Saad just signed a contract.

Kane between Hossa and Brunette is gonna be sick as well.

StanBow gets extended today as well.  He's done a remarkable job in the short time he's been in charge.  Our organizational depth is simply outstanding, our core is signed and the future is blindingly bright.  He's easily the best GM in town.

Of course, he doesn't have any competition......

Jaeckel wrote an interesting piece on that today.

I'm not sold on Kane at center yet .... but who knows maybe that's the motivation he needed. He looked pretty good in exhibition at center.

Yeah, I'm leery about it too, but when he and Hossa were together, they were dynamite.

Hossa was dynamite all preseason.  Seriously the highlight of Hawks pre-season.

Ok ..now that the mean nothging pre seasaon is over ..the Canuck thread can be resurrected..see ..good teams give the sweat off a rats ball sack about what happens in pre season..it means zero ..i remember when the Canucks were a struggling team with no hope..yes we followed pre season..we all got all giddy with a good pre season..meant we sucked like usual come reg season....kinda ..like you Hawk fans ..no body gives  a sh1T  about pre season..get it hawk   fans ?...bend ..over and take it like the  prison stooolies u are..u ARE the fodder ..good team pass u around for smokes..does anybody care what kind of pre season Hossa had ..lol..... Ben Smith took a whack ....boo hoo  ..listen  ..ill be straight here..it may sting?   Nobody cares about Fodder...and ur Fodder..other teams practice on ur lame a$$es  to prepare for the real competition...if you put up a great start ..maybe coach will take u all out to the Dairy Queen for a Sundae?..keep ur chins up fodder ..somebody has to suck...its the way the uiniverse is..everybody cheers for the challenged kid..and nobody more than myself...here is a couple chest pumps to u guys ..500 looks like a million miles from where u are ...but believe ..and if SARS hits the rest of the NHL  and the moons align ..Hawks will be a 11 th place team...Believe .........................Believe

Someone let me know if randle says anything not retarded.

Looks like the experts are all high on the Hawks.  I bet they'd laugh openly at moy's bet with me.

They were high on them last season as well. I was the one laughing.

The hawks downfall will be defensive depth. Like last season... teams will target Keith, Seabs, or Hammer..... if any one of them go out for a substantial amount of time the hawks are finished imo. A hodge podge defense of Leddy, Monty, SOD, Lepisto, and Scott will not get it done as the 2nd and 3rd pairings. Big reason I made the wager. Crawford inexperience as well. Hawks can score but will defensive and goal depth hold up? Good Luck this season Muddy... and hopefully the hawks stay healthy.
