My eyes light up with demonic glee at the thought of Steve Ott and Dave Bolland on a line together.

You've been very poetic
and active in the comments of late. Nice to see you join the fray.
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
I didn't like Carcillo
But Ott is a centre so I’d be more apt to listen. Ott is less of a liability than Carcillo. But he’s still a liability.

Yeeeesh!
I can’t picture Ott donning the Indian Head. But then again, I couldn’t picture Probert, Carcillo, Mayers, etc. Still, he would have to do something special for me to vanquish all the hate I have for him.
See if you can guess what I am now.

That hate will turn to love almost instantaneously.
Guarantee it. He is exactly the kind of player the Hawks need. I said a few weeks ago here that maybe Stan’s top priority should be getting that 3rd line in order. While the top 6 is far from perfect, they are certainly able to put pucks in the net.
The 3rd line is another story – it’s pretty fucking clear Michael Frolik is gone and never coming back. Ott would be a fantastic addition on it and could even sub on the top 2 lines every now and then.
I’m all for it. But I’m still preparing for another Chris Campoli deadline day.

I would love having Ott in the indian head
He plays the game hard. While he is a pain in the ass he at least would be a solid addition and someone who could play on all 3 lines. I would love having him on that 3rd line though. Him and Bolland…One fucked up line

Red Flag on Ott
he only wants to play for Dallas. He has said so. As a GM, I would be wary of any player that open says he only wants to play for the team he is on.

I think if he was traded he would make the best of it
Most guys that have been with a franchise forever would like to stay with it or at least have that in them to say they dont want to play anywhere else. However it’s a business and I’m sure in the end he would understand that part. Maybe at least

Dallas is not out of the playoffs yet
therefore he still has that shot.
I understand that Hawk fans believe everyone wants to play in Chicago. But there are also players who never recover from being traded. Ott’s own words would be a warning to me. I wouldn’t want him in Van.
Lead writer of nothing, commenter on everything.
I didn't say only Chicago,
I said a Cup contender. In the short term, Chicago (and others) have a better chance at being Cup contenders than Dallas.
thankfully, Van and Chi won’t ask fans for their opinion when making trades. A single comment out of context shouldn’t be taken as gospel.

Maybe they should poll fans
fans pay the money to see the games. Fans would only have themselves to blame for shit trades.

Depending on the prospect, that's not a terrible move to consider.
9. If Burke traded Mikhail Grabovski for a second-round pick and a prospect, who, exactly, would fill his spot on a team trying to make the playoffs? Would have to be another move, no?
Good choice sir, that's lobster stuffed with tacos
I like Grabovski a lot
but oh, how the meatheads would roar if that was the big move of the season. A small center who is mediocre at the dot?
Gotta say -
I love ’hawks-wings games. Even if you took out all the history, the rivalry, the hatred – if they were ECHL games – they have all been fantastic this year; how hockey should be played.
I’ll get shit for it, but even when the ’hawks lose I walk away happy and amazed by the pure speed of the games.
It's a good thing I'm not a GM
Like a panicked novice, I had given up on Crawford and convinced myself that he had fallen into the abyss. How arrogant of me to think I know more than either Stan or Q. I had us dead in the water and found myself actually pining for the return of Huet. That Huet. Good lord. What was I thinking?
Unfortunately, I’m also bull-headed and arrogant. You might even say dumb. But when I see this team hang with the other top teams in the league, I wonder if we would be better off adding a forward who can score. I think our blue line is pretty solid actually and when everyone is healthy, we’ve got more depth than Lake Wawasee. I don’t see how we could significantly upgrade the blue line without giving up the farm, and for what exactly? I think our weakest defenseman is probably Lepisto, and he’s no slouch. I can’t help myself; playing GM on the intertubes is fun.
I think the only thing we’re missing is a forward with some nifty hands and decent speed, who can hit and score. That’s all? That’s all. A combination of Frolik, Brunette, and Bickell, into one player… wow. Aaa…. what the hell do I know.
I know I’m sorry I doubted you, Corey. It’s good to be wrong sometimes.
Wow! Don't be so hard on yourself!
He’s playing well again but man, I’m not so quick to forgive and forget. You were far from alone in thinking we need to give Huet a call. Crow has played well recently but I still have my eyes on him.
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
yeah. something like this?

How much longer do we have to pretend the Columbus Blue Jackets are a viable franchise?
They start a massive rebuild – the centerpiece of said rebuild immediately wants out. Star player is too classy to say he wants out publicly, but almost certainly does. Nobody goes to the games. The team perennially sucks.
Please Gary Bettman – put that fucking team out of its misery and be done with it.
Would insert website here but I have no idea how.
If they were good
People would attend the games. Ohio sports has fervor, it’s just that the city of Cleveland has been kicked in the balls so many times that they refuse to patronize a poorly run team.
Replace Howson and start over. Those Buckeye fans will need something in the winter. They sold out most of their games the first 2-3 years they existed. Then, they perennially sucked.

Will they really come back if they move both Nash and Carter?

Move Nash
Keep Carter. Besides, no one in their right mind should take Carter’s contract. He can be successful if saddled with proper talent. Holmgren fucked him over by trading him before that NTC kicked in.
I think if the BJs were smart, they’d look into getting Bernier, an NHL ready defenceman or forward and a pick or two from LA for Nash. The real problem for Columbus is goaltending. Howson not addressing that over the summer is what fucked them over.

BigC -
What are your thoughts on Columbus being able to support an NHL team? I know Madison could never support an NHL team but I know Columbus is about 3 times larger than Madison. What’s the atmosphere in Columbus for non-Buckeye sports?
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
OSU will always be number 1 here,
However, with the Arena District here, and the base of supportive STHs, I think if Columbus fielded a perennial playoff contender, they would do well. Their lack of support is not for lack of effort. They do well marketing, offer good specials, their Arena is one of the nicest in the league, and the Arena District is outstanding (one of the best I’ve seen) The major problem is the dogshit they skate out there every game.
What keeps Columbus as a viable hockey town alive is the fact that a lot of people who live here are not from here. Chicago, Pitt, Boston, Detroit, NY. Whenever those teams are in town, the Arena is pretty full. I think if that was supplemented by a strong contingent of actual Jacket fans they’d be pulling down sell outs fairly often, and their sales would probably be middle third of the pack compared to the rest of the league.
To be honest, everything about Columbus as a Hockey Town is perfect, accept for the people who run their Hockey Operations. There is no other Pro team here to compete with accept for MLS. The Hockey season does not compete with OSU football too much. They market pretty well. The average income of Columbus is above national average. Hockey as a youth sport is pretty big in the area. The infrastructure in place could easily support the needs of a top market team. OSU Football will always reign supreme here, but I think given a good product, Hockey could sell here and do well.

Contraction needs to happen
Gary Bettman’s expansion strategy was / is a disaster. The Columbus franchise needs to be disbanded. There are doubtful any other cities in North America that can support a modern era NHL franchise. Disband Phoenix while your at it too. Hockey in the Valley of the Sun is never going to work no matter how much winning they may be able to do.
The Blackhawks and the Stanley Cup in 2010.
Contraction will not happen
not during Bettman’s reign. Relocation perhaps but never contraction.

This morning on the radio was comparing Crawford and Howard, and sees a lot of similarities. Said something to the effect that Howard of 80 starts ago was just like Crow is now, when he was at this point in his career (100-110 NHL starts). He thinks it’s just a matter of time before Crow gets to Jimmy Howard level.
Sure, I hope this come to fruition, but does anyone really think Crawdaddy will become a top-10 NHL caliber goaltender?
Let's Go Hawks!
I think he has the potention to be a Solid goaltender
I will never see him as elite but I see him being what the team needs. A guy that can keep teams in it and has a defense that helps a lot. J Howard is a solid GT but he also has Detroit and keeps his team in most games
I have addictiving traits and SCH seems to be one of them.
"Watching a shootout is like admitting you watch Survivor or search the internet for porn."
Agreed
Craw likely doesn’t have the skating or agility to be a top-10 goalie, at least given his current skillset. He’s far more a blocking goalie using big size and butterfly style to make saves. There’s no reason that he can’t be a reliably quality starter in this league, however, and really, that’s all you need for a deep playoff run.
I think they are pretty damn comparable.
They’re around the same age (Howard is 9 months older), were drafted in the same year 12 spots apart. Howard was in the NHL a season earlier, but they both spent the majority of their early 20’s in the A.
AHL Careers:
Minutes SV%
Howard 10,658 0.911
Crawford 14,436 0.908
NHL Careers:
Minutes SV%
Howard 10,473 0.917
Crawford 6,171 0.912
That’s about as close as you are gonna get for two goalies.

The Hawks have a professional and ethical accountability to player health. They are failing massively when it comes to concusssions. And yes, they should be under scrutiny.

So how many more NHL players have to die prematurely via suicide and other unfortunate declines before the subject of concussions DOES get your attention? Or Dave Duerson situations?
If this report is true, then the Joe Thornton hit of a few weeks ago would be strong suspect of the cause.
If this report is true, then this makes the second concussion for Toews. That is NOT good. You can spin it all you want bozo.

In the NFL, if a player is involved in a big hit OR the team medical staff suspects a player isn’t right, then they are automatically given full scale medical examine AND submitted to a daily battery of tests. No out option period.

Story came out a month ago
Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher admitted his longtime use of the painkiller Toradol and also detailed that he would hide a concussion to remain on the field.
Toradol is used to lower inflammation and relieve moderately severe pain – usually after surgery – but it can lead to kidney failure and gastrointestinal bleeding.
"First of all, we (as players) love football," Urlacher told the Chicago Tribune. "We want to be on the field as much as we can be. If we can be out there, it may be stupid, it may be dumb, call me dumb and stupid then, because I want to be on the football field. …
"(Toradol’s) been around a long time. I saw guys take it my rookie year. I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t have any reason to get one."
Urlacher admitted to accepting 40 to 50 injections of Toradol during his career.
As for concussions, Urlacher admitted he would lie about an injury in order to remain on the field.
"If I have a concussion these days, I’m going to say something happened to my toe or knee just to get my bearings for a few plays," Urlacher told HBO’s "Real Sports".
"I’m not going to sit in there and say I got a concussion. (Then) I can’t go in there the rest of the game."
Never Die Easy.
Basking in the (rare occurances of) Chicago sports glory on Twitter: @nextsportsguy.
Colby Armstrong is the most recent case I remember
Where he lied to the trainers because he wanted to play, and the team didn’t find out until they saw him vomiting in the bathroom and he finally got diagnosed with a concussion.
I really, really hope Toews didn’t do that (hide the symptoms) because he felt like he needed to play in the midst of that horrible road trip. But, it also seems like something he’d do.
Thus is the mindset of pro athletes
They have to be on the field, and they’re going to do whatever it takes to be out there, even if it means jeopardizing their own health, short-term and long-term.
This is why I laugh whenever people call these guys overpaid. It takes an insane amount of talent, dedication, and disregard for personal well-being to be a pro, and those guys earn the money they make.

absolutely agree- but it turned out it was with a know it all fan
I still don’t think Kaners goal was all that soft though. And the Jacket defense just let Kane float into the slot. Howard struggled a bit last night with a couple of Kaners wristers – big rebounds- it appears he’s keeping the puck just off the ice.
I just felt sorry for Mason – I’m just that way.
That's what the locker room is for

Maybe not
If he was blowing up at the Coach or another player, IMO that would be more acceptable then against a fan. You have to expect there to be strong tension on that bench, and in those circumstances for one or more players to openly vent on another. But to yell at a fan, no. If anybody owes an apology it is Mason to the Fan, nobody owes Mason jack!

I heard it was someone on the Hawks bench
but regardless, Foley really smeared him in the broadcast and it was borderline unprofessional, especially given that it’s apparently not true. I thought he went too far in his remarks.

Don't yell at fans
Spray water on them
Foley was right on the money
Mason hasn’t taken a single ounce of accountability for his turn into awfulness the last two seasons. Clear also that he has lost his teammates. Columbus has an awful goalie and a cancer on their hands.
The Blackhawks and the Stanley Cup in 2010.
weren't you saying that about Crow last week?
I could be mistaken – but it didn’t seem like you thought Corey was the answer.
" This team will never win with Niemi as the goalie"
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
Hold my stones I'm on IR
I compared a "serviceable" Crawford to the abysmal Mason????
Really? When did I do that??? Crawford is a serviceable goalie is my long-standing position.
The Blackhawks and the Stanley Cup in 2010.
I apologize if wrong but for some reason , and I could have it wrong, you came down pretty hard on the team towards the end of the losing streak.
If all you said was "serviceable, I’m clearly in the wrong.
I think Mason won his next game and I’m not sure who was in the net last night for Columbus. against the hawks, he would have had to of been superman to keep the Jackets in the game.
Trade
Columbus Blue Jackets have traded veteran forward Antoine Vermette to the Phoenix Coyotes for a second round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft (via Ottawa), a conditional fifth round selection in the 2013 Draft and minor-league goaltender Curtis McElhinney.
Lead writer of nothing, commenter on everything.
Solid trade
but I read something also on Twitter that NHL could block if not in “means” of budget
I have addictiving traits and SCH seems to be one of them.

And there is open wonderment on why hockey doesn't work in Columbus
Sorry, but this is NOT a good deal for the BlueJackets. Phoenix just made a sound pickup and a very prudent price.

Not ashamed to admit
I started watching hockey during the 1980 Olympics. Growing up in Texas, hockey was that sport they played at the minor league rink where you could go watch a lot of fights…and for some strange reason, a rubber chicken on a pole. I really became a fan during those Olympics and it took me another 10 years to find a home for my fandom, which is why I’m here today. I wonder how many other hockey fans were born from those games?
I wanted the Packers to win the Super Bowl, Megan!
My childhood next door neighbor for one, who got me into it. My parents hate sports. I have the ’80 Olympics to thank for 13 years of looking at box scores while I was supposed to be practicing the violin.

First game
March 1967 – Hawks beat Scum and yes there were only 6 teams in the league back then

Since we were talking about the split of Seabrook and Keith earlier
I wrote this. Took a little bit of a look at the CORSI from the skid and the short streak to see what it looked like. Some eye-test opinion in there too.
by JesusMarianHossa on Feb 22, 2012 1:19 PM CST reply actions
That's a good, JHM
Amazing how we suddenly have a surplus of D-men. I’m eager to see if Olsen can keep up his steady play, and if Leddy can continue to play so well with Seabrook.
I wanted to let you know that in your first paragraph after the graphic, you wrote that Keith and Seabs are “forwards” … figure you’d want to edit that if you can.

Ott = yes please!
I don’t see us getting a d-man. Prices are just too high.
I think this team is built more like those hated Avs teams from the late 90s. The best collection of forwards I the league, and some of the most porous defence. We just don’t have a hall of famer/“habitual wife beater” in net. I still hate Roy..
Jesse Rodgers must have an incredible resume. I see no other reason for him to be employed in this field otherwise. He was on NHLN yesterday before the game, and my mom called me to scram about what an idiot he is. I could only agree.
Nice to see haugh want a deal, even nicer to see that Hayes should probably NOT be part of one.

If grabbo is out there for that package of a prospect and a 2nd, why is he still in a leaf jersey?
