Re: 2009 Chicago Blackhawks

That said about the Ovie hit, now that we know Campbell isn't coming back, it seems more fair that they lost their guy too. Not equating the two, obviously.

 

Bruce Boudreau should try a little more coaching and a little less whining.

 

Down Johnsson and now Campbell. Too much PT for Hendry/Sopel the rest of the way. Yikes.

[kujay]

Seems like Theodore should have had that one.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I can't disagree with that. Who do you think should be the #1 the rest of the way?

 

Niemi, without question.

 

Without question? Seriously? That's ridiculous.

I see no reason to think Huet can get it done. Niemi is a better goalie right now and deserves the chance.

I can't blame him for arguing for his best player to not be ejected. Fro a purely hockey fan perspective, this game became less interesting once Ovechkin was kicked out.

 

I would expect Q to at least put forth an argument if it was a Blackhawk.

[kujay]

Holy cow, Niemi. That was pretty lucky.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I see no reason to think Niemi can get it done. They've had virtually identical seasons: A couple months of awesome and a couple months of awful, at the exact same times.

 

If Niemi were the overpaid veteran and Huet were the shiny-new-toy rookie, I suspect opinions would be reversed.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

One more solid period and Niemi earns the next start or two.

[Soul]

Good to see the Hawks come back strong after yesterday's late disappointment. Now they just need to seal the deal.

[UMFan83]

Horrible break. Of course they score with like 5 seconds left on the first PP. Now we have 2 minutes of 5 on 3. So it's probably gonna be 3-2 in a second.

[kujay]

This is not good.

 

Great first save. Bad defensive clearing.

 

If there was a delayed call, why are they still getting a penalty?

[kujay]

WHAT A SAVE!

[bcl412]

Niemi is showing he wants the starting spot.

[UMFan83]

This is not good.

Doesn't the goal just end the first penalty, which had like 5 seconds left on it? You can't take away the first penalty and the delayed penalty with a goal.

Yeah, my bad.

[kujay]

What a terrible break.

[UMFan83]

Of course they score just as the 5 on 3 is ending.

 

[expletive] my life. The Blackhawks have the worst [expletive] luck. Instead of retaking all the momentum from the Caps, the Caps are now completely owning the momentum.

[kujay]

You gotta be kidding me.

[UMFan83]

And now it's tied

 

WHAT THE [expletive]?

 

Why do we always [expletive] collapse?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

DOOM DOOM DOOM ANGST DOOOOOM!

[bcl412]

Epic meltdowns two weeks in a row on national tv.

[Soul]

Crap! I spoke too soon!!

 

Crapity Crap Crap!

[UMFan83]

The Caps were [expletive] sleepwalking through this entire game showing no interest in winning the game. Then they try for 5 minutes, catch 2 ridiculous breaks and score 3 goals and tie it.

[UMFan83]

I don't know how any casual hockey fan could watch the Hawks the last 2 weeks and think they are Cup contenders.

[kujay]

How great would it be if Buff showed up to play?
