Hey Pierre - put that Franzen video out on the board. I remember that - 2 hat tricks in one playoff series - jeez. I thought he was only going to get better and better. Big man put the team on his back. We need that from Mantha and Rasmussen. But Mule has much. much better foot speed than those guys. At times I'd see him twirling in the corner and just catch the number 3 on his back and mistake him for Datsyuk. Huge loss when he left us.

I always loved his hands...dude had such good hands in close..he could pop the water bottle of the net roofing a puck from the crease in heavy traffic. Damn shame he had to retire due to concussions. I still remember the Mule coming back int he playoffs from a concussion and in the first several shifts he takes a cross-check right to the head...no penalty.

After seeing the Pavel highlights I'll take him back. If he wants to play for us I'll take Datsuyk over Vanek for the geezer forward on the team. I like the #1 as he faked Turco outta his jockstrap on that breakaway. Turco is still searching for it today  I like all Pavel highlights and not just scoring...the moves, faking people out so bad they fall down, the reversing of hits when the opponent thought he had him lined up. Also the hit he had on Chara knocking the big man on his ass. |

in one of those Mule's hats i am in the stands, i remember it vividly, but back then we were spoiled, it was natural and normal to witness amazing events on the ice…
...i maybe saw 6 home games of the SCP in each of 2008 and 2009
From 2003 to 2015 my best friend was highway 401 !
can't remember the number of road trip i had from the early 70s to today..its in the hundreds !

i remember one routine period in 2007 ...Chicago in town, i had a good seat as usual. We won 3-1...a routine game i said but for some Reason that first period of the game where the Hawks SIMPLY didnt't touch the puck..and i mean it. It was an amazing display of skills and fun. Ovations after ovations from the fans..
i aslo remember one PP. 2 minutes in the Hawks zone, Kroner, Dats, Z, Mule didnt leave the puck for one second, the whole 2 min they pinned the Hawks in the zone.
...we didnt score on that PP...but the crowd gave the team a standing ovation for over 30 seconds
just for that..
I'm telling ya we were blessed !

I generally am only interested in watching my team so not much to say about the past many years. Looking forward to the recent changes at the top!
