QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) Wow. This kid in the #88 jersey is good at hockey. Yeah he and Toews may have a future in hockey but we'll see

Rockford must need size on their roster

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 1, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) Agreed. People often confuse football with baseball. The right draft can turn your fortunes around immediately. My biggest concern is the possibility of Vic Fangio being hired somewhere else as a head coach. People must see what he's doing with a severe personnel deficiency. Better chance of Gase leaving than Fangio

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) Yes size. Winnipeg is physical and Bickell needs to be that guy. The staff has told him as much. If he doesn't play that role he's gone. Gone? He hasn't played that role (or any role) for 2 years now and he isn't gone. He can't go anywhere with his disgusting contract. He's a bad player who does nothing to benefit this team.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 08:39 AM) Yes, Bickell being inserted made Hutchinson stand on his head. They wanted to have a little more size for one night, big deal. Size? Come on. The NHL is a speed/skill game now. How does the size of Anaheim and St Louis do every year? The Hawks are a team that struggles to score of late, so Q took a guy with that potential and inserted a big goof with "size," and again, it really helped, as we all saw. Meanwhile Teuvo has created 4 scoring chances tonight and is a +1. The Hawks didn't need those potential chances yesterday?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) You are right, I can't argue against that. Just given how sloppy and unfamiliar they have looked, I'm not gonna get too upset about Q playing blender with the lines at this point. But I will say Teuvo has to be back in the lineup after tomorrow night in Minnesota. Sending a "message" for one or two games is fine, but the kid needs to play. Here are the lines I'd like to see: 67-19-81 88-86-72 14-15-65 11-16-28 Give Kero a chance. Teuvo has some talent to play with. Anisimov can play anywhere and can play a bit of a checking C. Put Garbutt & Tikhonov where they belong

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 27, 2015 -> 10:14 AM) Any guesses on the WM card? Main event: Shield Triple Threat- use Brock and rock to draw and showcase your future in the main event in front of 120k. Rock vs Brock- Aforementioned big draw match Undertaker vs Bray 2- stable match at survivor series (don't know who will be kane and taker's partners though). Taker puts over Bray finally, retiring in front of the hometown crowd and giving the guy taking his place a rub. He's old school. I think he'll lose his last match. Sting wanted to, too. John Cena vs ADR for the US title- rematch. Long history there. Vince is desperate for a latino star so he'll want his project high on the card in Texas. Kevin Owens vs Daniel Bryan- This would be great. Although probably won't happen for more reasons than 1. Hhh, new day, maybe sting will be somewhere. Could Bryan and Sting be their partners?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) Meh. It's game #10 and they hadn't scored a regulation goal in a week, no reason to get too upset about lineup changes. It's not like they sent him to Rockford. So sub the 21 year old for the guy who hasn't done a thing since June 2013. That will help the offense, as evidenced by tonight's game.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) if i remember correctly, when bill wirtz passed, the hawks were really not doing well. actually if i remember correctly the nhl league wasn't doing well. the main point to remember is, am i remembering correctly. with that disclaimer, there was a short snippet of how the hawks needs to rebound, partly b/c of the hawks being a legend, partly b/c of the original six and b/c of the loyalty of the fans. well the history and the results are evident of the blackhawks resurgence as well as the league and yea the individual team. that is why i was surprise at the hawks being #2.... but i love the fact that other teams are #1.... it is spreading the wealth and excitement of what is hockey. You think?

Someone help me understand why Bickell is in for Teuvo today

ND also goes to Pitt who is currently ranked 25.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 10:11 PM) Survivor Series should be intriguing. Can't wait to see WWE ruin it. Don't need to over think Reigns vs Sh build up. I think Ambrose ends up costing Reigns the match at SS

This Toews guy has had a solid career

Al Golden, he gone.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) I hope not given that they have let him play all 6 games for Rockford. Two simple reasons why they sent him down 1. He's not even 21 yet (just like Teuvo last year) 2. His contract makes it easy to send him down with little consequence unlike other players. I think the two Russians can opt out for the KHL if the Hawks tried to send them to Rockford. What two Russians? Only Panarin has that clause. Anisimov is an established pro & Tikhonov has done nothing to make me care if he goes to Rockford, Russia or the UC's press box. QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 07:05 PM) It'll help when Dano returns. I keep thinking he might have suffered a concussion but there's not even a hint that happened. Dano hasn't exactly been good in Rockford. If he keeps that up he won't be up this year at all.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 08:01 AM) The second line is good but I sometimes wonder if you just have Kane on the top line and have the second line all Russian/Latvian. I also have really liked Garbutt more since he came over as it appears he's buying into his speed game instead of constant cheap shots. The defense is going to need to add a player at some point but I think we let them play to see who we can keep. Offensively I dont think we are going to have issues. A lot of people are concerned about the D but to me, once Keith gets back and Daley starts playing like Q wants him to, there won't be issues. It's the 3rd and 4th lines that I'm concerned about. It's no secret that Desjardins/Kruger/Shaw aren't out there to score, but the Teuvo/Hinostroza/Garbutt line is a train wreck. Garbutt is a 4th line player and Hinostroza isn't a pro quite yet. Teuvo is going to be a great player but unfortunately he's surrounded by guys like Garbutt, Hinostroza, Desjardins, Shaw and Bickell for now. If they want more production out of the 3rd line, I think eventually Panarin gets flip-flopped with Teuvo.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) Would of been called on the Bears. What? McPhee was dragged down on Johnson's catch. Why would that have been on the Bears?

I can't believe what happened at UM last night. I never have heard 111,000 go from so loud to so quiet in 2 minutes in person. Unbelievable

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) Give me 12 college and 12 NFL thanks. Packers -10, Bills +3.5, Broncos -4, Vikings -4, Cardinals -3.5, Redskins +6

Cubs in 6

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 08:28 PM) Ashley's has pretty good food and a great beer selection. I don't know too many other bars since I lived there in high school. As for restaurants, what're you looking for? My favorites from what I remember: Dibellas - sub shop, get the godfather on everything and be happy BTB (Big Ten Burrito) - great local burrito joint Knight's - fantastic steak house Metzgers - German food, very good Gandy Dancer - more upscale, in an old train station, excellent food and service here Jerusalem Garden - some of the best mediterranean I've had Real Seafood company - popular downtown place The Earle - another fancier place, but also very good Be Won - great Korean food Zingerman's anything is good, but WAY overpriced. Don't go to the Road House, place is a complete rip off. Plenty of other great places but those are the ones that I'm remembering best. I think I may do Ashley's. Thanks!

Any tips on restaurants/bars in Ann Arbor?

The Hawks have had 6 or 7 A/A+ chances including an empty net miss by Desjardins & a post by Panarin. What can you do?
