Tonight it's the hawks and the return of Marc Crawford after the team was investigating whether or not he was is an asshole. The hawks have a 3 game win streak ending tonight.

I like that Green is sticking with Fantenberg. He has been a pleasant surprise this season. He can play tough, not Benn tough, but tough, and he has some offensive upside. I've liked his game so far this year and he deserves to be in the line up. Mind you I like Benn for his toughness but he was becoming a bit of a disaster out there.

I wonder if Chicago gets a SHUTOUT tonight?

So if Canucks win tonight then Green is one step closer to coaching in the All Star game. Phoenix would have to win their next two for Green to get bumped. Now that would piss off that other hockey board don't you think? Win it for Green baby, win it for Green.

Agree, HW. Fantenberg deserves to play ahead of Benn. Jordie had been awful his last 10 games or so.

I would LOVE to see Green coach the ASG. Anytime this management group can stick it to the media and so-called "fans", I'm happy.

D-men like Benn are the do do birds of hockey. Those days are over. The entire top 6 has to be smart, puck moving, quick thinking. skilled players now.

It was fun watching the Canadian Anthem. Not one of our starting lineup, including net, are Canadian. Speaks volumes about how outdated that practice is.

Horrible giveaway by Fantenberg. He stunk against LA too. He seems to wilt under a heavy forecheck.

Pettersson’s line is becoming more brutal by the game in our end of the ice

Fancyberg could be suffering from the Biega effect. Bottom-pairing Dman being overplayed.
