Re: 2009 Chicago Blackhawks

HAHAHAHAHA! Eat that, SJ. Guess they didn't want to wait until the playoffs to choke in a big game this year.

 

No kidding. From earlier commentary in the thread... I agree that San Jose is basically a one line team. If you can control Thornton/Marleau/Heatley, you can beat this team. Take a look at their goal scoring -- 47% of their total goals (including d-men goals) come from that line: 44 to 39. That's not good.

 

Right. But here's the scary part. Given those stats, you'd think it would be 2/7 constantly out there against that line. But it hasn't been. I was shocked a few times to see Q put 4/5 out there to start a PK against them. And they shut it down! Sopel? Yeah! Even he is getting it done.

 

This team is scary good right now.

[brinoch]

7-0.

 

 

Muahahahaha!

[UMFan83]

The XP is good!

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh another goal? yawn.

[Hall7810]

Not only does he win each draw, but he scores too!

[kujay]

how [expletive] awesome would it be to go undefeated on the circus trip?

 

I can't see us losing to Anaheim, but LA might be a tough one, but they could easily win them both.

 

At this point, it's just like last year when they started the trip 3-0. Everything after that gets to be gravy. Win one of the next two and it's a massive success. Win both? I wish I could be at the UC on Tuesday when they hit the ice.

 

HAHAHA! Foley: "Hawks add the extra point!"

[Magnetic Curses]

remember, this has nothing to do with the blackhawks. it's just that san jose is playing crappy.

[kujay]

I suppose it's worth nothing that the Hawks have outscored the Bears when they played in the Bay Area a few weeks ago.

[17 Seconds]

by the way, the hawks just jumped way ahead of san jose for best goal differential in the nhl. before tonight the hawks were +21 and the sharks were +23. right now the hawks are +28 with the sharks all the way down to +16.

 

pretty awesome

It is. And I have to say, Hjalmarsson is *very* good. He makes up for a lot of Campbell's mistakes, but he's looked very solid, too.

[bukie]

Hawks still need another 5 to tie for the worst loss in Sharks history. :)

[kujay]

I don't mean to nitpick, but that's not a penalty.

 

EDIT: Okay, the second one was. The refs are going to cost Huet his SO.

I looked all the way back to the 02-03 season, and in that time frame the Sharks had not lost a game by 7 goals.

[Butterscup1679666578]

aw man i dont wanna give up the shutout.

[bukie]

I looked all the way back to the 02-03 season, and in that time frame the Sharks had not lost a game by 7 goals.

They lost 8-0 to Phoenix in 06-07.

 

EDIT: And back in 1992-93, they lost 13-1 to Calgary.

[17 Seconds]

those must be the real sharks.

[UMFan83]

Dammit, I thought the Hawks were gonna kill that 5-on-3

[kujay]

Well Huet put up a good fight, but that was bound to happen.

[Butterscup1679666578]

lame.

[kujay]

Uh-oh, the comeback is on!

[17 Seconds]

Damn, I must have missed that one.

 

Moot point now...Sharks on the comeback trail haha

[kujay]

These idiot fans are cheering a rush. I have absolutely no respect for these fans.

 

Their booing of Campbell is embarassingly stupid.
