should know better than to second guess you about the hawks
. kieth & seabrook ??? nope(non better) ... but still it takes about 9 nhl caliber d-men in the system to win a stanley cup(the exception being l.a. a few years ago).
the oilers???only time will tell ... I am done b!tching about management & owner ... non of them listen to me anyhoo .
for the record ... toews remains my favorite hawk ... long before ovechkin or Crosby I would take toews for the person to build a team around .

You know I love me some Johnny T...Toews is still one of the top 3 defensive forwards in the league, but Kane's two-way play is vastly improved the last two seasons.
Kaner is second in the NHL in points....if he played with Toews fulltime, I think he would be leaps and bounds ahead of Sid.
Is there a better tandem of the blueline now than Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook? Nope.
Now.....what do we do about Hall, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov? They could use another 2 or 3 David Perron's on that team to show 'em how to play both ends. I wish they would get it together, I'd root for them against every team besides the Hawks.
