    I feel like I'm almost taking it for granted how the Hawks do in the playoffs. There are so many franchises in the league that would kill to see their team come back from a 3-0 deficit on the road in a playoff game. And while we are all excited about the win, it probably won't be in the top 5 or maybe even 10 playoff wins for this core of Blackhawks. I'm gonna try to enjoy it since we are looking to take a step back next year. It might be a couple of years before we reach this awesomeness again.

  3. UMFan83
    Yes good point. Since people say I like to point out bad Chicago nights I will point out that this is an especially good one.
  4. UMFan83
    Haha the Flames just scored a game winning goal with 30 secs left to beat Vancouver
  5. UMFan83
    Such an unexpected goal. I'll take it! Tracy Myers (CSN Hawks reporter) was asked on Twitter what the deal was with the water bottle on the ice and she tweeted back "filling it with gin" Quickly deleted once it was pointed out that Darling is a recovering alcoholic haha

    I think Rozival is really baked or something
  7. UMFan83
    That was one of the worst calls I've seen. I mean I'll take it but...
  8. UMFan83
    This game is bananas
  9. UMFan83
    Yup no one is allowed to sleep during the playoffs
  10. UMFan83
    Thus why the FO is brilliant
  11. UMFan83
    Was pulled after a terrible 1st period. One of the goals was wide open when he mishandled a puck behind the net and couldn't get back. Might have lost his job

    Now Thibs is saying Rose had soreness in his knee..
  13. UMFan83
    That's what they are saying right now... Dude needed minutes not precaution
  14. UMFan83
    Well this is turning into a fun night
  15. UMFan83
    Wow we are getting stomped
  16. UMFan83
    Well that's embarassing
  17. UMFan83
    Rozival or Hinrich, which coaches pet hurts his team more?
  18. UMFan83
    I swear that's like the 3rd play of his that led to a good Nashville chance. He was asking for the Predators to score.
  19. UMFan83
    I'm shocked a Rozival blunder led to a goal. Shocked
  20. UMFan83
    I believe the closest one is in Dayton. That's right an hour away. Another strike against Cincinnati.
  21. UMFan83
    My favorite Erat moment And thanks for that. Followed by the Hossa goal. Can't watch those two goals enough. All he had to do was not blindly pass it backwards towards his own net, and its possible that the Hawks entire recent history changes.
  22. UMFan83
    Shea Weber is still there to hate. But yeah I didn't like guys like Erat, Legwand, and didn't our old friend Steve Sullivan do something goon like in that 2010? Also miss watching Trotz stupid face behind the bench. Do these guys still trap a ton? I hope not.
  23. UMFan83
    Yeah the difference between Cleveland and Cincinnati is significant. Cleveland has culture, has unique things to do, etc. Cincinnati sort of has that but most of the city is a decaying mess of hills and old buildings. Outside of the modest downtown, there's really nothing, a lot of it looks like has been left untouched since the 60's. There's really nothing you can do in Cincinnati that you can't do in another city. I haven't been to Oakland proper, just Bay area, and I don't think you can consider it the worst of anything with SF just across the bay. Also, considering the seasons they play in, I'd throw Phoenix in there as worst cities to visit in MLB. First of off the city is a sprawled out mess with absolutely nothing distinguising it, other than the lack of grass, cacti and moutains in the distance. There are things to do, Scotsdale is nice of course, as is some of the older more established communities in Tempe, but the problem is its pure hell in the summer. It's like the inverse of a Chicago winter but with the same effect...everyone hibernates. Once you've been to Phoenix a couple of times, its really really undesirable IMO.

    Milwaukee has to be in the running there. The people are the difference. Wisconsinites share more similarities to Chicagoans on the surface, they are more relatable even though we are born to hate them. People from Cincinnati are a weird mutant combination of the north, the south and appalachia.

    I might have to break out the 2 TV and Computer trick for tonight. Hawks on the big TV, Cubs on my second TV and Bulls streaming on computer. Last time I did that, all 3 teams won. Can't decide if i want the bulls to win that game. Yes you do. You are going to have to play the Cavs at some point, might as well be their first real playoff test in the second round (assuming they breeze by the Celtics untested) rather than having a much more confident and tested Irving/Love/Thompson in the ECF. If they are destined to lose to Cleveland, who cares what round its in, the expectations are to win the conference, anything less is a failure whether its the 1st round or the 3rd round. The team is too veteran to use as a 'building block' for future seasons. Sorry for the derailment, back to Cubs talk...
