Kind of excited about this season. Not expecting great things, but possible playoff appearance would be nice. I like the vets they brought in to protect Bedard and think they can do some things. Always hated Corey Perry, but now that he is a Hawk, love the man.

Love those two assists, too, eh?

Perry, Foligno, Vlasic, and that kid from BC, all on the board in a 4-2 season-opening win. It's really happening.
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

Friendship is better than fighting, but fighting is more useful.

I loved Bedard's aggressiveness. 7 shots in the first period. The dude has a wicked wrister. I told a co-worker they would win. she watched too much pre-season and was down on them.

I think they have a chance to be decent this year. Playoffs as a low seed.

Perry looked pretty damn good as well. Mrazek had a helluva game.

Bedard with his first goal on a follow up play coming around the net. He kept his composure when the Rat, Marchand was trying to throw him off his game. This kid is going to be good.

Tough to win back to backs on the road. Bruins are the better team.

Hawks goalies have looked good in these 2 games. Like Dickinson protecting his teammate. He got a few good shots in.

Bedard is red hot at the moment. He is just getting more confident through every game. It is going to be fun to watch him mature, get stronger and take over the league.

Well, so far this team can't put it together. They have yet to win back to back games. Bedard has been good and inconsistent. Should be expected of a rookie on a bad team.

This Corey Perry shit is interesting. I was hoping for a big impact from him. I got it, just in the wrong way.
