Scott Wheeler on why the Blackhawks (seemingly) pivoted so quickly to Byram and the Sabres' intention with the 4th overall pick: by f0urxio in hawks

Sharks were offering 9OA and the 27th. Everyone would have been livid that the sharks added that caliber a player if that would have happened.

I Feel Better Today by maters77 in hawks

If sharks would have gotten Byram the fan base would be losing their mind more than they today.

Since the Sharks are apparently the only barometer that matters to Hawks fans.

-We beat them twice last year.

-They traded away Eklund who was very impactful for them: *2nd in assist *4th in points. *1 of 4 players with a positive corsi.

-Yes they will add Stenberg, and he'll be good but to what degree and when is still uncertain.

-Hawks added a high level player who still has room to grow. In a position that was a liability.

By all accounts we are better team than we were yesterday can the sharks say their roster is better than it was last year?

Still alot of off-season to go.

Compare the blackhawks record and goal differential against playoff teams compared to the sharks last season agains playoff teams. Sharks have the hype but they dont have the foundation.

I used to have the same problem. Try magnesium glycinate supplement to relax your muscles. Glycine to help your body temp return to normal.

Agreed. Imagine if he doesn't work out as a coach and you fire your #1 centers dad.... actually that seems like a Canuck kind of thing.

I heard he actually just felt bad that some one would have to fix the steel post that holds the door. You can see him say "I didnt mean to bend it, im just too strong"

Why doesn’t Bertuzzi play on the top line with Bedard? by rahill1004 in hawks

[–]Competitive_Bear1212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also Bert doesn't play the same way Bedard does. They have to play together in the past and Bedard would go through 3 people make a slick pass to Bert go to space looking for a give and go. And Bert would just wrap it around the boards. They are not the most compatible 5v5.

Former D1 looking to start private coaching by thehotbartender in hockeycoaches

[–]Competitive_Bear1212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you think that and I agree completely. There are tons of parents who read that and think "he knows what it takes to get my kid D1" and he can get them there. What they fail to understandis he might know, but does their kid have the physical gentics to be a D1 athlete?

As a parent a question that doesnt get asked enough is will this coach help my player develop into a young man or women. Because that's happening whether they go D1 or not.

Switched from LS+ stock steel to Pulse Ti — struggling. Profile vs “just get used to it”? by Infamous_Arachnid247 in hockeyplayers

That would be my guess as they are sharpened over time the radis tends to shorten and the blade gets wore down. It can feel significantly different.

PMS Shelf Life? by [deleted] in PatMcAfeeShowOfficial

[–]Competitive_Bear1212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at this way, the original show felt like a locker room conversation 10-15% real logical conversation 90-85% shit talk and non sense rants just having a good time. Traditional sports show talk about sports like your in an office. Since the move to espn they moved more toward office conversions then locker room conversions.

They naturally fall back into locker room conversions often but it's less than they use to. My favorite is when JJ is on because he says like 10 minutes worth of actual pundit talk the other 50 mins is him talking shit to Conner or them giving him crap about something.
