[Magnetic Curses]

Ok I like you again username

If I'm reading this right, we could break the record and clinch a playoff spot on the same night.

There is as much distance in the standings between the Hawks and third as there is in the East between first and last.

hehe, love that.

[kujay]

Yeah that's awesome.

 

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday. Rozsival played a great game. He had one mishap in the defensive zone that led to a turnover, but he's actually got pretty good hands and made some nice plays in the offensive zone.

[Banedon]

LOL....apparently Stephen A Smith was on the teevee yelling about how the Blackhawks have 3 ties so that the streak doesn't count.

@stevelepore

 

The Blackhawks dramatic win to keep the streak alive drew a 1.6 overnight, best ever for a single game on NBC sbn.to/15tvfVR

Here's the vid.

Yeah, I know. I feel like there are plenty of local Chicago guys who couldn't explain the NHL point system too, though.

Well ok, but I think most of them know that the NHL doesn't have ties.

God I hate Stephen A.

Alright now, it's time for the Top 5. Why 5? 'Cause 10 would make the Man nervous. Tonight's the Top 5 Reasons Brothers don't play hockey. Reason #5: It's cold out there; Reason #4: They scared to get their gold tooth knocked out; Reason #3: Don't want to be around white guys with sticks; Reason #2: Don't want to be around a white guy with a mask; and the #1 Reason Black Guys Don't Play Hockey: Don't feel the need to dominate yet another sport. And that's the Top 5 - that's all I could get from Whitey at this time.

yeah, he's been solid. his problem is he plays on such a fast, skilled team that he goes unnoticed, except when you notice that he's slower than a lot of the team

Pretty much. He showed some smooth hands yesterday it just surprised me. But I heard an opposing announcer refer to him as an offensive defenseman the other day and it surprised me. Figured it was because he's not all that great of a defensive defenseman.

haha, yeah, he is probably damned by faint praise quite a bit. not sure if you caught it, but during one of those intermission coach interviews a few games back, mike kitchen was answering a question about rozsival and how they were pleased with his performance, and that "he understands his limitations". lol

if there is a game tonight, i was thinking it might be cancelled if this storm is bad enough

4-6"? The storm doesn't look like it should be that bad for Chicago standards.

@espnSteveLevy

SAYS THE GUY IN CALIFORNIA

 

i've been operating on the warning, which states 4-8, up to 10. if it stays on the low end, you're right, not too bad. but if it starts getting up there, rescheduling for the safety of the driving spectators might be prudent. i would think it would have to be pretty bad for that to happen though, condensed schedule and such

The high end was based on accumulation starting yesterday, though now that I'm perusing the NWS Chicago web site, it still looks like 6-10" is possible in most areas. In summary, don't mind me.
