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

[jersey cubs fan]

So glad I have some sports team to enjoy after the Bears mediocrity and during the incredibly boring Cubs offseason.

[Cynosure]

Last time the Wings and Hawks played I stated that I hadn't been this excited for a hockey game in a long time... well... I am more excited for this one.

LETS GO REDWINGS.....LETS GO REDWINGS....LETS GO REDWINGS

Come on Hawks, let's make it 10!

I don't think so!

 

Is Lidstrom playing tonight?

He says he is doubtful for Tues and questionable for Thurs. No team report that I found. MRI on Monday confirmed that there is no break. This is a much bigger lose for the Wings than some may think. The Wings have good depth at defense, but no other top tier defensemen.

Cub fan, and Wings fan, all in one brain? That is unpossible sir.

Yeah, seriously. That's probably ban-able.

 

What I want tonight is to hear another road crowd booing their team after every period when they get completely dominated. I know I should expect a tight game, but we are catching Detroit at the right time.

I am Cub fan and MSU fan to spite my father(Tigers and Michigan)...I actually was more of a Habs fan through the 70s and 80s, I liked the Wings but they sucked(bad). I became a Cub fan because they were on TV. Funny how that worked. Than later in life actually moved to Illinois.

[RedFlash]

There's not a team in the NHL I want the Blackhawks to beat more then the Dead Things. Make it so, Hawks.

Looks like Lidstrom is out for tonight. Good break for the Sparrows.

Maybe I'm not up on my Hawks-Wings nomenclature, but is this supposed to be some kind of sleight?

I was wondering that too.

 

I've seen Dead Things, Detoilet, Wangs. That's probably my favorite, though I generally think these sorts of things are silly. Cards fans think they're so clever with Flubs, Schlubs, etc. Ugh.

I do prefer Dead Wangs, myself.

 

Yes, the names are silly. I honestly just don't catch the Sparrows reference, so I will claim ignorance and laugh uncomfortably.

Well, I mean, is the Sparrow the bitch of the Hawk family or something?

That would be funny if that were true

I think most the the names used against Detroit were actually made up by Detroit fans during the 70s and 80s. I dont think that the Sparrows are related to the Hawk except that they are both birds. The Hawks are really named after a native american tribe anyway. Most of the other anti-Hawks stuff is really pretty bad against native americans, so I chose not to say those things.

 

I through the Sparrow thing out since the previous post mentioned the Dead Things.

I thought it was one guy in particular.

BEAT DE-TROIT!!

 

And NewUserName, I encourage you to post your thoughts throughout the game, good or bad towards either team. I know you know a bit more about hockey than me and would love to see your thoughts on the game if you're around.

The Black Hawks' first owner was coffee tycoon Frederic McLaughlin. He had been a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I. This Division was nicknamed the "Blackhawk Division", after a Native American of the Sauk nation, Chief Black Hawk, who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois. McLaughlin evidently named the hockey team in honor of the military unit, making it one of many sports team names using Native Americans as icons. For many years, the name was spelled primarily "Black Hawks", but sometimes "Blackhawks", even by the club itself. This ambiguity was finally settled in the summer of 1986 when the club officially decided on the one-word version based on the spelling found in the original franchise documents.

hawks look great so far...both penalties looked questionable though

edit

Wings are getting Goaltending!!

 

all the penalties have been pretty cheap so far. Hawks look like a different team without Kane.

[Cynosure]

Yea, been a great game so far... I'm surprised nothing more came out of Sharp whacking Zetterberg at the end of the period.

 

I still predict this game is 4-3 or 3-2 but I'm not predicting the winner, it will come down to the last 10 minutes.

 

And why the HELL does Conklin turn into Patrick Roy against us? PUT IN OSGOOD, INJURED AND ALL!!!

[Cynosure]

2nd run at Kane... Brouwer tries to fight Lilja, and he pussies out... what's new?
