Re: 2009 Chicago Blackhawks

Yeah they coasted for awhile but the last penalty kill was good, and the D looked solid in the final minutes to seal it.

 

That'll work. Points at home.

[kujay]

Tonight will be a good test.

 

San Jose beat the Blues here last night. Hopefully they'll be a little slow out there.

 

Would absolutely love two more points before the trip. Right now they've played 12 home games and 6 road games. About to even out.

Hey, hey! Sopel!

 

Way to not be totally worthless, buddy!

[UMFan83]

Wow Sopel did something??

Wow Sopel did something??

 

The Sharks announcers keep calling him a "Shark killer." I've always thought he was just a Blackhawks killer.

[kujay]

It's odd to be playing teams with skill players as good as our skill players. Heatley is incredible.

 

But that was a bad giveaway by Keith.

[kujay]

Oh, for Christ's sake. This is criminal.

 

Eager was standing in front of the net after a save. Murray came up and jabbed him hard. Then drop 'em and fight, and Eager gets the instigator? NHL officiating is a [expletive] joke.

 

EDIT: And 30 seconds later it's 2-1 Sharks. That one's on the zebras.

 

EDIT 2x: And now Huet decided to suck again. [expletive] [expletive].

[brinoch]

Crappy officiating.

[kujay]

Crappy officiating.

 

And it just got worse. I'm still pissed about that instigator call on Eager. There would have been no altercation at all, NOTHING, if Murray hadn't come in and cross-checked Eager.

[kujay]

What a rush that was! KANE!

[brinoch]

Kane hit the crossbar... sooo close.

[kujay]

If that puck went in the net, shame on Huet. That's awful.

 

EDIT: I think we're going to luck out again because it won't be conclusive.

[UMFan83]

Grrr...

 

I feel like there is something lacking on this team, or maybe they just aren't hitting their stride. I would say getting Hossa would help, but I'm not seeing too many problems on offense.

[brinoch]

If that puck went in the net, shame on Huet. That's awful.

I think you're right. Doesn't look conclusive.

Ahhh, I don't know. San Jose TV just showed the super close up. Looks like a goal.

[kujay]

Whew. Dodged a bullet there.

[brinoch]

The last view was good, and Toronto made a good call there.

[kujay]

Ohhh I cannot believe Seabrook didn't bury that one. Like the pressure.

[brinoch]

A crossbar for San Jose... balancing out Kane's... good hockey both ways the last few minutes.

[kujay]

Hell yeah game on! Great follow up.

 

I heart John Madden.

[brinoch]

4 PP for Sharks. 1 for Hawks. BS.

[kujay]

Great PK.

[brinoch]

Great PK.

 

Last 30 seconds were great. They didn't even let them into the zone.

[kujay]

Just want to see the offense pick up again. Great rush by Brouwer.

[kujay]

I swear Kane has that thing on a string sometimes. Amazing.
