  • Once More Unto The Breach – The Committed Indian's Season Preview: Dineen and 24/7

    Once More Unto The Breach – The Committed Indian's Season Preview: Dineen and 24/7

    We continue our roll through what will matter and what won’t in the upcoming season. Today we go over to longtime guy I Am Not Chico Maki and his two queries.

    Will the addition of Dineen (and subtraction of Kompon) be noticed in any tangible way on and/or off the ice?

    On the ice maybe. If Kompon was in charge of the power play, then we can assume that Dineen will be as well. If Kitchen takes it over, then God help us all. Anyway, the thing is it’s fun to joke about how incompetent Kompon made the power play (it’s one of Kings’ fans faves), but the Hawks did finish 10th last year with a respectable 19.5% clip. Of course, the year before that they were awful, and each year in the playoffs they’ve been pretty much woeful for long stretches.
