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

[Cynosure]

One thing thats drawn me to the Hawks is they seem to be an up and coming team. I feel like I'm kind of getting in (close to) the ground floor here, if I really make an effort to educate myself about the team, and sport.

 

Any of us will gladly answer any of your questions about the sport, no matter how dumb of a question you think it is. Hockey isn't a sport you can be completely entertained by unless you know the rules.

 

I feel like I'm a Mormon going door-to-door here, I'll convert anyone!!

It seems important that we convert this PP, since we're 0-4, have a 20% something average, and it's a tie game.

 

Get it done!

If anything its encouraging, since you're apparently so passionate about the game. It's a good sign!

With a 22.5% conversion rate, we're "due".

I like it! Did they confirm bleacher ticket sales?

[DiamondMind]

Speaking as a new fan (something the NHL should want to attract), outdoor hockey is awesome. They should do more of it.

HAWKS GOAL

 

3 - 13:51 - Byfuglien scores (5), assisted by Havlat (14) and Versteeg (16).

 

Hawks lead 4-3.

Especially at major venues irrelevant to the sport, such as Wrigley Field. What a marketing dream.

What a versatile team... they literally played their WORST tonight... and still pulled out the win.

So true... it's so nice to finally see a Hawks team play like complete Howry and still pull out 2 points. I love this team.

I disagree, this was an embarrassing performance by the Hawks... watch the game vs. the Blue Jackets... you'll get fights and likely a Hawks win... but wow did they look bad tonight!

Good one as in season?

 

If you were referring to tonight, we sucked dick.

 

But, real record 14-13, we are above .500 and I believe we should be well above that. I can't wait for this team to get their [expletive] together!

I wonder what the projected beer sales are for this game ;-).
