Ladd makes it 1-0 exactly 3 seconds after I turn it on.

PATRICK SHARP

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Giveaway to Kane in the offensive zone, finds Sharp wide open in front of the net and Sharp shoots (get it) into the corner.

 

2-0 a couple minutes in

1 - 2:35 - Sharp scores (19), assisted by Kane (24).

 

Hawks lead 2-0.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If this team is this hot when the playoffs come around, they are going deep. Really deep.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Blackhawks steal 25 seconds of good 6-on-5 and darn near make it 3-0 on a delayed penalty.

 

These guys look *awesome* on home ice and fresh legs.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

2-1 :(

[Cynosure]

FLYERS GOAL

 

1 - 7:42 - Richards scores (15), assisted by Asham (3) and Carter (15).

 

Hawks lead 2-1.

I am pondering making an emotional investment in the Blackhawks again. I've never been a huge hockey fan but I enjoyed the teams of the early 90's with Roenick and Belfour.

[Cynosure]

Holy crap, with any lucky bounces Havlat could ALREADY be near a hat trick... jeez does he look good tonight.

[Cynosure]

Freakin Havlat AGAIN! :shock:

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Second power play looking much better than first. I love how unafraid to shoot Sharp is.

If nothing else, this team is fun. Very near the highest scoring in the league.

They WERE the highest scoring team in the league before the 5 day layoff, so we'll see after today :)

Interesting.

 

What was difficult for me was that growing up at home with parents, they had no cable or dish. So when the Blackhawks were good, I hardly ever got to see them play. I'd catch some games on the radio, that was about it. By the time I got to college and had cable for the first time, the franchise had started to swirl down the drain. :banghead:

 

I do enjoy some NHL playoff hockey but man, every year I think "it sure would be nice if the Hawks had a team again". Well here it is I guess! And now I have HD channels on the dish, perfect. I just tuned in this game. \:D/

[Cynosure]

Sosa, you tuned in on a good game.

 

The Flyers and Blackhawks have been the # 1 & 2 teams so far in December... both incredibly entertaining to watch.

 

Be sure to tune in on the 30th when we're in Detroit, then we all know what happens on the 1st!

[Sosa21MVP]

Nice rush by Havlat. Dang.

[Sosa21MVP]

When I see #10 I think of Tony Amonte. :-))

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Biron recovering nicely from those two early goals.

[Cynosure]

Biron looks really good tonight, didn't realize how fast of a stick he is.

[Sosa21MVP]

They are putting a lot of pressure on Biron's net, yes.

[Cynosure]

Holy freaking crap are the Hawks getting hosed on these nice chances... it could EASILY be 6-1 right now. Can't wait til karma starts catching up with us :)

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Not a fight fan, but that one was good. Both guys stunned the other.
