[17 Seconds]

when they were in the box keith was yelling "tomorrow" at erat. looks like they'll get it on in chicago tomorrow

[Cynosure]

Hawks played like [expletive] and got no breaks, either. Can't complain because they've gotten all the breaks for the last month and a half and were due for a run like this.

 

I can't wait for tomorrow... it's going to be so chippy.

[kujay]

I didn't get a chance to watch last night's game yet? Should we expect a chippy game tonight?

Oh yes.... Sharp got CRUSHED 3 times... Kane also had a semi-run made at him.

 

Keith and Erat were going at it in a scrum and were screaming at eachother on the way to the penalty box... You could see Keith say "We're going tomorrow f***er.... TOMORROW"...

[Cynosure]

And Kane gets RAPED and no one sticks up for him... man...

It was just a good open-ice check. No reason for funny stuff after a hit like that.

The hit was completely clean, I'm not arguing that. But this has been going on the past few games... and no one sticks up for Sharp or Kane.

 

Sharp's a big boy and should stick up for himself... but some of those hits yesterday really rattled him.

 

The other teams know they can hit our super star and top goal scorer hard (either dirty or not) and get away with it... so it's been happening more often.

[kujay]

Buff with the rocket! Beautiful!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Nice to get off to a good start.

[kujay]

There's been about 7 hits for the Hawks in the last minute. Love it.

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

1 - 9:11 (PP) - Byfuglien scores (9), assisted by Seabrook (8) and Keith (19).

Hits are overrated. Keep the puck out of the net :)

[Cynosure]

PREDATORS GOAL

 

1 - 11:03 - Erat scores (11), assisted by Tootoo (4) and Legwand (13).

 

Tie game 1-1.

[cubswin2009]

Seabrook and Keith keep getting beat.

[kujay]

They've had a bunch of point-blank chances, but it seems like they are doing a lot of reacting in the defensive zone instead of anticipating. Still, not a bad period.

Dude, you should have seen last night's game.

 

Sharp had 2 wide open nets and 2 other chances that were really really good ones. Hawks just have "karma" catching up with them. I knew it couldn't last forever... but man are they getting EVERY bad break!

 

On another note... wow did Seabrook mug Erat in front of the net. I counted:

 

3 Cross Checks

1 Slash

2 Elbows (one knocking his helmet around)

 

Gotta love it!

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

2 - 5:58 - Bolland scores (8), assisted by Ladd (18) and Havlat (22).

 

Hawks lead 2-1.

Kane being a pansy again...I hate to say it, but I'm kind of starting not to like him. He takes a shot at the guy and then backs away and wants nothing of it.

You didn't see yesterday's game either, though. Kane had a nice run made on him and got drilled another time (completely clean). None of his teammates want to stick up for him... so you gotta take matters into your own hands.

 

I wasn't the biggest guy on the ice in high school, but I knew my teammates had my back.

I know he's not the biggest guy, but I guess what irks me is that he takes a perfectly clean hit right at the end of the period, and gives the guy a jab in the back of the head. Okay fine, I guess that's no big deal. The guy responds and he backs off. I'm not saying he needs to drop the gloves, but if he showed a bit more heart in there perhaps his teammates would be more willing to stir it up on his behalf.

HAWKS WIN

 

3 - 19:50 (EN) - Havlat scores (12), assisted by Keith (20).

 

Hawks win 3-1.

[kujay]

It wasn't pretty, but it counts the same in the standings. Nice win.

You're sure right about how "unpretty" it was.

 

But I guess I'll take these 2 points and not complain!

Went to the game last night...First off sat about 20 rows in front of Butkus...Man was that cool he got a standing out from everyone in the stadium...Besides that though very big win and Byfuglien had a nice slap shot goal

This is me jealous.

 

But I am going to be at the game here on Saturday. And to top it off, the wife (that's going to take some getting used to) got me a pretty sweet wedding gift: an authentic Bobby Hull home sweater. Even has the "A" on the front and the "fight strap" on the back. So I'll be sporting that one Saturday night. \:D/
