That might be my favorite Blackhawks promotional video ever. The girl scout cookies one is up there, too.

The timing is totally messed up, but Teuvo looks great centering real linemates.

With Toews serving a one game suspension, Teuvo is in at first line center. Should be an adventure.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) What worries me is I think his current gig might be better than our job. But if he's flying 24 hours to interview he's got to be interested(not sure if it is in person). The timing too makes sense. The Austrailian Open just wrapped up and now we finally have some news on this whole search. Rumor has it his wife wants back to the states.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 04:20 PM) This sounds logical, however. Gar does not seem to operate in silence, so I wouldn't be surprised if Cowley is on this. In defense of Cowley, whom I dislike, he is the only beat writer who publishes these stories for the bulls. Everything we hear usually comes from NY media. Agreed. It's basically New York Media, the Bulls own spin, or Cowley providing any insight. And as of late, Cowley has been quite strong, but that might be due to the realization of what is clearly visible onscreen.

If it's not Tiley, Tiley wasn't interested. There isn't a better choice.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 08:24 AM) I think he was concussed from the previous hit and was kind of in autopilot... It's certainly possible and you would hope that's true because it was unfathomably stupid to hit an official. If he can convince the NHL that was the case, he should still probably get 20 games (but if he was concussed, he should probably be out a lot of that, anyway)

It had better be 50 games. That is ridiculous.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 07:58 AM) What? I think what is shows is the Bulls roster is full of guys who keep getting hurt. The theory that they kept getting hurt because Thibs played them too much was garbage, and now it shows. Appendicitis is not "an injury". There's nothing a coach can do to prevent that. Also, tell us more about your fantasy land where minutes from previous seasons have no effect on current performance. We'll wait.

It's too bad GarPax blew up Niko's appendix.

Nash scores. 5-0 Canes.

Nordstrom scores. 4-0 Canes

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Tiley is overseeing the Australian Open right now. The constant delays make sense that he'd be the hire. I hope that's true. I really like Tiley as a candidate.

I'll watch another period because the Canes aren't very good, but this is a tough watch so far. Darling in goal to start the 2nd.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 07:13 PM) The Flyers "figured out " how to give Chris Pronger life changing concussions and permanent vision impairment. And yet he's not retired. How could that be? In any other sport or situation, Pronger would be retired. Everyone in hockey knows exactly what is happening. Multiple teams hide players on LTIR. It's the only way GMs can avoid the huge frontloading penalties. LTIR Frauds

Versteeg scores. 3-0 Canes

Carolina scores again. 2-0 canes

Not a good start. 1-0 Swirls halfway through the 1st. Shots 9-2 canes

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) The Seabrook deal I can understand Hawk fans getting semi-upset about, but while the Hawks were trying to circumvent the cap system, I give credit to a front office for trying to get creative. Once the NHL changed the rule, AFTER the Keith and Hossa contracts have been signed, changed things. Those deals, certainly the length, would not have been signed if the rule had already been changed. For sure. But the Flyers have figured out the workaround, which is to basically have a player go on IR and never be in playing shape, but keep them "active".

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) Keith? Dude is a fitness freak of nature and has arguably the best contract in the NHL. I can see him playing at an elite level well into his contract. Not saying he'll be winning a Norris when he's 40 like Lidström, but he'll still be very good. Hossa almost 100% will finish his career on LTIR. It's not a matter of good, it's a matter of "These players cannot retire less the Blackhawks get killed on recapture"

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 2h2 hours ago #Blackhawks signed through: Q: 2020 Crawford: 2020 Bowman: 2021 Hossa: 2021 Anisimov: 2021 Keith: 2023 Toews: 2023 Kane: 2023 Seabrook: 2024 In 2023, I'm guessing at least two of Hossa, Keith, and Seabrook will be on LTIR. The recapture on those guys is awful.
