Goon Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 After two weeks of tweaking and salary-cap manipulations, Hawks general manager Stan Bowman completed identical five-year deals for forwards Kane and Toews worth a reported $31.5 million each, while defenseman Keith inked a 13-year, $72 million contract. They have a lot of money tied into Hossa as well. Quote
ScottM Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I'm glad the 'Hawks are actually spending money on young, talented players with a good upside. Much better than the days of "Dollar Bill" Wirtz, and unlike a few other teams who fork over tons of money to players who were "great" last decade ... *cough* Rangers *cough* Quote
siouxhockeygirl14 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I'm SO happy for Jonny T!!!!! Quote
Ray77 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Happy for Toews, he deserves it. Kane... not so much. Why do you say that? Are you saying that because of the taxi cab incident he's not as good of a hockey player? Other reasons? Quote
Goon Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Why do you say that? Are you saying that because of the taxi cab incident he's not as good of a hockey player? Other reasons? Put me in the camp of someone that thought that was a silly statement as well. Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 i won't go as far as to say kane doesn't deserve his contract, because he is a hell of a hockey player, and being a di@k to a cabbie doesn't change that fact... but i can't say i didn't think last summer that management might use this incident to their advantage to sign him for a little less, who wants some spoiled kid who beats up a cabbie over a dollar, but i think they understand how important kane and toews are to the future of that franchise, and hope that this was a one time mistake, im sure management has had plenty of conversations with him to ensure it doesn't happen again. not sure if this affected his contract negotiations at all, which considering they gave him and toews identical ones, i would have to say it had no bearing whatsoever. heck, tiger woods has been screwing around on his wife for years, and not only are all of his sponsors backing him... he's now getting new sponsorship offers?? its the world we live in.

Kane is an amazing player and should be conpenated for his efforts. Quote
jodcon Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Jon Toews scores his 7th in the first, Blackhawks down 2-1 in the second. Quote
Big A HG Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Jon Toews scores his 7th in the first, Blackhawks down 2-1 in the second. Yep, Jonny is starting to get it rolling a bit. He has a 3-game goal streak and 8 pts in his last 7 games (5-3--8). Let's hope he keeps it going. Quote

Oh yeah... Chicago Cubs (1990s)....Minnesota Twins.... Wirtz was just as bad as McCombs (Vikings), Pohlad (Twins), and a few others... But I do agree. Spending money on guys in their prime or entering it is a GOOD idea even though you will probably spend more. Quote
ScottM Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Wirtz was just as bad as McCombs (Vikings), Pohlad (Twins), and a few others... I remember reading that after Dollar Bill died 'Hawks fans started booing when they did a moment of silence in his honor. Quote

siouxforeverbaby Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Zajac and Parise both had an assist in tonight's 4-3 win over the Red Wings. Went to a shoot out, Parise scored in the shoot out and Zajac missed. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Zajac with a goal, and Parise with an assist in tonight's Devils/Sabres game. Parise goal disallowed due to being kicked in. He tried! Brodeur gets the record tying shutout record at 103. Quote
jodcon Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Parise goal disallowed due to being kicked in. He tried! Cheating Sioux strike again! Quote
31-9 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Cheating Sioux strike again! Yes, but Parise's quote in one of the local newspapers was: "... I didn't do it blatently." I would also like to add that if Ryan Miller didn't reach out to smack Parise in the ass, he probably would've made the save on the Devils' 3rd goal. Just sayin. Quote
Ray77 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I heard it said somewhere that during a recent game they were interviewing Steve Yzerman about the Canadian Olympic camp (or naming the team or whatever) coming up and he was asked if he could come back as a current NHL player, who would he come back as. His answer? Zach Parise Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Yes, but Parise's quote in one of the local newspapers was: "... I didn't do it blatently." Hilarious!!!! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Yes, but Parise's quote in one of the local newspapers was: "... I didn't do it blatently."

Parise may want to request NOT to room with him at the Olympics! Quote
