[Sosa21MVP]

Ahhhhhhhh yes there is the part of hockey I love. FIGHT FIGHT. lol

[Cynosure]

FIGHT

 

Adams vs. Gratton

 

What a fight! Haymakers left and right... no edge to either, nice fight!

[Cynosure]

This team is really ridiculous, I wasn't kidding they could have 7 goals by now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This team is really ridiculous, I wasn't kidding they could have 7 goals by now.

 

They just made five whole minutes of even strength look like a power play. Toews and Kane are in a zone.

[Cynosure]

Nashville beating Detroit 3-1 at 2nd intermission... if these scores hold up the Central looks as such:

 

Wings 23-6-4 :: 50pts

Hawks 19-6-7 :: 45pts

[Cynosure]

26 shots... I'd say about 15 quality chances (not scoring chances) we should have at least 1/3 of those chances be goals the way the Hawks are playing... but alas it's only 2-1.

 

I expect an explosive 3rd, so if you're not already.... tune in.

[Cynosure]

Theres another 2 ridiculous chances! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Cynosure]

Hawks start the 3rd with a 1:03 5v3!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And there it is. Finally. Justice.

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

3 - 0:39 (5v3 PP) - Campbell scores (6), assisted by Wisniewski (4) and Kane (25).

 

Hawks lead 3-1.

 

What a great job on the 5v3, I felt that goal coming....

[Cynosure]

ANOTHER 5v3 LMAO!!!!!1

 

EDIT: Not meant as a sleight to the Flyers as a team, they've played well just took dumb penalties.

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

3 - 4:07 (5v3 PP) - Versteeg scores (9), assisted by Byfuglien (7) and Havlat (17).

 

Hawks lead 4-1.

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

3 - 5:11 - Bolland scores (7), assisted by Campbell (19).

 

Hawks lead 5-1

[Cynosure]

Well Sosa, entertained and hooked yet?

 

IF the score holds up (which it obviously should), Hawks will be 9-0-1 in December.

[Cynosure]

FIGHT

 

Brouwer vs. Richards

Brouwer laid the smack down on Mike Richards... Richards slashed Brouwer and Brouwer destroys Richards with an uppercut. Get smacked sore loser.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Had to step out a minute. Nice to see the score match the reality.

[Cynosure]

It isn't 11-1!?!?

[Cynosure]

Well Truffle, the score isn't necessarily indicative to the outcome.

 

Flyers didn't get a morning skate due to the bad weather here in Chicago, leading to a delay.

 

Also, they took 4 TERRIBLE penalties in a row leading to 5 v 3 goals for the Hawks.

 

I am thoroughly impressed with the Flyers and look forward to beating you in the "STANLEY CUP FINALS???" :)

Oh I know good hockey when I see it and tonight was impressive. But........I've been out of the loop for a while so while I enjoyed the game tonight, I'm not sure how long it will take me to really get emotionally invested in a hockey team again.

Heck of a game...the UC was rocking tonight. I love that we got a few "Detroit Sucks" chants in as preparation for the next home game.

 

Moment of the night was easily Brouwer kicking the crap outta Richards. Atta boy Captain, take a hack at a rookie and then let him knock you around a bit. Great leadership. He was obviously frustrated because the Hawks totally dominated. It's just getting ridiculous at this point - they can do no wrong.

[TruffleShuffle]

nice game by the hawks tonight, we probably played our worst game of the year and justly had our asses handed to us.

FIGHT

 

Adams vs. Gratton

 

What a fight! Haymakers left and right... no edge to either, nice fight!

 

come on, your guy lost this one.

 

i also loved our fourth line, two guys who probably could score goals in a tykes on ice game, and a grinder who belongs in the ahl (powe). toughness is great, but it doesn't have much of an impact on the game when the tough guys are so bad they can't play more than 4 minutes a game. f you stevens.

Really?

 

Gratton had a good start but this was pretty dam even...

 

 

For those of you who didn't see it.
