Mine is Frolik. So much potential and just a whole lot of nothing. Reminds me of Daze the way he just never materialized into anything worth the hype.

Daze had a great shot. That thing was wicked.

Watching Frolik shoot is rage inducing as a fan. He can't even get it on net the vast majority of the time. However, he skates hard every shift and is good defensively.

My least favorite would have to be Bollig. His fights suck ass and he's just not that good of a player. Hopefully when Sharp comes back, Hayes will stay up and Bollig will go back down.

It's just that they're both right wingers and they're both so fucking far from expectations that I can't stand it. Daze for different reasons though... he was HURT ALL THE GODDAMN TIME.

Harrelson.

True, but on the rare occasions he wasn't, he would actually score a goal or two.

Yeah, Frolik and Bollig are at the bottom of my list. I'll say Frolik since Bollig sits more.

Yea. He had quite a few back surgeries done in a short period of time. His career ended soon after.

I got no use for the guy (Frolik). Has he had a good game yet this year with all the success around him?

T. Hawk was shit in Super Street Fighter 2.

I can see that. he plays a role that isn't really needed because of the type of team that the Hawks are.
I don't have much use for him either myself.

I don't think he was terrible, but the other "big men" in the game had some better stuff. Honda had the 100 hand slap, Zangief had better 360 moves. Honestly, I'm not a fan of these guys anyways. I've always been a fan of the "Motion" fighters (Karate guys, Sagat, Dhalsim, Fei Long).

We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much. — Ronald Reagan

Carcillo or Bollig. Bollig has the least talent of anyone on the team. Carcillo has flashes of competence, but is mostly dumb, and, with the unforeseen rise of Andrew Shaw to #3 center, has gone from quite redundant to thoroughly redundant. Still, I can't help but have a soft spot for the Jeff Tweedy-looking dolt (I call it like I see it). Bollig just annoys the hell out of me, especially those nights where his PIM > TOI. All that being said, I don't think I've ever loathed a Blackhawk of recent vintage as much as Nick Boynton, and neither one comes close to raising my ire as much as Boynton ever did.

Frolik is frustrating, but at least he's been a good PK specialist this year. When you recalibrate your expectations for him and just see him as an energy guy and not a failed top draft pick, it's better. He's gone at the end of the year, anyway.


Yeah, that Jon McPimp ruined the Blackhawks. At least Dollar Bill was honest with you. Go back to the Flubbies, you cant even skate!!

Fitting that Jack Skille was who the Hawks gave up for Frolik.

Captain Adrian Aucoin was a semen bucket. When he was signed with Khabby and LaPointe after lockout I got pretty excited as a few publications had the Hawks as a sleeper team coming out of the lockout.

For a 4 year $16 million deal he rewarded the Hawks by suiting up 92 games, 22 points and -35 over two season before getting his bum ass traded. Piece of shit.

This is actually a very easy question and one that truly only has one correct answer. Anyone who says a player other than Bickell doesn't understand the game of hockey. The guy is a first rate bum. Say what you want about the Froliks and Boligs of the world, but at least they TRY. Frolik has trouble finishing, but at least he busts his ass 100% of the time he is on the ice. Bolig? He's a fighter and shouldn't be on an NHL roster, but in the past few games alone he's gotten to the net with the puck for scoring chances more than Bickell has all season.

Bickell is lazy, stupid and puts out the minimum effort. He's huge, yet he refuses to finish checks with authority. He's got a great wrister, yet he probably leads the league in getting shots blocked by the stick of the defender standing 5 feet in front of him. Board battles? He loses those consistently. Bad decisions and turnovers at the blue line? Check.

The guy is the definition of a lazy bum. Name one other Hawks player who's faults are effort related? You can't and that's why Bickell is the ONLY correct answer to this question.

Real answer: I actually agree with shakes. Bickell is a bit of a useless pud. He has been better this year, thanks to some conditioning by playing in Europe during the lockout, but at the same time, he still tends to favor the wrist shot from the high circle, which doesn't get through half the damn time anyway. Bollig and Carbomb are doing pretty much what they do...and NHL teams are built to account for guys like that.

Hate for Bickell is unwarranted. His "loafing" so far has racked up 6-11-17 in 29 games.

So he hasn't maximized his tools and size? The list of power forwards failing to match potential is endless. He's turned himself into a productive bottom six plug.
