everything is fine, good night.

 

For the record, the answer is "probably not"

[17 Seconds]

I would have preferred a regulation win, but anytime you can come out of the so called "Shark Tank" with 2 points, it's a positive trip.

 

Does that make it 5-2 on this trip with 1 to play?

 

yup, and i would have been content with 5-3. if they handle business against carolina they'll go 6-2, which is pretty fuckin badass

[RedFlash]

Patience is an ally, my friends.

 

Walking out with a win from San Jose........no matter the circumstance...............is always a good thing. :D

It's nuts because the Hawks certainly haven't played their best hockey on this trip. But 6-2 says otherwise.

i have a feeling that after the break they're going to come back refreshed and return to their dominant ways

[17 Seconds]

also, wins like these (on the road against a good team, blowing a big early lead) are big confidence builders. the sharks beat us up pretty badly for most of the game tonight, but the hawks found a way to sack up at the end and get the W

Sorry. I should have clarified. I meant the answer to your original post in this thread tonight.

[UMFan83]

Do you guys realize that San Jose was 16-2-1 in the previous 19 games before tonight?

[Magnetic Curses]

ah, i see.

One more stat...

 

 

over the last 2 seasons the Sharks are an awesome 50-9-11 at home...only 9 regulation losses in 70 total games. And during that time frame, the Sharks are 0-2-2 against the Hawks in San Jose.

[17 Seconds]

also, the hawks have now played an equal amount of road/home games, so people can no longer say our record is inflated by a lot of home game

over the last 2 seasons the Sharks are an awesome 50-9-11 at home...only 9 regulation losses in 70 total games. And during that time frame, the Sharks are 0-2-2 against the Hawks in San Jose.

 

so the hawks have accounted for 20% of the sharks home losses over the past season and a half, and they aren't even in the same division.

 

pretty awesome

Byfuglien is the Larry Biittner of the Blackhawks.

The Sharks have trouble beating us. That's what makes me happy.

[Old Style]

I'd like to thank Dish Network for adding the NHL Network to my package sometime here recently without my knowledge. I enjoyed watching the game last night. Although it did make for a late night.

i wish i could see highlights of the game with the calls from pat and eddie

This. The Sharks announcers weren't bad last night, but nothing beats hearing Foley bellow "HAWKS WIN!"

[jersey cubs fan]

I didn't realize the Blackhawks had a 17 point lead in the division and are the only team with a positive goal differential.

Hey I am supposed to be saying that about my team!! Hawks are very good, rest of division..not so much

[bukie]

Yeah, I expect Detroit to make a run and get back into the playoff picture, but everybody besides the Hawks are struggling the past month.

Happy realizations like this one are great fun.

Good breakdown from Sassone of the scoring depth on the road trip:

Interesting that only Madden and Sopel are without points on trip. Sopel was no shocker, but I didn't realize that about Madden.

[Soul]

Another great thing is how this team has rebounded from a couple pretty shaky losses to win again -- and on the road. They didn't have to return to the United Center to turn it around.
