Anyhow, not really crowing about anything because the season is still young...but, anyone catch Chicago playing on TV...? One thing that has really stuck out is the exceptional speed this team has... 
Coupled with the decent skill in the lineup...I think we've got something here. I am optimistic that my pre-season optimism'll hold.

Detroit fan here, Dom's a leaf fan, but not the retarted kind that thinks they're awesome and holier than thou, we're both cheering them on for last place to continue rebuilding with good draft pick position, so you'll see disappointment in this thread when they win.

Interesting. Interesting.
It's like my fantasy football team.
I drafted Big Ben backed up by Matt Hasselbeck, Marques Colston, Willie Parker, and Joesph Addai. It quickly turned into the All-Injury team.

Since I don't post anywhere but here anymore, I just thought I'd say that I test drove a 2009 TL today and it had all the road-feel and handling of an overstuffed chesterfield. Wow did they take a step backwards. Are they designing their cars in Ohio now too?
That is all.

Mother, Daughter die at Blackhawks games 22 years apart
As living beings, of which the notion of life itself still remains mysterious, we are aware that with each coming day, we inch closer to the coffin. Death, as mysterious as life itself, strikes at the most unlikely and unplausible times for most.
It did for Marguerite Kuhlman, and in 1986, her mother Mildred.
The 68-year old woman passed away while attending the Hawks-Avalanche game at the United Centre this past Monday. Interestingly but strangely enough, Marguerite’s mother Mildred Kulman died at Chicago Stadium during a game 22 years ago, on March 30th 1986, at the old but well remembered Chicago Stadium.
Her sisters, Patricia and Dorothea spoke fondly of Marguerite, and all have been hockey fans in a city that’s now craving hockey for many years.
Dorothea claimed in an interview with the Chicago Tribune’s Noreen S. Ahmed-Ullah that a fellow Hawks fan alerted her that Marguerite had fallen over her seat. Noticing she was unconscious and not breathing, emergency specialists on site were quickly called over. And as the circle of life ends, it did at 8:25 PM CST for Marguerite Kuhlman at the Rush University Medical Centre.
Heart attack? Close enough, in another case that’ll keep the hockey Gods looking on, heart disease was the cause of this all but happy ending.

This seems really out there...but I was just thinking about it.
When a player takes a penalty and goes to the box putting his team on the penalty kill, if the opposing team scores during that PP... that player in the box should get a -1 in the +/-. It makes sense that +/- is not affected if down or up a man, but the guy taking the penalty should be responsible for a goal scored on his team.
Does that even make sense?? haha

I mean depends on how you look at it...in case of a d-man hooking a forward to prevent him from scoring a sure goal, in his case it would be a good penalty to take however he was out of position in the first place.
