    Great win! Those final standing predictions seem spot on. Calgary did just beat Dallas. LA is 3 points back now of the Flames but could also catch Winnipeg
  2. Brian707
    The Hawks need every ROW they can get. They lose that tie breaker to everyone they would likely be tied with except the Jets. Good point. But they could have won in OT, given Winnipeg a point and gotten an ROW. Don't get me wrong I'm fine with them winning in regulation. 2 points is 2 points! Just would love to see LA not make it. But in looking at the standings, LAs more concerned with finishing 3rd in the Pacific than the Wild Card. Beat LA in regulation tonight. They are on the outside looking in with Calgary beating Nashville. Hawks still can finish as high as first in the central or as low as second wild card.

    Vikings

    Also lucky you for drawing Boynton Yeah probably the worst for that season, either him or Turco
  5. Brian707
    I did the Brian Campbell Poker for charity in 2011 at the Horseshoe. Every player gets a current Hawk at their table, I drew Nick Boynton. He was dating that Jen Patterson from the Mike North show at the time, and she kept coming over to him asking for a $100 bill to go play roulette. He finally got fed up after about the 5th time, and went off on her. They I believe are now married.

    Last year they slumped a little to the finish and were a bad bounce away from likely winning the Cup. That still makes me sad. Part of me would love the embarrassment of LA missing the playoffs but I would also love a path of defeating LA in the WCF then defeating whomever from the East.

    Finish 3rd, they get the Preds. Finish 1st, they get the Wild. Either way they'd have home ice against in a series against the Wild. The ideal spot is the #2 spot vs Nashville. They pissed away one of their games in hand last night.

    The Natural Hopefully his career doesn't turn out like Roy Hobbs
  9. Brian707
    I think his MLB debut will be on the road 4-20 in Pittsburgh

    Lines tonight Saad Toews Shaw Sharp Vermette Hossa Bickell Richards TT Nordstrom Kruger Versteeg Shaw on the top line :shock:
  12. Brian707
    Also Minnesota and LA won. No help tonight
  13. Brian707
    LA has a pretty brutal schedule from what I've heard. I think at this point bot WCs are coming from the Central so LA will have to pass the Flames to get in. I think the Canucks will hold on to 2nd. If the Wild were smart, they'd aim for the 2nd WC spot so they could breeze through the Pacific Division instead of having to slug their way through the Central. Wow! You are right LA has it tough. 7 of 10 on the road to close out the season. Tue. Mar. 24 Los Angeles N.Y. Rangers 4:00 PM NBCSN Thu. Mar. 26 Los Angeles N.Y. Islanders 4:00 PM FSW Sat.

    Now 3pts behind STL and 2 behind Nashville with a game in hand on both. I personally would like them to finish 2nd and have home ice vs Nashville and let St Louis deal with what will probably be Minnesota. The Ducks will probably finish 1st in the West but everyone seems so bunched up. LA might not get in, but they could also jump up to 2nd in the Pacific.
  15. Brian707
    Just got back from Arizona, saw three games and won all three. Kris Bryant only played the Saturday game I attended but he looked stunning not only on his 2 HR's but looked good at 3rd too. I know it wasn't a large sample size. Some thoughts The Sox stadium is way the [expletive] out there in Glendale, they say the game was sold out, so I found decent seats on stub hub for $2 under face value night before game. The Portillos by Sloan Park tastes just as good as any Portillos in Chicagoland.
  16. Brian707
    And if we play decently well we can earn home ice in that series. We have 3 games in hand and only 4 points behind if the tiebreaker is H2H we have that as well. First tiebreaker is R.O.W. Which the Hawks should get that if the catch Nashville
  17. Brian707
    Damn. Just a few months ago Bettman said 73 million. Canadian dollar is now down to 73 cents
  18. Brian707
    Yup and St Louis could be playing LA! :lol: If they finish #1 in the West and LA gets 2nd WC spot, which is where they both are now. Hawks now 5 points from first, they have two games in hand on Nashville. I think St Louis will take the division but the Hawks can take 2nd and have home ice on the Predators. Crazy, just thinking about when Kane went down, they were 12 points behind Nashville.
  19. Brian707
    Friend of mine on facebook said he thought 85-90% Hawks fans. That is crazy! 2011 when I last went there was probably a 50-50 split and that was a Saturday game. Pat and Steve on the telecast said that game sold out three months ago. Mike Smith what a tool. Richards looked like he had an extra step. Sharp looked a lot better, but he clearly is pressing.
  20. Brian707
    He is average, and lets see what this year's draft yields or for that matter next year.
  21. Brian707
    Damn! In 2011 we bought the tickets from the ticket office for like $18 a ticket. They were upper level behind the goal but they seem to be doing what other teams do when the Hawks, Detroit, Pittsburgh, or Montreal are in town.
  22. Brian707
    I did a Cubs-Sox in Glendale then Hawks Coyotes game in 2011 . I did change from my Cubs jersey to Hawks sweater in parking lot. But no joke the Coyotes stadium AC has to be set below 60F. They actually sell hot chocolate there.
  23. Brian707
    Oduya back on Thursday.
  24. Brian707
    Yes he did, and he looked like the best player on the ice for the Hawks until OT.
  25. Brian707
    Well they have only lost once in regulation since Kane went down. However their offense wasn't playing well with Kane, now it's putrid without. Crawford has been bailing them out.
