John Jaeckel: Hawks-Leafs Preview

Could be a really wild game. I'm a bit surprised to see Crawford in tonight with the Habs tomorrow night. Maybe he plays both.

I'm looking forward to this game. 2 high scoring teams. Should be some nice back and forth moments. I'm guessing Forsberg will get the start with Crawford being in his hometown of Montreal.

If Kero is ready I see him centering that second line.

Not looking forward to going up against Seabrook and Keith. That and Kane dancing around our d all night. Hopefully it's a fun high scoring game.

Considering the first two games for these teams I am going with a final score of 19-17 leafs

Looks like you've got the Leafs missing an extra point or two or perhaps winning by a safety

Nothing against Forsberg, but considering the way this Toronto team has been potting goals I was hoping Q would put our established goalie in esp with the way Crow's started the season

I’d like to see the Hawks play a tight checking game against this high-flying Leafs team and limit their chances. Offensive posession will help them do that too. Hawks win 3-2. Finally a team not playing a back to back. Good test on the road for the Hawks.

If Kero can’t go tonight, who do they call up to fill out the lineup? I’d go with Dauphin or Kampf, but could see them going with Hinostroza.

yeah, I would think I would play Crawford also...

I am guessing he plays both. Isn't he a hometown boy from Montreal? I would think he has earned that start everytime....

Is Hartman worth picking in the pool this week?

Habs suck, probably saving the backup for them.

Dauphin

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Hoser Hawk fans! Beauty, eh.

Any reason the NHL didn't save this one for a Saturday night and Hockey Night in Canada, as they did the last few years?

Who scores more tonight the Blackhawks, Cubs or Bears.

I just narrowly lost the vote on calling our new dog hoser

Thank you, enjoy your holiday at it's appropriate timing

Crow may have asked to play Montreal instead of Toronto given he grew up near there? Seems petty but who knows

I want a big game from Panik! Let him show TML what they moved awar from.

Rumors abound that he was banging teammates' wives/girlfriends. Hawks ended up getting a steal but TOR had their reasons to move him. Anyone remember Panik's first game vs TOR after the trade? Several Leafs were head-hunting Panik

Just to note, Dauphin is not playing center in Rockford.

Where do you even get this stuff lol. As someone who follows enough team WAG tumblr fanatics, I can say no such rumors exist.

Panik got passed over because Toronto saw him playing in a top 6 role and there just wasn't room for him with their young, elite prospects coming up.

I think he might..if tonight is high a high scoring affair...well maybe not..

Make sense to give forsberg his first action at home vs the wild
