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

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Vancouver scores in OT to win their division.

 

We are officially getting the Flames, so beat up that they can't field a full roster, losers of like 11 of their last 17, whom we went 4-0 with three blowouts against in the regular season.

 

It's all set up a little too well for the Hawks in the first round. Now I'm nervous.

I was going to be nervous no matter what, but yeah, playing a team with their backs against the wall is scary.

[Garwilly]

How are their back anymore "to the wall" than any other team? Everyone's are in the playoffs.

I meant that they are playing short-handed and have been sliding badly lately.

It was shirt off the back night for the Ice Hogs... awesome promotion!

 

Were you there last night? Awesome atmosphere last night, and a huge win for the Hogs. If you were there, I'm regretful that we didn't have the chance to discuss the proper pronunciation of the Hawks #4 over a cold one! :D

No, I had tickets but ended up getting sick... wish I could have gone. I watched the game on the AHL website to see Beach and Aliu play.

 

EDIT: I expect a nice showing in this GDT to get the Hawks thread past 200 pages ;)

[Cynosure]

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BCL!!!!!

[Cynosure]

Real thing I'm rooting for today, Havlat's 30th.

[Cynosure]

I wish Q would have sat Kane and Havlat today, just doesn't seem worth it to have them play.

[Cynosure]

WHAT A PASS!!!

HAWKS GOAL

 

1 - 7:29 - Ladd scores (15), assisted by Seabrook (18) and Byfuglien (16).

 

Hawks lead 1-0.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

15 goals seems a little low from Ladd. I expected a bit more, not that he's been bad.

[CubInOK]

Toews makes it 2-0!!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Nice job by Kane to keep control as he lost his feet, then Toews just does his thing.

[kujay]

He shoots he scores! Toews!

 

And how about Seabrook giving Datsyuk some serious business a minute ago. Love it.

Apparently it's a career high. Surprised me to hear that.

 

On a side note, NBC here shows Cards games on Sundays. That means NBC's regular programming, whatever it may be (golf, hockey, whatever) gets bumped. They are showing the game on some UHF channel here. Not only is it not HD, it's the worst SD I've ever seen.

HAWKS GOAL

 

1 - 11:29 - Toews scores (34), assisted by Kane (45) and Havlat (48).

 

Hawks lead 2-0

[Cynosure]

Ughhhhh Burish!

 

2 for slashing.

[kujay]

And let me just say I love hearing Harvey Wittenberg on the PA. I know I've said it before, but his droll voice is part of my childhood hockey memories.

[Cynosure]

HOLY [expletive]...

 

He just made like 8 saves there!

 

CLEAR THE PUCK HAWKS!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I can't wait to see him in the playoffs. Can. Not. Wait. That was awesome.

7 saves during that PK!

[kujay]

Khabi is getting himself into playoff form just in time.

[Cynosure]

Come on now refs, it's the last game of the season. At least take your blinders off and call some [expletive] calls on the Wings.

[Cynosure]

PK looks possessed today.
