sigh, i miss Panarin.

Saad, what a freaking beast.

What was that lil Russian guys name? Bread something?

Ha

Sh!t Schmaltz-

Saw this last year too- run up a big lead, and watch the other team tie it in the 2nd.

Keep the pressure boys

Prediction: if Forsling has some bad moments Q rotates him with Franson, maybe he is not solid too often and by Thanksgiving is sent to Rockford. Lots of pressure t o win, so Q will go with veteran if any cracks in armour.

They aren't wasting a lot of time. Everything at the net right now. Good change from last year (so far).

Speed speed speed and quick to pucks

Kempny skating with the puck too a lot. Looks dangerous and confidentwith it. I want to see that all year from him.

Manchild is down right man beast in his second time around.

What with the new organist??? seems off with Big Jim...

A toast to Samuelson but especially to Dineen for speaking up!

Don't mind see 10 cruising down the wing and ripping one either.

THIS

The defending champion Penguins were singing the Blues then hit with onslaught tonight.

Two more tallies tonight = touchdown. Who thought we see it first on ice than on gridiron this fall?

This is a re-energized team with a hot injection of youth. They're also pressuring the point like crazy. Creating a lot of turnovers that are leading to odd man rushes. I want to cry it's so beautiful.

That's a damn good start!

Might fall in love with Schmaltz this year. He's got tons of skill underrated speed and it looks like he just gets it. Knows his weaknesses and spent the offseason working on them.

If he becomes a legit scoring center for Kane watch out. To date who is the most dynamic offensive center Kane has had? Old man Richards?

Chris Bodin replaces Sirott. Dream job, return to pl ay - by-play.
Sirott was good as WGN pre and post game host. Perhaps somewhat snug as much as arrogant imho but worth listening.
Bodin strikes me as a company man yes man type. I expect he follows Sirot's successful entertaining script.

Other: off to great start. Sooner or later the team will have to adjust to the sure to be applied Nashville smothering muck tie up center ice defense. Just getting puck up ice quicker is not the whole response to counter.

Wow, 4-0. Niemi never as good as when he debut as Blackhawk. Although at first he was so so in SJ.

Real nice start this evening...young D look active. But as you mention Pens a skating team - wait til we get to the muck it up/tie up center ice teams. Beauty by Sharpie there on a nice outlet off the boards from AA. That hip looks pretty good to me...

Agree again....Schmaltz looks amazing and he will certainly become the most dynamic and explosively talented 2C we've had in the Kane/Toews era.

(frank)in Toews....

As crazy as it sounds this game is far from over

We've seen the Hawks blow huge leads before, and Penguins are the most explosive team in the league.

Toews may have just given them life with that stupid ass penalty.

That Kane goal wasn't fair!

Sorry but that was a crap call. Malkin taking a dive too. I've seen numerous Pens set the same pick this game.

Wow! Just had a break from work and checked out the score.
Let's all get overly enthusiastic and make our parade plans!
I mean, this is a great, great start. Somethings working!

Keith is fighting it a bit tonight.

The way I see it the refs owed the Hawks one for that boarding no-call at the end of the first.
