I can't get over the pilgrim collar. It's bothering me more than i'd ever imagine. Yes they are TERRIBLE! New vendor wanted to make a change but on the red uni's it's just awful

Is it just me or does anyone else see Murphy out there touch the puck and think it’s Rundbad? STOP THAT (and honestly I didn't notice him with all that scoring going on)

Team looked pretty fucking good tonight. Team speed was...fantastic. The Hawks have a TON of skill, all up and down the lineup. Wow. I am anxious to see the D play in a "more competitive" game...hard to get a read on them in such a laugher. What I did notice is Seabs looked really slow to my eye, and there seemed to be some disorganization moving the puck around in their own end when some pressure was applied. Again in a game like that it's impossible to really read anything like that accurately so the Columbus game should be a better eye test.

The Hawks team speed is light years beyond the last couple if years. Matta and Letang were -5.

This game was like porn.
I have to bookmark this on NHL.tv in case I ever have erection problems.
Just take an ipad with me to bed, watch a bit and I'm ready to go.

Yeah, if the first game is any indication, the forward group is as fast and as skilled as we've seen from this team in a couple of years.
Saad = beast. I almost cried a couple times seeing him back in the Indianhead. All is right in the world.
Doesn't make up for last year's debacle by any stretch, but it was nice to see the Hawks play as well as they did last night.
Hopefully Schmaltz's injury is nothing serious.

I thought obviously Saad was gone forever. What a player. Him and Toews should switch contracts.

Jebus what an awful goalie tandem. Neimi is done and Murray is Jim Carey.

Debrincat..one of 4 hawks hits...sigh... nice they won.. Really hard to hit someone when the only time you don't have the puck is when the other teams goalie is fishing one out of their net. I really like our roster relative to last few years as far as the physicality goes. Murphy hits way more then any of Hjammer, Oduya, Campbell, TVR etc. Rutta is a big boy and at some point he has to accidently run into someone. Franson occasionally bumps into someone too. Murphy, Rutta, & Franson are going to be light years ahead of what we were rolling out last...but the question there will be can they play adequate D. Wingels and Bouma are massive upgrades in the hitting department and Saad is not a hitter but certainly a strong player. I also suspect Hayden will smash a guy from time to time. But then there is always the Q neutering factor to consider.

The team played like you'd hope - with pent up frustration from last year taken out on a tired Penguins team. Not much to criticize, and hopefully the team won't revel in it. Hopefully the guys will look at this like 2 points and on to the next test.
In a way, really glad Reeves has gone east, even if it makes the Blues a better team. Always waiting for him to take somebody out, and against the Hawks, he's always looking for that chance.
Some of Stan's faux pas moves continue to drive me insane, but some credit is due for Panik. He brings a snarl element to the top 9 that is going to free up space for the speedsters...and he is not exactly slow on his blades.
Division games will be a better test for the blue line.....

Anisimov, Sharp, ADB also looks like it could be an interesting line over time. Also hoping Ulf can work some magic with the kids. A step function up by two of them changes this team big time.

Ya the Hawks controlled the play throughout not much need for hitting when you put up a 10'er. #seewhatididthere
