Last night the Hawks unveiled the jersey that they will Don for this year's winter classic. Scheduled to take the runway was every girl's favorite Patrick Sharp. But instead it was Brandon Saad, the 1st runner up, that made the appearance. [More on this in a bit.] Sharp is out for about month with a lower body (knee) injury he suffered against Montreal. We should hear today who gets called up from Rockford to fill the void. I am not sure that they Hawks are prepared to have Teuvo play in the NHL on a regular basis. If it was only a week we would probably see him. My guess is Mashinter unless Q wants to try Regin out again but he would need to be a wing man. Regin does shoot left.
So we should see more shifting of line, if that is possible, from Q. Morin now in a position to play more and make or break his destiny. As I noted before, I think he is getting his last chance with Q. In recent games he has looked pretty good. All in all, it will be interesting to watch how this plays out on Friday night when the Caps join us on the UC ice surface.
Now, back to our jersey. A 1957 "like"jersey will be used on that throwback Thursday on Jan 1. I like the letter/number look but thought the tomahawks looked kinda funky. Here is Brandon sporting the look:

Compare that to an actual 1957 jersey:

Hawks marketing department chose not to go back to that old Indian head on the front. I wish they had to complete the effect. But in any case, it will be great to see this game come the new year.
