  4. Weak.... should have been Obama. The Flyers got Palin :(
  5. What a stupid ass opening ceremony.
  6. Versteeg, Toews, Kane are now on first line... Sharp, Havlat, Byflugien on second... I like this.
  7. Woo here we go! I am so excited!!!
  8. Hopefully you aren't a Blackhawks fan so far, then. And hopefully you're not a Bulls fan for the next few months... Chicago sucks this winter :(
  9. I wouldn't say that. Maybe there is a slight injury from God knows what or maybe Khabi just matches up better against the Preds. It does surprise me that they don't play Huet tonight for the home opener, as a lot of Hawks fans are excited to see him.
  10. The defenseman is the one who starts the charge up the ice, as you put it. He needs to know where his forwards are going to be. Of course their roles are different. But I don't think it's a stretch at all to describe the relationship of all five players as having something to do with "chemistry." breakouts are largely set plays, it's something you practice everday, and it's usually a system created by the coaching staff. the "chemistry" between a dman and a forward is almost non-existent. there are set plays in the offensive zone, but it's mostly a free-flow between the forwards (because you can't predict how a defense will react when things actually start happening in the offensive zone, whereas if you watch enough tape, you can see how a defense protects against a breakout). brian campbell is an offensive dman, but he's still a dman. he's going to pinch more often than most, but that doesn't make him any less of a dman. it should also be noted that he's not going to be on the ice with toews and kane on every shift at even strength. bleh, tried to find shift charts for this year but they're not available. i hate that nhl.com took them off their website. New NHL.com blows :( Flashy graphics, zero functionality like every other "newfangled" thing that comes out :-P
  11. Tag would be nice... don't know if I'm just missing it or what not... Would be nice for certain things and especially for sigs. Don't even know if it's possible with this type of message board.

  13. The defenseman is the one who starts the charge up the ice, as you put it. He needs to know where his forwards are going to be. Of course their roles are different. But I don't think it's a stretch at all to describe the relationship of all five players as having something to do with "chemistry." Not only that, but who here actually considers Brian Campbell to be a "REAL" defenseman? But I agree with you Kujay.
  14. Come on now.... we all know Campbell isn't a defenseman :thumbsup:
  15. I'm not brushing them off completely. But I'd like them to get this crappy play outta the way now and fix it early. I think Campbell and Kane are going to be amazing together once they get more chemistry... also, Havlat and Toews have been basically invisible the first 2 games and we all know that won't last long.
  16. Well the Blackhawks play tomorrow..... ............................. .................. :bye:
  17. What's your problem? Unfortunately I'm a Lakers fan thanks to growing up on the West Coast #-o EDIT: Also, does anyone know how protests work in NFL? Is there any?
  18. except im on the other side now!!! Seriously, shut up. +1. Seriously. +2 Actively rooting against the Bears... didn't I get a vacation for hoping Theriot's average dropped .001 point? Hmm hope he gets the same punishment. Is this a Bears forum? You were actively rooting against the Cubs on a Cubs forum. And you didn't even get a vacation, just a warning. So I can root against the Bulls?

  20. Unbelievable. What a nice play, too.
  21. And now he's wasting a timeout.
  22. Who is this Matt Ryan guy and where can I get one?
  23. Pretty sure 2.5% of the season isn't indicative of how they're going to play all year.
  24. 2 games. On the road. I love excuses. For sure, the Hawks are gonna go 0-82 now.
