Re: 2009 Chicago Blackhawks

Alright Bickell!

 

Nice job by Kane waiting for Campbell, and then Campbell taking it hard to the net.

 

Nice work all around.

How sick would it be to start the circus trip 3-0 again? Wow. I was pretty sure they were going to drop this one. Of course they still might...

I'll be happy if we can get 1 out of this, but hopefully we can keep this lead

Man, Vancouver charges a per-game PPV fee to watch certain games. $13, or $16 for HD.

 

Guess it's like the old Hawk Vision that Wirtz used to do.

 

I'll bet Vancouver gets a lot of buys though.

Niemi is playing a hell of a game.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Niemi is playing completely out of his mind tonight. So awesome.

[kujay]

That should probably be the last shift of the game for the checking line. That was rough.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Didn't we struggle a lot on face offs last year? We've been pretty awesome on them this year it seems.

Yeah Madden has been a huge help in that area and Toews has improved immensely.

[kujay]

This has been a really well-played defensive game. The Hawks have been outshot by quite a bit, but it almost seems by design. That wasn't the game they wanted to play after playing last night.

 

If they pull this off, it's impressive. They can win 7-1, they can win 1-0. Outstanding.

[Butterscup1679666578]

wow what the hell happened. this is insane.

[kujay]

Incredible.

 

Amazing game by Niemi.

 

Take a few days off now before tangling with San Jose again on Wednesday.

[bukie]

Tonight's win actually puts the Hawks first in the NHL in points per game. Sure, they're 4 shy of SJ overall, but they've played 3 fewer games, and are slightly ahead of the Sharks on a per-game basis.

[brinoch]

Great game. What am I saying... awesome game. Very disciplined, stayed home and played the right way for the second leg of a back-to-back. Niemi was unbelievable.

[17 Seconds]

best record in the nhl and they haven't even gotten their best player back

 

pretty frightening

[jersey cubs fan]

thank god for the Blackhawks

[Soul]

Yeah. I really don't want to, but I might have to shell out for that NHL package so I don't miss games like last night's.

[HenryBlanco]

Niemi was GREAT last night. Nice to see the Blackhawks come out an grind one out on the road after a solid beat down the day before.

[Soul]

Also, from what I understand, Hossa's return is imminent.

 

This team is the entirety of Chicago sports right now.

[kujay]

It's really money well spent. I may regret very much paying for Sunday Ticket (though it is great for fantasy), but Center Ice has been excellent. Get to watch/listen to Pat and Eddie most every game, almost all games in HD.

I loved how during the playoffs last year the sports radio stations were all Hawks all the time. I wonder how long it will take for that to happen this year. I know it's still early in the regular season, but you're right. They are the only show in town at this point.

[kujay]

I know it doesn't mean anything, but still pretty cool to see. #1 in power rankings on ESPN:

Foley said he'll be in action on Wednesday. Can't wait.

Going to have a house full of people by 9:30 on Wednesday for the holiday, but thankfully a few of them are Hawks fans so we'll be commandeering a TV to watch this one. It was going to be a must-see even without Hossa coming back.

[kujay]

More evidence that Hossa will suit up on Wednesday. Bickell back to Rockford. Tough break for him, but he'll be back after some trades, I think.
