I am sticking with my story I have had all year. I do not see a team that I think is capable of taking 4 out of 7 from them.

Maybe I will be proven wrong, and you never know what can happen with injuries and such, but I feel pretty confident that they will be hoisting the cup again in a few weeks.

Lundqvist and Price can singlehandedly win a series for their respective teams. You wanted to know how, there, that's how, because it won't come from their mostly mediocre skaters. Quick could against most teams but not ours.

You can't be serious. They are heading to WC finals (again) under his captaincy (4th time?). He's just turned 26, right?

The NHL regular season is a long haul, and it's not really the captains job to make Bickell give a flying fuk all year long, is it? He's already in the group of best captains of all time, and he's got a long way to go. Is there another captain in the NHL you'd rather have right now?

Again, I feel a bit silly about it, but really, I'd rather have Toews there than pretty much anyone in sports. You can't quantify leadership, but from afar, I think Toews personifies the kind of teammate you'd like to go to war with. "Captain Serious" is so perfect for him. He really is serious: serious about winning.

It is said that Kane is the players other players watch when he has the puck. You can never count him out. He has the knack of knowing the perfect time to step up his game to take it to the next level. Is he on the same level at the all time Greats? Not yet he is at most two tiers below. I put him right below that level. Toews is a total different style of player. He is the constant level with few ups and downs unlike Kane. It is like comparing Rickey Henderson vs Tony Gwynn. Henderson is flashy stealing bases and taking the spotlight. Gynn just went out everyday hit his usual 2 out of 3 Ab and sometimes hit a homer. Unfair to compare them to each other as it is unfair to compare Kane and Towes. They are two sides of a coin. Both are needed and valuable . If you can take both guys and combine them then you would have the perfect player. I am glad Kane is becoming more mature on ice, only good things can come of it.

This is funny to me. Not sure why, but it is.

I think MITC is seriously ill. Im worried. I've never heard him talk this positively about anything.

I go through the same Towes / Kane discussions with myself. I need a new jersey and cannot decide which one. Love them both and Chas did a good job describing it. My captain or the guy I cannot stop watching and loving the highlights. Maybe I will just go with the respected Hossa?

True I flirted with the bitch, but I never got on board.

It was close tho.

We are very lucky to have Kane and Toews in this city.

Both are tremendous big game players.

The best since Jordan.

Toews

I feel like the age gap between wearer and player is critical. Perhaps gentlemen of distinction should be wearing Michal Roszival sweaters.

Yes it is. I was making sure we didn't lose MITC to the RFDCification of the board.

Spaulding is probably right.

Another thing I see about Kane is he is not going to end his career as a Blackhawk. He is a homer,I see him playing his last season or run in Buffalo. Toews on the other hand even though his is a Homer though and through is loyal above all else. He is going to be here till he dies and winds up in a Binnys commercial like the rest of the old Hawks.

All this talk of Kane and Toews makes me want to bring up the other guy who when he is on ice you are drawn to watching,Hossa. Dude can be monster at times with the puck. He just one hands that stick like almost no one else.
Sweater wise I am going wit the unsung hero this year,#4.

Toews and Kane = Yzerman and Federov?

Sounds about right, though I don't see Kane winding up on bad terms with the organization. I don't see either one playing elsewhere. Unfortunately, there are no more lifetime contracts, but they'll both get eight years when their current deals are up, which I believe would lock them up through their sixteenth seasons.
