Great kill.

[Cynosure]

Sweet... Neil crushed Toews and Toews gets a penalty.

 

You're responsible for your stick. There was nothing wrong with Neal's check.

 

Not saying there was, just sucks.

[Cynosure]

What a save...

[kujay]

Ohhhhhh what a save by Turco!

 

And that penalty call is crap. They were both going for the puck. That's not tripping.

 

EDIT: On the replay, I'm calling that one the save of the year.

We'll certainly see it a few million times. That was pretty cool.

[kujay]

KABOOM! Walker or Eager, who cares!

 

EDIT: Eager didn't touch it. Just a knuckler.

Ballgame, Hawks better keep their heads on swivels... Ott the punk is going to be unleashed for goonery.

HAWKS GOAL

 

2 - 19:44 - Walker scores (1), assisted by Barker (23) and Byfuglien (12).

 

Hawks lead 3-0.

It's kinda crazy that the Blackhawks are going to likely have the 3rd most points in the conference after today after having played 33 road games and only 24 home games so far.

 

So for the rest of the season we'll have 8 more road games and 17 more home games, and have 2 games in hand over Detroit to make up 10 points. Not saying it will happen but its possible. Make up 7 points between now and the last 2 games of the season and we have a shot.

 

If we win this game, we'll have finished a stretch where we played 11 road games out of their last 12 games, and have gone 9-3 in that stretch. Amazing

[kujay]

Even if the Hawks weren't on their game today and sharp with their passes, Dallas seems to have no interest in forechecking. St. Louis has given the Hawks fits this year because they forecheck the hell out of them and force turnovers by the defensemen.

 

This is just a clinic at this point.

[Cynosure]

Wow WIZ got destroyed.

[UMFan83]

Wow what a turn of events.

 

Shutout streak over

[salukifudd]

Well, that sucks.

[kujay]

Ott with the breakaway. Great. Just a wild sequence there.

[salukifudd]

Too bad Havlat couldn't finish that, he has been unreal handling the puck lately.

Turco's save: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH8Hej4Tbgs

[kujay]

Wow, Dallas is showing a pulse here. Just a few more solid shifts though and the guys get to go home with another great road win.

[kujay]

I hope the team gets a hell of a welcome home tomorrow from the home fans. They are fun to watch.

[Cynosure]

And the tough part is over!

 

INCREDIBLE FEBRUARY so far!

 

7-2 in the most ridiculous road trip month I've ever seen!

[17 Seconds]

At 2.28 Huet now has the 6th best GAA in the NHL.

 

We've got a pretty good situation in the net right now

[Cynosure]

Harding instead of Backstrom tonight. Looks like Niemi won't get his shot afterall... can't really blame Q on that decision, although I would have loved to see Niemi get his shot!

 

If we score first we win 3-1 or 4-1 with an EN, if the Trappers score first... we lose 2-1.

[Cynosure]

Lame "tribute" there.

[Cynosure]

This is fun "hockey" to watch. ZERO forecheck from the Wild...

[Cynosure]

Yep.... terrible ass no name goalie playing like Patrick Roy. Too bad his name is too awful to throw my token ROY into it somehow.
