Public Service Annoouncement about this site. If you are logged on to the forums page, you are not necessarily logged on to the home page. If you are looking for a current Frenchy blog on the home page, make sure you are logged on. (Check the log in/log out status at the right of the top banner.) When you’re logged on to the home page, it refreshes and new articles appear. Maybe that’s why no one knew about the Detrroit game thread.
Frenchy’s most recent column appearing on the home page today Tuesday, not on the forum topic page.
5 Reasons the Blackhawks’ Hot Start Is Real — and Built to Last
I was popping in and out to see if there were any comments in the general thread.
Couldn’t see the Detroit thread until today.Odd that hockeybuzz had more comments when the team was absolutely abysmal,but now when they are at least watchable there seem to be way less comments.
Chicago is a Bears town, but I was watching the Hocks,and checking in here on the board!
Hopefully as the season goes there will be more interactions here!
Mikhayev is an interesting case.
Good name.
Mikheyev has a 12 team no-trade list.The last game thread that I see is the Calgary game.
Interesting. When I click that link I posted, I see this:
Can you try this site in an alternate browser? Just for a test?
By the way, we had only three comments during the game, and Metalhead, you were one of them.
Just an observation—-
There were no posts in the general thread during the afternoon game.
As Gramps pointed out, the Bears were also playing, and Chicago is a Bears Town before anything else.
So, it’s not like people are going to the General Thread instead of Game Day Thread.
There were simply no Hawks posts during the hockey and football games (I posted late morning, well before puck drop).Between late starts and then an afternoon game, there was less game time posting overall during the road trip.
Maybe when they are in Central and Eastern time zones, there will be more posting during earlier puck drops?If and a big if, they keep performing the way they are so do they trade Murphy? I can see Dickinson definitely being traded.
Murphy has been a loyal warrior for years.
He has a 10 team no-trade list according to capwages.
My guess is they let him have a say in it, unless someone not on his NT list offers way too much. (unlikely imho)Dickinson, it all depends on his health.
Overall I wonder how they approach the trade deadline if (just for example) the Hawks are out of the playoffs
but have an outside chance to get in with a great end of year run.
Would they keep the veterans in order to give the team more meaningful games for the youngsters?Like you said, a big “if” but also a lot of variables too.
Mikhayev is an interesting case. UFA at the end of the year, at 32 y.o. He will be looking for his last big payday. Do you sign him (he probably will want a minimum of 3 years), trade him for an asset at the TDL, or wait until the end of the year and evaluate then?
Mikheylev for a 2nd round draft pick
Actually, it was even better than that! Hawks got Mik, Laffy, AND a 2nd rounder for a 4th rounder. Excited to see where the Florida and NYI picks end up being at the end of the season. Last year with the Jones trade, I assumed the Florida pick would 100% be #28-32 range but now…
