Alright a little more than 24 hours before the hawks open with the Ave's. Alot of lineup changes but they still have a great core and a good goaltender, going to be an exciting year.

We'll see how they gel in the next 20 games.
scoring. I like what I see from Stalberg right now.
what game were you watching? Firstly Toews recorded a +16 CORSI which means he dominated defensively all night. Secondly, while Kane did score a soft goal, he also made that idiotic pass as he exited the zone that got intercepted as the 2nd period ended, which forced Duncan Keith to hook Avery, resulting in the 2nd NYR goal.
I can see how you'd come to that conclusion
Turco - 2.74 GAA , .911 SV%
Niemi - 3.73 GAA, .878 SV%
but yeah it's Turco's fault the Hawks have scored 17 goals in their last 7 games.
It's Turco's fault that Keith has morphed into Bryan McCabe floating around in his own end virtually the entire year.
It's Turco's fault that Patrick Sharp has morphed into Patrick Kane in his own end (-10).
It's Turco's fault that Patrick Kane has turned into 2007 Patrick Kane in his own end (-8).
It's Turco's fault that Bolland is only interested in playing hockey during the late spring and summer. It's also Turco's fault that Bolland is rolling up a sterling 40% on face-offs.
It's Turco's fault that Brouwer has been a complete ghost in both ends of the ice no matter which line Q puts him on.
It's Turco's fault that the historically slow starting Toews has gotten off to another slow offensive start.
It's Turco's fault that Q continues to put Kopecky on the 1st and 2nd PP units despite having zero touch and play making ability.
It's Turco's fault Nick Boynton is a human fire drill in his own end.
It's Turco's fault that the human glacier John Scott is useless when he's not hitting or punching someone.
It's Turco's fault that Q has the league's top puck moving defenseman Brian Campbell skating on the 2nd PP unit in favor of Keith who continues to put every one of his shots directly into the defense's skates or pads.
It's Turco's fault that Q has the smooth skating Jordan Hendry stapled to the bench or press box because he feels Hendry isn't physical enough for his old-school tastes.
It's Turco's fault that Q continues to trot Patrick Sharp out as the #3 shootout skater despite Sharp being a career 26% shootout scorer (32.9% is league average) when both Hossa (36.8%) or Pisani (42.9%) would be much better options.
It's Turco's fault that the 4th line of Dowell/Stalberg/Skille has been the most consistent and arguably best line the entire season.
It's Turco's fault that Hossa is not fully healthy
It's Turco's fault that Campbell missed the first 3 weeks of the season.
It's Turco's fault the zebras didn't call Erat on that dive (Kane's alleged tripping penalty) last night.

Let's just say that very few Red Wings fans were upset last year when Kopecky went to the 'hawks. Hossa we missed. Kopecky? Not so much. I do find it funny that Kopecky is leading the 'hawks in PIM, however.
Tabe
the starting nod come April. Did everyone see Scott punish that bum from LA?
