great win.

 

like cyno said, they definitely didn't play even close to their best hockey tonight, but they found a way to win. good teams do this and hopefully it's a big part of the maturation process.

Wisniewski will be back for the Columbus game, and boy is he ready!

 

Just saw him play for Rockford tonight against the Wolves... how's this line for you...

 

3 goals, 1 assist, #1 star of the game...

Please kick someone's ass!

Almost game time!! Who's gonna be around tonight?

 

I'm really excited to see Brassard and Versteeg tonight... the battle for the Calder.

It's been a pretty lethargic effort so far. Hopefully they can get the PP going.

Story of our lives in the 1st period so far this year.

[Cynosure]

Boos.... really?

 

That's just sad coming from Hawks fans in the 1st period.

Boos aren't uncommon when the PP is spending most of its time in the defensive zone. Passing is not crisp at all right now. Lots of turnovers in the defensive and neutral zones. About three while I typed this.

 

Wow, Huet stoned Nash!

[Cynosure]

WHAT A SAVE by Huet on that Nash breakaway... wow!

 

Well... I haven't heard boos at all this year in the UC even on bad PPs, maybe if it happens twice in the same game it's necessary.

 

Anddddd now it get's chippy.

They deserve it. 2nd straight ugly start from this team.

Guess it's a difference of opinion.

 

I am not one of those "anti-booers", but I think a team should REALLY deserve it to get booed. If the Hawks are down late in the 2nd or in the 3rd and have a PP like that... boos would be completely warranted.

[cubswin2009]

SHARPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

2 - 19:59 (PP) - Sharp scores (17), assisted by Barker (10) and Kane (21).

 

Tie game 1-1.

 

WOW... tertiary assist to the United Center crowd.

[Cynosure]

WHAT - A - GOAL

[cubswin2009]

What a goal!

[17 Seconds]

holy hell that was filthy

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

3 - 9:36 - Havlat scores (8), assisted by Keith (11) and Ladd (11).

 

Hawks lead 2-1.

Okay, I'm calling it.

 

This is *definitely* a playoff team.

I want to [expletive] in my pants knowing we get the wiz back next game, too.

3rd place alone if we win this one.

Which is technically 4th, no? For seeding sake, I mean.

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that we get the fourth seed and then have an epic second-round matchup with Detroit.

I'll take it...

 

A) Epic.

B) I think we could beat them in a 7 game series.

Doubtful. Doesn't the NHL reseed after each series?
