WildCard Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I got the idea when thinking about the Hawks as a team and how I would like the Sabres to be built like them. The only word that keeps coming to mind when I think about Chicago is "solid". There really isn't a weakness in any of their lines, they can roll all 4 and play very well, and their d-pairings don't really have one pair that you can pick on. Crawford's playing bad? No worries, Darlings here. Kane out? Crawford and Toews pick it up. So, here's the idea: For the playoff teams, pick one word to describe them. I figure this way we can see what we want the Sabres to be in the future, and what we don't want them to be. West: Chicago: Solid Nashville: Offensive-Defensmen St.Louis: Diverse Minnesota: Responsible Anaheim: Centers Winnipeg: Big Canucks: Creativity Calgary: Youth-Speed East: NYR: Solid Pittsburgh: Flashy Montreal: Special Teams Ottawa: Potential Detroit: Smart Tampa Bay: Dangerous NYI: Leadership Washington: Physical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I feel like Chicago's has to be a more positive word than just "solid." They play beautiful hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 You can't poke holes in something that's solid ;) There's nothing you can do when the Shithawks start swooping down on you. I like "relentless" for the Blues. If they had more high end offensive talent they'd be downright dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
