- The Hawks will occasionally squander points by letting the opposition back into the game after batting them around like a cat toy. It's unfortunate but it happens. It just bugs me all the more when it happens against The Missourah Morons. I feel like they had this one and, by various means, let it slip away.
- There are probably several teams around the NHL in which TVR could legitimately be playing 18 minutes/game, but The Hawks are not one of those teams. Seriously, when he has his best game he's barely acceptable and even an average game for TVR is one in which he's routinely out of position, missing his assignment and paralyzed with indecision. I don't see this nightmare ending anytime soon, so I'll just shut the hell up.
- Brandon Mashinter over Richard Panik? Yeah, that makes sense. What does Mashinter do, exactly? He doesn't fight, despite his rep, and when he does he's not even that good at it. He records the occasional hit...against stationary opponents. He's easily the worst skater I've observed...possibly ever, cannot make or receive a pass and is as guilty as TVR is of just milling around, waiting for something to happen so he can respond incorrectly to it. Ugh.
- I used to find Pierre McGuire cheerfully amusing but, now that he feels it necessary to weigh in on every damn thing he thinks he sees, he's just tiresome.
- Okay, maybe Ryan Reaves is a worse hockey player than Brandon Mashinter. He's certainly more stupid.
