  1. Didn't we have the same thing happen with the home-and-home with the Wings last year? The one including the WC game? I recall we were closing in on them and they just slammed the door in our face. That must be how Nashville feels. Look, they're a scrappy team. But they are like nearly every other team in the league. Seriously outmatched against the Hawks and needing to play a great game to stay close and have a chance to win. Looks like I'm going to miss Tuesday's game on account of work, but really looking forward to that NJ game.
  2. Hahahaha, have fun fighting with the Wangs for second place, hillbillies.
  3. KANE!
  4. How spoiled are we? Absolute shocked this team blew this lead. :)
  5. Well, this is an odd game. Bad clears by the defense.
  6. What a save by Niemi with the left pad. Wow!
  7. Haha, flipped the switch and opened the floodgates! Nice shot Campbell. And what a game by Madden. Two goals and just drew that penalty.
  8. WTG Madden! What the hell were the Nashville blueliners doing?
  9. Pretty non-descript 1st period. It's clear there is no way Nashville can skate with the Hawks. Problem is the Hawks know this and are getting too cute in the offensive zone.
  10. Best case for Niemi, he keeps up this level of play and gets an offer sheet in the order of $9M/3 years. Something like that. Unless something crazy happens and he plays most of the games down the stretch and the playoffs, there is no way he gets an offer from anyone approaching what Huet is making. But I agree that if the status quo remains, some team probably will offer Niemi more than we can pay him. So yes, that would necessitate a quick move of Huet in the offseason.
  11. Detroit came out flying and hitting a lot in the first, but they just couldn't get anything past Niemi. And then the offense finally reminded Jimmy Howard that he's no Dominator.
  12. What a great game by Niemi. He was exceptional in fighting through screens and finding the puck during scrums. He carried the team until the offense finally found a way to break through. And the defense -- I guess I don't realize how good they are because I marvel at the offensive zone dominance. But that starts with the defensive side. Detroit gave their absolute best shot in the first 30 minutes of that game and couldn't get anything done. After that we just wore them down and the difference in speed and talent won out again. Now an interesting home-and-home with Nashville this weekend. I, and I know I'm not alone, think the Preds are playing way over their heads. We'll see where they stack up on Saturday.
  13. 21 shots in the 3rd. Jesus. One of those nights, it sounds like. Go thump Detroit again tomorrow night and I'll be over this one quickly.
  14. Is Huet letting in soft ones? I'd imagine based on the lack of shots SJ is getting. I hate Vs. and Directv, by the way.
  15. holy crap what pathetic thing to admit. It's one thing to think that but to say it outload to the media makes you look P Get that piece of [expletive] off this team. What a joke.
  16. That would be nice, but I really don't think you can say this team "needs" anything. They are very good. They have 27 games until the Olympic break, and after that they can hopefully start think about getting back some of their better players. But this team is going to make the playoffs and all that really matters is they are as strong as possible then, they are doing fine as is right now. Call it the Cub fan paranoia in me. I can't help but look for problems. But don't get me wrong, I am enjoying this team very much.
  17. The Hawks are calling Eager's injury the descriptive and usually untrue "upper body injury," but one of the beat articles (Kuc in the Tribune, I think) said it was concussion-like symptoms. Obviously, his job is to hustle and kick some ass, and if he can't do that or fight occasionally, he's worthless. We really need Burish back.
  18. That's 2 consecutive shutouts for Huet isn't it? Yup. And no, the goal they put on the score in SO games doesn't go in the stats. It is weird, but it's a way to show who won the game in the box score, I guess.
  19. That was a thing of beauty. Nice job Frenchy, nice job everybody.
  20. Nice job Toews, standing up for your little buddy 88.
  21. Yep, with I think at least one game in hand on all of them.
  22. Just putting this one in the freezer...
  23. HAHAHAHA! OS-GOOD! You sieve!
  24. WTG Campbell! 2-0!
  25. So, of course, Sharp gets the only penalty. NHL officiating is a joke.
