    I think Nashville might be last year's Colorado. Richards and Seabrook had bad games, but they lost, I will take 4-1-1 every six games.

    This is from what Pat Foley said during last night's broadcast "Get the red out" I didn't hear it, I missed the beginning of the game and the first half of the third. From the Committed Indian: http://thecommittedindian.com/dead-voices-james-neal-3-blackhawks-2/ ◾Foley mentioned this a bit.. The Preds instituted a “keep the red out” policy for the game. I think that means you had to buy tickets to a second non-Chicago game in order to get these tickets (probably still cheaper than a single ticket to the UC) but they also gave a bag of popcorn to anyone wearing a yellow sweater. Foley also mentioned you would get two tickets if you turned in a Hawks shirt or cap too. Did I hear that right? That can’t be right, can it? I mean.. this piece of [expletive] costs less than a dollar http://www.ebay.com/itm/Creative-sz-L-XL-NHL-CHICAGO-BLACKHAWKS-Reversible-100-Cotton-Bucket-Hat-/131328259240?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item1e93c634a8. Would that have got me two tickets?

    Do they still do that? I know they tried not selling to Hawks fans last year, but they ditched that plan, right? The way I understood it, to get Hawks tickets you either had to be a season ticket holder, or if you bought from ticketmaster you had to also purchase a non Hawks game ticket. Still doesn't stop someone who is a Preds fan from selling on Stub Hub or Ebay. Still comes out cheaper for Hawks fans to buy on the secondary market, than buying home Hawks tickets. Plus Nashville is an 8 hour drive and a very fun city to visit.

    Hawks in Nashville tonight. Lets see how their "Get the Red out" campaign works. Although it is a weeknight, I think there will be a lot of Hawks fans there

    They also have more wins in Soldier Field than the Bears in 2014

    The Chicago Blackhawks do not have a single 2nd period goal this entire 2014-15 season That's about the only negative I can come up with in the first five games.
  7. Brian707
    Yup. Agree, he made the 3rd line look good(the only line that looked weak so far this year) 5 game unbeaten streak to start the season, and until yesterday haven't looked in top form. I don't think any team will top the 2010 Hawks but this team has a chance to be better than the 2013 team(not including The Streak) Richards I will give some time to, he might need to find his legs, plus he is with a new team, and he had a daughter born just before the season started.

    According to Uverse game WILL be aired on Fox at 830am Chicago time

    Rumor has it Crow is just sick, so not anything to worry about long term unless he has Ebola or something. Raanta needs a start soon anyway. Versteeg in, so hopefully Carbomb out, but knowing Q it will be Morin that sits.

    This old lady called into the Mully and Hanley show this morning, telling all of Chicagoland how she told them so in that the Bears should have kept McCown instead of Cutler :banghead: I only wish she would have called Boers and Bernstein. Cutler has had some costly turnovers, but the offensive play calling and clock management has been baffling so far this season. Im starting to think Trestman is in over his head. I wonder why the hell Shea Mcclellin is even a starter other than the fact he was Emery's first draft pick. Patriots win Sunday but don't cover 31-27

    Packer fans that live away from the state line are usually pretty decent. Its the ones who live in Southern Wisconsin or Illinois who are the assholes.
  12. Brian707
    Be glad. I thought that the Bengals had a rather apathetic fan base, but my ears were ringing from hearing their yokel fans telling "WHO DEY, WHO DEY, WHO DEY SAY GONNA BEAT DEM BENGALS" in my ears for 4 hours. I think because Bears fans travel so well, home fans feel threatened and really let our fans hear if if/when they win/dominate. I went to that game, they weren't that bad, compared to how some Bears fans treat opposing fans at Soldier Field. Although their rather strong redneck accent was quite annoying. Who Dey had to be stolen from the Saints Who Dat? I left at halftime and got back to Chicago two hours quicker than I thought.
  13. Brian707
    Road Bears games are always fun. My last one I went on was vs Tennessee, all the Titans fans were leaving in the 2nd quarter of that one. This year's road schedule, Atlanta seemed like the most enticing option for Bears fans to make a trip. Not a lot of other good road games to go to this year like Tampa, Miami, Nashville, or New Orleans.

    Hawks will only be playing their third game, while Calgary their 5th(they are playing Nashville tonight). I agree this lull is making me wish for a shortened season.
  15. Brian707
    no way, shootouts are awesome for the regular season. they just need to make it 5 shooters each. They are a gimmick to make sure there is a "winner" and a "loser". Its about as random as having Toews and the Jamie Benn meeting at center ice and playing "rock scissors paper" for the extra point. Duncan Keith played 29 minutes? :banghead: Carbomb is worthless. Crawford won the game for the Hawks. is it okay if someone ends the game in overtime on a breakaway? Big difference between that and a shootout

    Colorado gets ripped 6-0 last night. Its just one game but I really do believe that team is on the outside looking in come playoff time.
  17. Brian707
    We played with pretty much 4 defensemen. Rundblad played 6 minutes. TVR played just short of 12 min. I guess I shouldn't get so worked up. They play tomorrow, then are off until Wednesday, and are off after that for awhile. Only two games in nine days or something like that. Plus they are playing Buffalo and Calgary.

    It would be like playing the 10th inning in baseball than going to a HR derby to decide the winner. Just leave it a tie, after OT and move on.

    Did I hear a "Leddy lost his stick" at the start of that? Yes you did. I remember that play, he partially blocked the shot which caused the weird bounce. If he got in front of the shot the goal never would have happened and maybe the Hawks win it in OT and win the Cup.

    Sharks beat Kings 4-0 :shock: Sharks always look like world beaters before April 15th. Kings always look mediocre before April 15th.

    Before 1969 there were no playoffs, as for that year it more was the Mets getting really hot more than the Cubs choking.

    That was my first year following the Cubs. I remember being in school and our teacher had the game on the radio. 13-0 romp in game 1, Sutcliff homered. I think I got home in time for the 7th inning. Don't remember much about game two other than they won 4-2 or something like that. Then the weekend in San Diego, what a gut punch. But had they beaten San Diego, the Tigers probably would have won that series. 2003 was much worse imo though, They would have beaten the Yankees.
