The Sharp and Hossa show...

Oh, that is EXACTLY what it has been. 13 goals between the two of them in ONE week. That's Lemieux -Jagr(esque), Gretzky-Messier(ish), ...yes simply an "ish"... Sharp and Hossa aren't quite at that level,...yet.

The Hawks have actually played "DEAD" the first several periods in the last few games, but have managed to come back in the third with strong efforts in each of them (Buffalo at St.Louis: both at home), and managed to win. The new guys in the line-up? Stalberg, Skille, Pisani, Scott, Leddy, Dowell, ...yuk !

Pisani tricked me. I thought after camp he was going to do well. He's started off with some unknown virus called the 10day flu,... or he better have some excuse for he's putting up more donuts than a Chicago cop can put down in an evening.

Skille and Stalberg...give them time. I like their games. Both need to be more consistent, but shingles of talent,...the both of them.

Scott,...U-S-E-L-E-S-S...what's that spell? Get-the-hell-off-my-team, is what that spells. Here's a proposition. While Campbell is down,...keep Cullimore in...Good move "Q". Dump the 6'8'galute. Potulny you can bring back. Or Morin or even the underlooked at Jeff Taffe. (Just a thought...look at his output and video of him in Rockford...not bad).

But, whatever the case.......dump him. Useless.

You're always going to sit someone,... but bring one of them along for the NHL ride. Stalberg is doing ok.

Returning veterans. Keith.........what the hell are you doing? Is that Norris trophy stuck so far up the ole' caboose you forgot how to play? Get your crap together. You're playing like 2007-8 season where I wanted to kill you everytime you touched the puck. No excuses from you........or Hjalmarrson for that matter.
Seabrook and Boynton have done a wonderful job,...and I was hard on Hendry before the season started...he's trying to keep himself dressed for every game,

and he's playing like it too.

The good news about the Hawks is that most of the Stars have decided to carry the Hawks through this beginning stage of "getting to play well with our new linemates"... (Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa,Seabrook, Kopecky, Bolland, Brouwer).

Speaking of Tomas Kopecky,...what a fantasy pick up... He's on both of my teams and raking points...just think about it okay?

The man is playing out his gourd. At this pace he'll equal last years point total before October is up. Way to go Tomas !!! Maybe the media will NOW know how to finally pronounce your last name.

Fun things that happened and things that I've noticed

* Hawks chopper designed by Orange County Choppers. I saw the piece on BHTV and yes,...I WANT IT !!! It rocks !

* Marty is actually playing well. He plays better under pressure it appears.

* Nice that Toews and Kane aren't always needed. They'll be there and continue to support.

* Nashville..starting off hot. They usually play the Hawks tough. I was scared of them as a first round match up (and you saw why)...they match up well with the Hawks.

* This week is Luongo week. Hello Roberto...remember us?

Thank you for supporting my blog and hope to get some comments from you.
