I don't get the joke. What does Mans***ter mean?

 

Brandon Mashinter is #53

Hawks are stupid good this year. Might be their best team yet in this era.

 

For the record, Hawks are 1-3 with 7 goals scored in 4 games since this post

They had chances like crazy last night and it just didnt go in.

last night was a lot like a playoff game. Good hockey to watch, despite the outcome.

Their scoring chances that normally seem so automatic continue to miss low on the net or way too high. Thinking especially the bickell to Toews one-timer that usually goes topcorner.

 

Somethings off. Pretty happy with defense. Pretty happy with Versteeg. Not happy at all with Richards. I have no idea why he things these cross ice elevated wrist shot passes are great plays.

I do not share your opinion on Richards, he seems like a huge upgrade.

A huge upgrade? He may be still yet an upgrade but I would still consider that a position we'd need to upgrade. The only line I've seen him look good on was when Saad came down and could set up the plays for him. All he does is sit up top and hit slap shots.

He set up Sharp for at least two point blank shots and another for Rozy on a break last night that come to mind immediately. He also runs the point on the power player fairly effectively compared to the last couple of years.

 

So yes, an upgrade.

with what we have been running out there? Yeah, it is an upgrade. Doesn't mean it is great, but it is definitely better.

The goaltender for tomorrow has yet to be decided. Coach Q says Crawford could play. All three netminders will make the trip. #Blackhawks

Darling gives up a ton of rebounds but I like the way he moved between the pipes. His extra long legs seems to open up the 5 hole though.

Darling is just gigantic. He looked bigger than Seabrook out there.

He's 6'6" 230. He is huge, especially for a goalie.

To be honest I don't recognize it until he plays outside the net.

Scott Darling again tonight, he's finally going to get a shut out, I know it.

If he does, then Raanta will be moving to Rockford. Crawford is the back-up today, and they won't carrying 3 goalies this weekend.

Unless he plays terribad tonight, I can't help but think this is the most likely scenario.

I wonder if they just want Raanta playing everyday or something.

That's something he needs anyway so I do hope their plan is to develop him.

That's very possible, but if so, why didn't he just start the season in the minors?

That is what the question was for me. It is very odd.

IMO Raanta has been outplayed by Darling since the preseason, but they probably gave the edge to Raanta for having much more potential but they probably see now he has to play everyday.

That was a brutal turnover by Bickell to tie it, though there was a lot of that tonight. Nice to see Sharpie give us the second point.

Darling gives up a lot of meaty rebounds. Also his long legs give him range from post to post but he is very weak on the five hole. Not sure he's more than a backup at best. More likely he's Rockford fodder.

That was his last shift of the night also.
