    Wow, thought the Wings would take game 2 and now this.

    Meek - blind squirrel finds nut

    That's what happens when you've got a SS who can't range more than a foot to his right or left, even had he got to that ball, noodle arm would have never been able to throw Jones out.

    Thanks alot Theriot.

    Hossa was fantastic in the third, shortly before the Versteeg goal poke checks the puck away at center leading to another Sharp chance. On the PK, takes the puck away nearly scores and leads to another scoring chance, even every one's favorite whipping boy Keith made some good plays in the 3rd.

    Without question the Hawks dominated this game from 3/4 of 2nd period on, if they were able to finish they'd had 5+ goals.

    Given how terrible he looked, I too thought we'd never see this again, it's a pleasant surprise.

    Pheonix was rather flat tonight and honestly they played above their heads all year and it was just a matter of time before they gave out...I am not sure that San Jose, Chicago, or Vancouver could be dominated like that even if they were flat. Question for those who watched the game...when Fiddler scored on the face-off, did that puck touch the ice or did he hit it out of the air as it was dropped? It appeared to me Fiddler timed it perfectly, as soon as the puck hit the ice he wacked it between Datsuyk and Howard' legs. The Wings were amazing last night, third period was a throw away however, by then, the Coyotes had clearly given up.

    Just out of curiousity has anyone checked out Predators messages boards? Are they claiming Nashville is still better than the Hawks and whinning about Hossa not being suspended? If I was a Preds fan I'd been pretty pissed about my team giving up a short handed goal and failing to capitalize on a 4 minute PP to start OT.

    I think the Hawks adjustments after game 3 did Nashville in, they began to make their defensemen turn the backs in the nuetral zone. More dumping and chasing instead of letting Nashville stand them up at center ice. They also began to get more traffic in front of Rinne unlike the first 3 games.
  11. gflore34
    I don't know about that. Rinne has been pretty good. But I have come around 100% to putting Buff back in on forward and parking him in front of the net. Yes, Hendry and Sopel are bad, but we need Buff causing trouble for Rinne more. The Hawks have been pretty easy on him though, it's hard to say he's hot.
  12. gflore34
    Hawks need to punch back tonight or, perhaps, do the punching. There's been too much of the Predators pushing the Hawks around and them taking it. I don't believe one can say Pekka is hot ethier truth is, he hasn't had to do much, seen every shot, no traffic in front of the net. Let's see how hot he is when he cannot see every shot.

    Its automatic, get runners on the corners, one out, next two K.
  14. gflore34
    ? He had 9 K's last night. Also; I don't agree with this move either. But your logic is flawed. You think so? How many times have we seen see Z start the game unable to throw a strike? He's come out issuing BB's before, except this time he'll have little to no margin for error.
  15. gflore34
    Aram has struck out more than Soriano - I'd be embrassed.
  16. gflore34
    The primary problem with the bullpen is no one can throw strikes, so, in response, you move Zambrano, who couldn't throw strikes if his life depended on it, to the pen. That computes.
  17. gflore34
    Too much extra passing, looking for the perfect goal. As Olcyzck mentioned, dump and chase, it's not pretty but, Nashviile' going to keep clogging up the nuetral zone.
  18. gflore34
    loss
  19. gflore34
    The half season of Ramirez hurts, Byrd will play approximately as well as Bradley (less on base but more slugging, given his career numbers) but I'm not convinced we'll get anything better out of Zambrano or Harden's replacement(s) or even Soto this year So whats the big difference between this year and last year? Less Bobby Scales? Ok, peg us for a few extra wins on top of the 83 mark then Then go ahead and subtract a few more for a slightly worse bullpen and a month less of Lilly The big difference is we got older. Plus some of our guys are aging badly, Soriano. We will look better when Ramirez starts hitting, assuming he does. The thing that bothers me is I really don't think that the Cardinals are that good. They have two pitchers, one being held together by band aids one elite hitter and then one very good hitter. Why does it seem like they always overachieve and we always underachieve? I don't get that either, simply amazing that anyone they pick up off the waiver wire and throw in the bullpen becomes Mariano Rivera.
  20. gflore34
    This is a bad, bad baseball team, there's nothing to point out and say - it's going to improve. The bullpen as is will continue to walk the world, Zambrano as well, it's pretty discouraging.
  21. gflore34
    I kind of expect the Predators not knowing what hits them on Sunday. I think the Predator will see how outclass, talent wise, they truly are in this series. They're in for a hard dose of reality Sunday, in the long run this loss may turn out to be a good thing.
  22. gflore34
    I attribute this lose more to luck than anything else, the Hawks are far superior to Nashville, luck will not win this series.
  23. gflore34
    The Cubs have got to be leading all of baseball in infield singles given up.
  24. gflore34
    Thought Len was a little over the top with his Cardinals are stacked rhetoric, has he taken a close look at their pitching staff? It's pretty damn far from stacked.
  25. gflore34
    The leash on Soriano has got to be shorter than a month, you just can't afford to keep playing a LF who can't catch the ball.
