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

[Soul]

Good win.

 

But this is becoming worse than a Cubs game thread.

 

Wait a few weeks.

 

Yeah, never underestimate the Cubbie game threads. Best swirl of emotion in sports.

[RedFlash]

:-)) at the Blackhawks.

 

](*,) at the fact you blow a 3 goal lead.

 

:beg: for a playoff spot.

 

:wave: at the thought of the Hawks being a "dangerous" team in the playoffs.

 

 

I smell "epic fail" for the Hawks. I don't want to believe that, but come on my Cubbie cynicism won't allow me to think otherwise for the Hawks.

 

praying for a playoff spot? seriously? it would be almost impossible for them to blow the playoffs.

 

and why are you waving goodbye to the thought of the hawks being a dangerous team in the playoffs? they just outplayed and beat the best team in the nhl for the second straight time. they also have 6 points in their last 4 games.

 

Frustration. If this team plays to their ability, then yes they will be a dangerous team. But the last month, they haven'[t shown they can be that dangerous team. It takes more then a lucky win against a great team to convince me otherwise.

Haha, I was talking about the Hawks playoff games. But yes, the Cubs game thread madness returns in a few weeks too, I suppose.

[17 Seconds]

Lucky win, but hell a win is a win. But let's face facts this team needs to pull it's collective heads out of their butts and start playing to their potential.

 

Enough Debbie Downer, good win Hawks. Don't............ever...........do that.........to me..........again.

 

how is it a lucky win if they outplayed the other team? it was lucky for the sharks that it even went to ot.

Read the last two pages in this thread. For a hockey thread, it's pretty close to a May Cubs game. People are already jumping off the ship and writing the team off in the playoffs because they blew a three goal lead against a team with insane firepower that the Sharks have. Oh yeah, we still ended up winning the game too.

[Cynosure]

You guys want to see the worst of Cubs GDTs???????

 

Wait til the Hawks are in the playoffs amd something goes against the Hawks? I guarentee I get at least 1-2 warnings, or it's not an effective hawks loss.

i only saw one person write the team off for the playoffs... and he wasnt even in the game thread until that post

True, but a lot of "expletives" to go along with "Khabibulin sucks" equals overreacting at its finest.

i said khabibulin sucks again, which he has since he came back. and how is an expletive after you blow a late lead overreacting? it's called reacting

I didn't blame the Bulin wall for this... I cried more about Soupy.

which is where my "how long does khabibulin get a free pass on here?" comments come from. khabi has been awful since he came back and was awful again tonight, yet nobody criticizes him. if it was huet playing tonight and had the same performance there would be at least 10 posts whining about him

2 points is 2 points!!! Doesn't matter to us that SJ got another point out of it... It only matters to them & the Red Wings...

 

ITS YALMARSSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you're just being a jackass!!! :D :D

Wow, and you're being too kind... :-D

[Cynosure]

Damn I couldn't come on here this morning with all the doom and gloom season over posts!

[kujay]

Let's look forward.

 

Vancouver is visiting St. Louis tonight. The Blues are playing really well but got shut out by Vancouver up in BC last week. Let's go Blues!

 

Pat and Eddie talked a lot last night about Sunday's game against Vancouver, but I hope the guys are focused on the Devils. We already know what will happen if they aren't.

[kujay]

BTW, Cyno, ESPN has the Hawks at 39-22-11, not 12, for 89 points.

Odds are they are going to lose to NJ whether they are focused or not. A point would be nice though.

True. I thought Cyno might have blown a gasket there for a bit. I love the emotion of sports though, I think it's great. Can't understand why others hate it so much. But that's just me.

[Cynosure]

HEY NOW!

 

The Hawks deserved my anger!

 

This is more like a Cubs game in late August... choking down the stretch is much harder to tolerate than choking early in the season.

 

I apologize in advance to everyone for my antics that are surely to come during the playoffs, hahahaha... I'll try to keep it PG-13... TRY.

[Soul]

Nah, I like it. You've made this thread far more interesting to me.

[kujay]

Yeah, we need to have the guy who goes insane. I've managed to keep an even keel for most of the season. I think it's because through it all, I'm just so happy that the Hawks are relevant again.

 

But the playoffs are different. In 2002 I thought my roommate was going to kill me for cursing Brent Johnson at the top of my lungs.

Some interesting quotes in Rozner's column today:

A lukewarm endorsement of DT?

Kind of backs up what redivycub says about him being a douchebag. He's all talk and show, with the no-casual dress nonsense. He is smart to say nobody is happy with where they are and that they are on their own 2 yard line, but it's all talk. Its smart marketing man talk, but it's largely meaningless.
