08-09' Blackhawks (46-24-12) 104 PTS - 4th Seed In The West!

[splintersag]

I wasn't really able to follow the Blackhawks much living in North Carolina with Dollar Bill's policies about TV/radio, and the fact that they haven't been much good recently, so no nationally televised games.

 

But with the recent upgrades into the 21st century (WGN will have games, even though it's local WGN, and WGNradio.com streams games), it looks like fans across the country will at least somewhat be able to follow the Hawks.

 

I don't know as much about hockey or the NHL as football,basketball, or baseball, but I do know some about the Blackhawks, and this year is very promising, to say the least.

 

Can't really say much else since I'm not too hockey-smart, other than go Blackhawks!

This is def. the year to give it a chance :) As said in the Toews ridiculous goal... Kane and Toews are the kind of players that bring franchises back.

Hawks play the Bluejackets tonight...

 

I'll be giving periodic updates on how our main lines are doing throughout the game... it should be on WGN radio for those in Chicago.

 

Also, there are still about 250 tickets left for the game tonight, they are fairly cheap!

Wow a preseason sellout!!!! That's something!

 

Not sure about the WGN Radio thing... isn't there a Cubs game that might interfere with that?

I heart you.

Boulerice is such a schmuck.

 

Cross Checking: 2 PIM

Fighting: 5 PIM

Checking From Behind: 5 PIM

Game Misconduct: 10 PIM (EJECTED)

 

So 12 real PIM in the first period and an ejection.

 

EDIT: Cam Barker also got a game misconduct.

 

EDIT 2: 0-0 Tie after 1st Period.

[Cynosure]

I'm all messed up...

 

The 10 minute misconduct was given to Fraser (not Barker, the ruling was changed)... Boulerice WAS ejected on his misconduct.

 

Halfway through the 2nd... Hawks lead 2-1.

[Cynosure]

Hawks win 4-3!

Went to the game last night...My friend is playing in the AHL this year and is friends with Byfugilen....So we got sky box seats and him and Toews weren't playing so they both came down and we were talking to him Dustin, Toews was standing off to the size. It was pretty sweet!

Nice.

 

I'm not a big fan of the "skybox" experience. Seems too detached for me. But for a preseason game, that's perfect. Buff seems like a real down-to-earth kind of guy. Here's hoping he keeps some of his scoring touch from last year.
