win last night.
2. I think these line combinations earned themselves at least another game together.
3. One game recap and 3 comments and i can’t believe there is no mention of niemi’s play
4. While fully preparing myself to be ass-reemed (and understanding that the wild just aren’t very good) I really liked buff & dunc together on D.
5. Hendry did not have one of his better games.
6. You might say the kopecky has been one of our better players over the past month or so, of course, you might not.
7. Madden… ehhh.
Niemi saved the game in the 3rd
during the 5 on 3 sequence.

Call me crazy (o.k. “You’re CRAZY”!) but I think Buff has done a pretty damn good job on D, and looked especially good last night paired up with Keith. (Playing with Dunc can do that to a guy, although it didn’t seem to do much for Sopel other than make him stand out as the special needs skater that he is.)
To me he just looks more comfortable playing defense and seems more engaged in the play (i.e. the ‘give a shit factor’ seems cranked up a few notches.) And his size and reach certainly can be a plus on the back end.
I like what he potentially adds to the D corps more than Boynton or Catfish, given the current state of affairs. But there’s that word again in regards to Buff, POTENTIAL.

I was typing similar thoughts so I rec
I think he needs the time that he gets on D to think, and the Chaos of the offensive zone confuses him.
I think Savard’s experiment should be over. Yeah, he scored a hat trick once. It’s good to have D men that can score.
Chewing gum?
Also IMO, Buff more = to Seabs
than any other defender, so the transition is probably easier. Again I will state, with the current D situation I prefer seeing Marlboro 72 split up.

I know there's a ton of season left, but
I think our D Corps next year is going to be:
Keith-Seabs
Hammer-Ginger
Johnson-Buff
Forwards:
Towes-Sharp-Hossa
Bolland-Kane-Brouwer/Ladd
Madden-Hendry-Ladd/Brouwer
Frasier-Burr-Kop
"Erin go Braugh". What the fuck does that mean?
It's Irish for "you're fucked".
but what about the $$?
I like what you did there but I don’t know if we can keep Sharp and Seabs with Buff’s contract still here.
SCH Resident Idiot
The only Cup we can win is this years
in my perfect world
we’ll get rid of some of the excess at forward, trade Sopel (not because he sucks, because he doesn’t fit), bring up Hendry permanently, and somehow keep Johnsson at a lower price tag. But life ain’t always ever perfect…

Hey, I got rid of Versteeg and Catfish, what else do you want from me
Maybe we get Johnson to take a hit to stay with a winning team
"Erin go Braugh". What the fuck does that mean?
It's Irish for "you're fucked".
we have 14 players for next year and are $800k OVER the Cap limit
We have to add a net total of 7 bodies (minimum) while getting rid of more than a million in salary (to allow some breathing room to get through the year).
And the NHL minimum salary will be $500,000 (I think).
So if we need to get rid of no less than $4.5 million of currently committed payroll on those 14 guys – and that would only let us add 7 minimum wage guys.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
yes it will
we’ll pay them in Canadian

Johnsson made over $5 million dollars this year
While his cap hit is low, his contract is up after this year. I don’t htink there’s any way we can sign him to the money he will want. Not with all the other contracts up this year too.

I believe Jonsson will almost definitely be gone next year
but if the Hawks could trade Sopel (however impossible unlikely), I would gladly take Johnsson. He fits much better with our system.

Yawn-sun is gone after this year - maybe Buf too - Madden is a question mark
Hendry (RFA) and Sopel (1 more year at $2 mil) is likely the 3rd pair, if Hendry is resigned.
We need to shed salary and we have
Madden, Burish, Bickell, Skille (UFA)
Ladd, Eager, Fraser, Hjalmmersson,Hendry (RFA)
Niemi (RFA)
Confusion will be my epitaph.
....
Hendry? As a forward? Really?

sometimes I forget that not everybody follows the cap situation
but if you hear it thrown around a lot by the media, by fans, by everyone who’s ever been jealous of the Hawks’ success but is glad there’s one silver lining out of it (“Yeah, your guys are really good, but too bad about the cap, eh?”), then I would hope you consider it when you’re making suggestions for next year’s lineups.
Keeping all the guys in the lineup as suggested—with all the expiring RFA and UFA contracts as is, without Huet and dressing just Niemi as goalie, so you can imagine the stretch here—gets us above the cap by over $2m.
We need a reality filter here in SCH.

This probably will get lost
in this clusterf*ck of a thread… but honestly I’d prefer Hjammer up there — I think he’s certainly capable of playing a somewhat Seabs-like game when needed
You mean this blog isn't about children's books and...
uh…. wtf else is in this thread? I don’t think I can even describe it anymore.
I’m with you on number 4. Seemed like Buff and Dunc had the speed/power combo that is needed. I like how Buff wasn’t holding up the play, he could jump in and play forward and didn’t have to worry exclusively about getting back. If Buff is going to be on D and Seabs and Keith aren’t going to be a pair, I’m okay with Buff replacing Seabs. (Of course I’m sure he’ll do something next game to change my mind on this.)

it showed it’s not over. Injuries or not, they still can have what it takes, and more importantly to me, Niemi can make the major saves he may need to make in the playoffs.

I read the Wikipedia summaries.
I was horrified enough by those to avoid the books and movies like the plague.
I read the first book for the same reason
and I got to about page 4 before I got angry at myself for even bothering with graduating jr. high because I could’ve written that shit and made millions without bothering to rake up all this educational debt.
I watched the first movie and irritated all the fangirls by laughing during all the “romantic” scenes.
i admire you for being able to laugh
mostly, i just wanted to punch the person i was with for liking that dreck. almost a year later, i still find it hard to believe i actually made it through the entire book.
Why... Why are you never funny?
it was a cycle
I laughed because it was incredibly stupid, and then I saw the fangirls all turning around to glare at me for “ruining the moment/being rude” which made me laugh harder, and so on.
if it weren't so "chaste" it could have been 70s porn

Why... Why are you never funny?
nope.
my vague understanding is that it’s a show with people-shadows making snarky comments during whatever is being watched/played on screen. I just wanted to link that AOTS parody.
and no, it’s actually a play off my last name. I grew up listening to classical music because 1) orchestra and 2) my parents were told it’d make me smarter. HAH, well, I showed THEM.
ha, parents, what do they know!
i grew up listening to classical music before discovery the finer points of american heartland rock while living abroad. i feel smarter now than ever before.
mst3k might be the greatest show ever created. many, many nights in college were spent watching episodes. incidentally, it was made in minnesota, where i went to college, and my best friend from school knows Tom Servo. all of which is to say, i studied physics NERD!
Why... Why are you never funny?
Never thought I'd find one, but two
people who grew up listening to classical like me… I’m just a little slow in the rock discovery segment — my music knowledge took a detour through electronica because my brother was into it and my sister is a DJ in her free time.
But, this blog has been a good place to broaden my musical horizons — there’s somebody here who knows something about everything!

Sorry, I'm for excellent on HP
I am not a big Shakespeare fan and I never read Dostoyevsky. I’m a failure as an educated person but I don’t care.
True
However, HP is much more understandable and fun to read than either of those authors. The HP books are not only a great read, they’re a great means of promoting reading. My youngest is now an avid reader which is due in large part to HP. Something doesn’t have to be a classic or have deep political and social insight to be excellent… (IMO)
it is certainly at the upper end of the youth market

I like )Phillip K.) Dick as a writer
but he would have been very well served by reigning in some of his personal problems and lettng an editor work on his stuff.
He used to take advances, and not write anything until so far past the deadline that the publisher was ready to sue him – then load up on amphetamines and sit down at the typewriter to write the book straight through. First draft, written stream of consciousness, came page by page out of the typewriter and into the box that got sent to the publisher. Totally crazy.

Yes, we dminated a team tha we ought to dominate. But we certainly have not been doing that lately.
Am I all done worrying? No. Not until Bettman hands Toews the Cup. And I will be on elevated worry status until we string a few of these good games together so as to be the trend instread of the outliers.
The goaltending was actually good. As good as it ought to need to be (and where it should have been all year).
I would also like to see these lines left alone for a while. They make sense from the ‘mix of skills’ standpoint & looked good on the ice. Leave them alone to jell better. And Fraz looked good – he is playing better than Burish.

Could be a sleeper
Seems he has bits and pieces of good enough performances to contribute on a pretty good Olympic team and be tried out on 2nd line for the Hawks. If he can get more consistent, though maybe not a star, he could be a lot better than “modestly incompetent”. I think this guy (now that Barker is gone) might have the most upside potential on the Hawks right now.
I disagree
I don’t see a lot of potential in him. He’s a one trick pony (well, two if you count whiffing on a shot, falling down and losing his helmet as the other).

Seems he has bits and pieces of good enough performances
I agree 100%. (weird, I know.) Kopecky is just one of those guys who seems to go as his linemates go. With the consistent sub-par play of the 4th line this year (at least compared to last season) he’s spent most of the time running around like a chicken with his head cut off, as has anyone else that got slotted on that line. On the flip side, when that line does turn in a good performance, gets a bit of puck possession, etc., he does have enough skill to get himself some scoring chances and occasionally capitalize. Contrast that to when he saw time on the 2nd line, where he just didn’t have the ability to play with guys at that skill level. If the 4th line can keep this up or play at even 75% of that effectiveness most nights, I think we’re gonna like him a lot more around these parts.

But even I have to admit he’s disappointed me. There’s no room for him on the top 2 lines, which is where his skillset belongs. He has a decent 2-way game, but he’s not exactly what you’d call tenacious in any spot on the ice. And, as covered ad nauseum here, he makes ill-advised passes and refuses to dump the puck no matter how many players the other team stacks on the blue line. He’s not suited to a role on the 3rd or 4th line because he can’t get the puck often enough with them to be effective, and he’s not big enough to body up on guys like, for example, Ladd. Fact is, with the top 6 forwards this team has right now, Versteeg looks to be the first one out the door this summer when they need to clear cap space.

I’m really surprised at your responses. With my personal experiences, I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve found the opposite to be true – Macy’s customer service had been horrible, and the Field’s salespeople I thought were helpful and knowledgeable. Plus, I thought the layout at Field’s and the product selection was far superior. Granted, I’m not talking about the State st. store…I’m out in the w. suburbs.
But, I must admit I gave up on Macy’s about 1.5 years ago and haven’t been in a store since, so things may have changed.
I agree here
I only shopped at Macy’s b/c they bought out Filene’s in Boston, with no other dept store to fill the void very well, and the Boston selection had great dresses.

That was a nice effort by the Hawks last night. They did a lot right on the O side. The D and goalie got the shutout, but if it’s the Sharks last night, I think many pucks go into the net. The Wild are far from a scoring machine.
Still, they beat a team they were supposed to, which is what they should do to all teams.

Agree w/ the poster above
about Buff on D. There is no way he is worse than Boynton, and pairing him with Keith will help with the deficiencies. I say let this roll until he looks completely stupid out there.
I want to see more of Bolland/Brower/Kane as well; this has the potential to be a very good combination, a la Bolland/Havlat/Ladd, only I believe Brower > Ladd & Kane > Havlat.
Ladd/Madden/Versteeg, meh, but they were our best line for a good stretch of games, so I don’t mind.
Fourth line=gold, obviously. I say leave Fraser in there and keep Burish on the pine to see whether Fraser = this year’s Eager (i.e., makes the fourth line tick). It seems to me that whenever he is playing the fourth line looks solid.
Sure it’s one game, sure the Wild suck, but we were in a building in which we always shit the bed, coming off 3 bad losses, and (obviously, IMO) squeezing the sticks too hard. A 4-0 shutout, in dominating fashion, save for a 5 on 3, is a nice confidence booster any way you look at it.
seriously - that was a very good 5 on 3 kill the Hawks had too
Of course the Wild had some chances – it was a 5 on 3!
But the Hawks came out of it without being scored on, and cleared the puck several times, and generally kept the WIld working the perimeter. I was quite pleased with it.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I was at the game
and as you probably could hear on TV the MN crowd was really not happy with the Wild’s execution on the 5 on 3. The Wild were passing the puck too much and their passes were not very good.
I agree with you too though, the Hawks did a awesome job killing it with Niemi making a few tremendous saves.

i think its apparent though that this 4th line goes the way eager does…he looked like the eager of old and actually making good passes and possessing the puck rather than looking like a deer in headlights like he has for much of this season
I'm fine with Q
sitting Burish. I think he should have done some rehab at Rockford before coming back After watching him in a couple of games, I think it was a mistake to try and get back into the lineup.

I can’t believe it happened without the fire and the passion of Adam Burish. We may have won 5-0 if he was there.

The line shuffling...
looks like it may be settling down. Even though there were some strange pairings in the 1st and after Fraser was temporarily out. Even Hoss and Sharpie on the same line looks more natural now. Props to Frase for coming back, that looked like it really hurt.
Victim was found murdered by a Chelsea Dagger.
What did he hurt?
they even brought the stretcher out onto the ice for him. When he came off the ice he didn’t go back into the locker room right away, but sat on the bench will everyone around him looking very concerned.

IMO, NO
I was often moved from D to wing and I never had difficulty adjusting. I was sort of an offensively minded D man anyway though.
breathing is confusing to Buf
a really sharp player wouldn’t necessarily have trouble with it (particularly if properly coached).
European players are trained to be more fluid in their positioning concepts too.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
There is a lot more open ice when you are playing D
That is when you or you team have the puck have the puck. It can seem like mass confusion when playing forward in the other teams zone. I think this is what bothers Buff

With D the whole play should pretty much always be all in front of you
players with limited vision and thinking skills are sometimes less bad there.

I wonder about this as well...
There were times during the game where I was pretty sure Buff had forgotten he was on D because he was all the way down on the boards with the other 3 forwards, and I was yelling “GO BACK TO THE BLUE LINE” at the television. Luckily nothing bad happened, but I get worried anyway.

I'm don't have time to read back through all 150 comments
So sorry if this has been mentioned already. But this team is now 3-5-2 when Burish is in the lineup. I knew people were overvaluing his impact while he was injured, and I’m not saying he’s the root of the problem, but I don’t see that he does much on the ice that I wouldn’t rather have Fraser doing anyways.
I've been saying
You have a Frazz-Burr-Kop line for weeks now. Of course Eags playing his ass off yesterday makes me look stupid, but I’d rather have my line out there. Burr takes less penalties then Eager, and when he does, it’s usually to take someone from the other team with him.
"Erin go Braugh". What the fuck does that mean?
It's Irish for "you're fucked".
I think Burish is one of those guys ...
who when your team is doing good his cheap shots and yapping look like they are a huge benefit to your team because he’s “getting under the other teams skin” and “the guy you hate to play against.” However, when your team is tanking it’s just kind of annoying to watch and you’re left wondering what somebody giving a stinky glove to Barret Jackman’s face is going to do to help your team. If he was willing to stand in front of the net and get the shit kicked out of him to score a few garbage goals I’d have a lot more appreciation for his game.

Agree
Not a fan of Burish at all. This guy seems to get a free pass because he won an NCAA championship and supposedly sleeps around. Uhh, I’ll pass. Fraser has more grit and toughness in his afro than Burish has in his whole body.

Not the NCAA Championship
Jack Skille was on that same team and was at least as important and Burish. I don’t know why Burish gets a pass. I’ve been very critical (ok, critical) of his performance since his return. He has not played with the same intensity that made him a fan favorite. As far as his personal life, how did he get that rap? Ladies? Is Burish at all attractive??
My “lady” thinks he’s nothing special. She fancies Sharpie (but mostly because he has a basset like us) and Hammer (but only with his helmet off, otherwise he looks “special”)

Burish Back from a bad injury
I’d rather he work on getting his wind and hockey speed/sense back now and be ready if needed for the playoffs. I don’t think he’s fully recovered and up to speed yet, so holding opinion on him. He DOES seems to help the team morale wise though.
First Post
My father tossed the link to this site my way as he thought I’d enjoy it quite a bit being a Hawks enthusiast since I was a little kid.
The community here is refreshing, and I look forward to getting blitzed with you all in GDTs throughout the rest of this season, and into future ones.
In regards to last night, as has been said earlier in this thread, Niemi killing off that 5 on 3 was the focal point for this game. Given our recent inconsistency, it’s nice to see him stand tall when we need him to.
I’m looking forward to our response against New Jersey tommorrow. With the playoffs near, both teams will be gearing up. I’d enjoy the Hawks making a statement.
Also, what about that 4th line? Every time Eager had the puck, I was shouting “Get him off the ice!” and then he goes and has a night like he did. While most likely to be a freak occurrence, this production may provide the impetus the rest of the team needs to get the ball rolling here at the end of the season.
Definiately agree with your Eager comments ...
This fourth line is turning out to be very feast or famine for the Hawks. Either they are dominating games and racking up points (like the main post said – LA and last night) or they are laying a huge turd. I haven’t been watching close enough attention- could the problem be they are getting caught out of position to score these goals? I’m glad they had a good game last night, but If I had my druthers they would focus on the hitting and efensive consistancy. After all, it’s hard to play defense when you’re flying head first into the back of the other teams net at full speed. Plus, how many more goals can ToKo possibly score by taking a lofty wrist shot from 30 feet away? Those things must come off his stick like a Phil Niekro knuckleball or something.

I remember being surprised when there were like, grown ups on the internet
I mean, I was hanging out in the nerdy harry potter parts of the internet, but I was just baffled. I figured everyone was 13 like me.
I was also pleased that the law about thirteen year olds on the internet went into effect when I was 13. Not that I wasn’t already lying about my age as necessary. Oh the old days.
I always figured it was impossible to track
I mean, how do you tell the age of whoever’s at the keyboard? I don’t think webcams were that popular back then, plus they were grainy enough that you probably couldn’t tell 13 from 63.
I also had the benefit of hiding behind my ridiculously common full name (speaking of which, somebody I met yesterday had it too!).

The funny thing is that 20 years ago we wouldn't see that hit
Fedetenko would not have tried to make that play 5 feet out from the boards under pressure.
When the emphasis on no hits from behind got sort of outof hand a ways back, a generation of player stoped playing as if they could get hit from behind at any moment – and started leaving themselves far more vulnerable far more often.

that's likely part of it - Europe went overboard on limiting hitting (in a somewhat erroneous way) a little sooner
I enjoy the high skill free flow European style (I had a former Swiss league coach as a Bantam/Midget and loved learnig that style), but I think they achieved the lesser hitting game by the wrong route, and North America is following that wrong way model.
You can teach players to largely protect themselves without the overbroad hitting limits, and could have largely eliminated/severely punished the “bad” hits without ever changing the rules to ban all hits from behind in a per se fashion.
If players were expecting some contact from behind in those situations (but with rules that dealt with the egregiously dangerous “bad” hits) we would have fewer players hurt this way than by banning all hits from behind.

*** BREAKING NEWS!! *** BREAKING NEWS!! ***
“Chicago Blackhawks goalie Cristobal Huet has conditionally accepted a trade to Metallurg Novokuznetsk of the Kontinental Hockey League.
Huet (26-14-4) has always dreamed of playing in the KHL. “The talent in the Russian league is much easier to play against than the NHL. As a frenchman I’ve never liked going against top competetion”
The Blackhawks reportedly will recieve a bag of pucks and an Eastern European female flown in weekly as a date for legendary SCH poster meeshak"

What's wrong with that?
I mean Huet SHOULD get in another game or 2 before the playoffs…..and I don’t think they should be at home. NJ as good a place as any that’s left with playing 3 games in 4 days. Then play Niemi against Calgary in the division. That’s not so crazy IMO.
Nothing wrong with that
We need two goaltenders for playoffs, but I think switching to huet after a Niemi shutout might cause some heads to asplode around here

by BigCSouthside on Apr 1, 2010 1:57 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Actually
I think it’d be a perfect time. Let Niemi relax and soak in the shutout a bit so he can keep/build his confidence, give him a lil rest and let Huet know he’ll still be used…..w/o exposing him to booing fans at home.
So here's a question for alol you goalies out there...
…you just pitched a shutout. Do you wanna get right back out there?
every goalie I ever coached who was worth a crap at all
wanted to play every minute possible.
Hell, every player I’ve been around who was worth a crap wanted to play every minute possible.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
+1
Ride Niemi while he’s hot and get that confidence up there. I say go to Huet in either the DAL or STL back to back next week. Unless, of course, crapping the bed occurs before that.
I'd go DAL...
Figure Q wants to get him at least one more game, and playing him in the big D keeps him from getting destroyed by the UC crowd.
Then Neimi gets the second of the back-to-back.

there's plenty of Huet bed shitting to go around
he’s looked similarly inept vs. the blues the past couple times out. Given not 4 goals in 10 shots inept, but inept nonetheless.
I worry that if he starts at the UC that it will take about 8 minutes and a goal for Huet to have a Luongo moment.
"...the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes." - Sen. Ted Stevens

Of course, you can’t say shit like that nowadays.

Then again, he wasn’t an uptight prig who responded to light-hearted commentary with disproprtionate, grim epithets either.

I've heard the Kronwall comparison thrown out a few times
I’m down with that one.
Apparently he can only be compared to swedish Dmen.
Add Hammer to the list of guys I’d like to see put on some good muscle mass this summer. Bolland is at the top of said list. I don’t know if it is even possible for Kaner to put on more weight than he already has, so let’s just hope for Weapon and Hammer for now.
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
right on both (all 3) points
Hammer & Bolland do both need to fill out (but at their ages – it’s to be expected, if they work at it).
I thought Kane added just about the right amount of mass last summer<, I’d rather he didn’t try to bulk up any more
Confusion will be my epitaph.
Why did three of my comments go green?
Is this bizarro TP-ing day: rec no one but meeshak’s unfunny comments?
Why... Why are you never funny?

rather than coming up with the idea
on the GDT, so the whole world could immediately see who had done it?

exactly
but it’s talk about sneaking around like a ninja, these 2 people did it.
OR maybe it was HIBLD and his alter ego? so really one person.
is it the "newbies"
who don’t know what the rec button is for? Just hitting things willy nilly until pretty colors show up?
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

No this was intentional
weren’t you here for the early St. Patrick’s Day greening of everyone’s posts except Meeshak’s? Oh, that was the funniest thing I think I’ve seen on this site.
I missed that one
but I bet it was good

If you scroll down to the bottom of that page, you will see how the plot humorously developed
It WAS the funniest night I’ve ever spent on this site (and there’s been quite a few) I was literally crying tears off and on for almost an hour – and then for a couple of days after that looking back.
Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.

It wasn't just three
It’s all over… my eyes!
Since they’re all green though, there must be accomplice. Or a compound person like HIBLD like Katherine suggested.

Good job
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

Sorry
I meant having the girl in the limo as your avatar makes me think you are that girl whenever I see your name. It sometimes appears as if English is not my first language.
Hey so you're like Niemi
“It actually makes it funnier for us, if you know what I mean.”
But yeah, kind of like how we think mjthor is really Eddie O? Me as the limo girl… well, we probably share the same bad horrible taste in fashion.
and the same taste in men, too
considering your name and her limo companion.
I wish it made it funnier. Mostly I just confuse myself. and others. I like to tell myself my brain is faster than my fingers. I lie to myself a lot.
I think you're starting to reveal your identity
just a little.
