Santos and Franson traded to NSH; Jokinen, a prospect, and a 1st rounder going back to TOR.

And then this gem...

5 goals in six SO shots in Hawks Pens game.

I hadn't paid attention to the western conference standings in a long time. What kind of world are we living in when a team from Tennessee is best in the NHL?

It helps that they have the best goalie in the NHL.

Well...Henrik might be better...but the Rangers suck.

This is hardly a first, but I have a love/hate thing with P. Kane. I know he's a douche, but I wouldn't mind him in a winged wheel jersey.

Toews, on the other hand, I would take tomorrow without any quibbles.

That said, nice job losing a shootout to this year's Wings with Howard in net. :D

Are the Wild the LA Kings?

Struggle all year then get hot and end up the 8 seed. Ride a goalie deep in to the playoffs.

I know if they make it in, their opponents
Won't be happy about the pairing. Even if the Wild ended up losing the series.

Also, I think we confirmed you need a goalie to compete. Scoring isnt enough.

The Wings already have enough lazy forwards who refuse to get back and play defense. Cleary, Franzen, Quincey. The *only* upside is Kane's ability to finish.

Don't tell me you wouldn't swap Franzen for Kane, straight up.

Kane has grown up quite a bit since 2012 or so.

I wasn't a fan of his off ice antics early in his career, but he's been a model citizen for the past few years and the guy is a winner.

You do realize that Toews>>>>Kane on the doosh scale, right?

In Kenny I trust, but I second guess the lowball offer given by him to Hossa, and his affinity for Franzen. Maybe its because I saw what Hossa could do on the Thrashers, but I was irked that they let him walk.

Straight up trade? That's tough. I wouldn't be happy to have him, but if he kept his scoring pace, I wouldn't grumble loudly. I dont think he would be a good fit with the rest of the lineup, and LGW would be filled with "Why can't Babcock find a center for Kane?" or "Trade Howard for a center that can win a faceoff..." Err wait, that last one probably already exists.

What if he wasn't a Hawk? Would you like him better?

No. Most likely not. And that's not my Blackhawk hate showing up either. He has the skill to finish and score, which is more than can be said about a few of the Wings, but he has that "Controller Disconnected Syndrome" when it comes to defense.

Now, if only Sharp was a righty... ;)

Sharp doesn't play a lot of defense either, but compared to Kane, some would argue that he's Selke worthy. I can see that, but it doesn't concern me. Kane has a role and excels at it.

Also... Kane is +10 on the year while Sharp is -10.

Thing is both of them pick the defensive part of their games up in the playoffs. I realize that everyone should play to their peak all of the time, but that's just not realistic and I've come to accept that many of the Hawks (try to) flip the switch come April.


That's why I don't get bent too much over regular season losses. If they're not gonna really care till the playoffs, why would I?
