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

[Cynosure]

Refs giving us a chance... we NEED to take advantage on the 5 v 3... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMEDIATLEY

[Cynosure]

Wow this PP is embarrassing!

 

STOP [expletive] PASSING!

[manbearcub]

we are afraid to shoot on the PP...ugh.

[kujay]

Good pressure, but man. They need to cash these in.

[Cynosure]

Not going to be overly critical on the refs here since we are the ones who can't capitalize on the PP. But it looked pretty clear Havlat was hooked again driving to the net then someone's stick was slashed shortly after. Oh well :(

[Cynosure]

"BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG SAAAAVE Khabibulin!"

[Cynosure]

Someone needs to drop the gloves... Hawks are wayyyy too stagnant and need some sort of energy boost. 4 freaking shots in 15 minutes.

[kujay]

Bad defense right now. Too much open ice for Canucks.

[kujay]

That was pretty. I thought Marty had roofed it.

[Cynosure]

Ugh... should be ANOTHER goal/point for Havlat! Nice save by Luongo!

 

DAMMIT!

[Cynosure]

[kujay]

I don't know how many chances these guys are going to get tonight with this effort.

 

And as I type this, the Toews line had a good shift.

[Cynosure]

Ballgame... hate to say it but the Hawks look AWFFFFFFFFFFFFUL.

[Cynosure]

Smooth Burish... my [expletive] God.

 

EDIT: Byfuglien

[kujay]

This is pretty embarassing. All the newspapers wrote about the Hawks talking about this game at practice yesterday like it was the game of the year. And this is how they come out.

 

This isn't one of those stupid "this team sucks" posts, but this doesn't bode well for how this team will react come playoff time. And against this team, not coincidentally.

[kujay]

Haha, Eager pretty transparent in his efforts to start some [expletive] where there wasn't any. At least he stopped before he got a penalty.

[kujay]

What in the hell was Keith doing there? After the first few whacks, what did he think was going to happen?

 

Just [expletive] stupid. He's been awful tonight.

[kujay]

Cyno, I put up a link to the Oshie hit (today's version) over in the NHL thread.

 

How many great chances have the Hawks had tonight? Another one there for Havlat. And another for Sharp.

 

I don't get the feeling Luongo is playing that well. The Hawks are just pissing themselves when they have the puck in scoring position.

hawks win this one 3-2 on an ot goal from toews

[kujay]

hawks win this one 3-2 on an ot goal from toews

 

Yeah, no.

 

This one is over.

[Cynosure]

About to turn off the game early for the first time this season... I have been [expletive] falling asleep the whole time.

 

No [expletive] joke every damn game I get excited for and am pumped all day... the Hawks [expletive] blow dicks... I'm done.

 

No it's not SEASON OVER or anything like that... just hate every big game the Hawks look like [expletive].

[Cynosure]

Nevermind I'll stick around to watch the Hawks hopefully end someone's career.

[kujay]

Did Buff just punch Lu in the face?

 

Yes, yes he did.

 

Wow.

[Cynosure]

Bieksa will be ejected

 

No fight ties!

[kujay]

HOLY [expletive] MADNESS!
