Still here

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@fullmetalninja @YouTube NBC fired him at the Hawks request because he criticized Bedard on national broadcast. Any wonder why the Beat writers are lickspittles ?

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@DanProft Dems found Platners replacement.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST You don't give $18 million a year to a hockey player with 2 bad shoulders . Bedard should have been signed last summer, terrible asset management by K D .

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@fullmetalninja 5'9 rookie who hasn't skated one shift on an NHL surface, less room, less time to make decisions.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST Why not extend Murphy and Dickinson and keep continuity and leadership in the room ?

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST How many set up guys in MLB fail when they try to become closers ? Being the #1 guy has lots of pressure and responsibilities.
Did you ask KD if he offered the #4 for Tuch ?

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@CRoumeliotis 4th pick and Crevier for a guy KD could have gotten next summer for free, Byram wasn't resigning in Buffalo. Don't make this trade if Korchinski and Levshunov aren't busts. Terrible asset management.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@fullmetalninja 4th pick for a guy he could have had as a free agent next summer, Byram wasnt going to resign in Buffalo.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST If Korchinski and Levshunov weren't busts trade not needed. Byram, 7 years in NHL, not getting any better , 3rd team, UFA at years end with an agent who takes his clients to free agency.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST 11 point improvement was from the goalies standing on their heads in Oct/Nov.
Dec 1 on Hawks were 15-35.
3-15 last 18 home games.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@JDietzSports Q : How do you get fired by the Blachawks ?
A : Win 3 Stanley Cups.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@JDietzSports An angry Rick Bowness postgame: "All you gotta do is look at the stat sheet. Three hits, 23 giveaways. I don't know if I'm back, but if I'm back, I'm changing this culture. These guys, they don't care. Losing is not important enough to them. It doesn't bother them."

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST Why will it be forgotten ? This is how the Kiddie Corps takes over leadership in the room ?

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BarstoolChief You haven't seen playoff hockey in Chicago for a while, you are forgetting how PHYSICAL it is. Where do yo see that on the Hawks roster ?

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST Rinzel, like Korchinski was rushed to the NHL. Rinzel needed another year or two of college weight room and dining table. He's not Duncan Keith V.2.,you only get 1 of those in decades. More poor asset management.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@KurtSchlichter Cream of Asshole soup endorsed and served by Kelly Turnbull.

@BenPopeCST "Learn how to protect ourselves"
Been playing hockey since they're....what.....5 ?
Hawks are soft and the rest of the NHL knows it.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BarstoolChief 1st 2 periods vs NYR in MSG, Original 6, Hawks DMen were credited with ZERO hits. Issue isn't dropping the gloves it's team toughness.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST Coach sending a message to the GM. These guys are going to eat a lot of crap from the opposing players.

[Mike Thompson @MikeTSlapshot]

@BenPopeCST He wasn't a good NCAA player this year, should be in Rockford not rewarded with an NHL job.
