The Hawks really should avoid those Subban-style hits, i.e. ill-advised attempts at the defensive blueline.

Is Bickell for real, or is he John Druce?

Bickell now has 5 more goals than Kane and Toews combined.

Go Kings!

He will probably never be any better than he is playing right now. The guy is going to get paid come July 5th. Every game he plays seems to be putting an extra $100,000 into his pocket on his next contract.

So how badly are we overpaying bickell in the off season. As long as its 3 years or less it wont hurt us so while he is worth 2.5 I suspect we end up paying at least 3.5

Ice must be tilted because Hawks are dominating. Just a matter of time before its tied again.

I hope you are a prophet GGG, Bickell playing for the Flames would be a dream come true!

I had this debate with someone on CP a week ago. I figured $3 million max would get him, the other poster said $4 million would get him. Now i think the other poster was closer with his assumption.

I love Bob Cole, but it's sad that he can't tell the difference between right handed 6'0 190 lb Voynov and left handed 6'5 250 lb Penner...

I see 4 at the top end of what he might get. But that is a lot for a third liner. I think a team would regret paying him more than 3 and regret going longer than 3 years. He is the guy most likely to be overpaid jul 1. If Chicago wins the cup he is the run away con smyth guy right now.

I wonder how long it will take for the Flames to get to this level of play. Thoroughly entertaining and so highly skilled.

Does Healy always have to such a smarmy, offensive, negative dick? God I wish they'd get rid of him.

Sometimes when Healy analyzes a goaltender's game I wonder if he really truly played the position.

Not square to the shooter? The guy was a foot behind the goal line, Glen.

At least he seems to have stopped wearing his Stanley cup ring on the panel. I literally lol'd when I saw him with that thing on the other day.

You rock that 19 year old ring you won as a backup you hack.

The way he goes on about his cup win, you'd think he was an integral part of the team. I guess making sure the bench door opens properly must be a lot more important to team success than it sounds.
