Wow, that was extremely fortunate. 9 times out of 10 that is converted into a goal
-
omg I thought that was over for a second. Great chance
-
starting like last OT with the Hawks peppering shots at Smith, although I'd say they looked better to start the OT in game 1. The shots certainly were better in game 1.
-
At least we'd be the only 0-2 team with home games coming up
-
Still don't feel all that great about this one, but at least there's a chance for some Ben Smith-like magic
-
Last game was with 14 secs left, tonight with 5. Unreal
-
Holy [expletive] they did it again. Different result please
-
This [expletive] terrible boring hockey. What happened to puck possession? When did we stop emphasizing that?
-
we really are not getting any good offensive chances at all going back into last period. No prolonged periods in our own zone, its get in there and turn it over or throw up a contested shot that doesnt have much of a chance. You figure with a team that is known for its great neutral zone play, the Hawks would suck it up and do some dump and chase to get in the zone but no very little of that to be seen
-
Sweet a Delay of Game penalty on the Hawks. What the [expletive] [expletive] Bickell
-
First goal of this game was a PP goal. shut up
-
Hawks are now 0 for their last 17 power plays and 3 for their last 52....
-
Here's another chance to underwhelm. Honestly, there is no advantage at all when the Hawks play with an extra man. I would guess if you took the Hawks PP conversion rate, and extrapolated over a full season, they would score less goals than the team actually did this season What I don't get is..... Toews, Hossa, Kane, Sharp, Seabrook...these 5 guys were on the team 2 years ago when the PP was pretty good. What happened
-
The worst thing is, losing this series might help keep the Coyotes in this horrible hockey market.
-
Watching the Hawks PP immediately after the Coyotes PP is just [expletive] depressing. That was one of the worst PPs ever
-
Hawks going on the PP, time to run an errand
-
The 2nd worst PP unit in the league has spent maybe 4:30 of the 5 minutes in the Hawks zone.
-
For everyone complaining that our PP sucks, just imagine that this Coyotes team was WORSE than us this year. And they are having no problem on these PPs. This season might have been much different if we even had average special teams units
-
And there's the first goal of the PP. Still 3:30 left to kill. This just shifted the momentum of the series completely in Phoenix's favor. Phoenix 2nd to last on the PP this year, 2/2 tonight
-
Shaw gets kicked out and a 5 minute major. This might be the most important 5 minutes of the series. Good thing the Coyotes have a terrible PP What a terrible thing to occur right after the equalizer
-
Geez, lucky goal which is awesome but then Shaw commits a dumb penalty right after. Smith might be out of the game though, he's really shaken up. Looks for retaliation on a Hawks player....this is going to be an interesting rest of the game.
-
If the Hawks lose this, this series will be the only one of the 8 where the home team won the first 2 games.

I remember one year in the 1990s that I was very excited because every player or 7/8 in the Cubs' regular lineup had been an all-star at some point in their careers. 1998? Mark Grace - 1B (2 time All star at that point) Micky Morandini - 2B (1 time All star) Jeff Blauser - SS (2 time All star) Jose Hernandez - 3B (0 All star to that point but did make it in 2002) or in August we acquired Gary Gaetti who was a 2 time All star Henry Rodriguez - LF (1 time All star) Lance Johnson - CF (1 time All star) Sammy Sosa - RF (2 time All star) Scott Servais C (never came close to making the All Star team) For pitchers, Steve Trachsel made an All Star team in 1996, Kerry Wood didn't make the ASG in 98 but made ASG's afterwards, Terry Mullholland made it once in 1993, Mike Morgan made it in 1991, and of course Rod Beck made it 3 times with the Giants. Somewhat strange but Kevin Tapani never made it. Not that he was awesome but I figured he would have had one year worthy of it. That's 14/25 players who were either former or future all stars. -
when will people learn that Miami is just a terrible sports city full of retired Yankee fans? I thought Tampa was the Yankees fans and Miami was the Mets fans? Anyways, I can't get enough of this: http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/04/13/2747642/despite-miami-heats-big-victory.html#storylink=omni_popular#storylink=cpy Paid attendance was just over 30,000, and reports suggest that only about 20-25,000 actually showed up.

If anyone cares, my GF goes to the Montrose dog beach and sometimes runs into a guy who is really good friends with Eric Steinbach (he often takes his and Eric's dogs to the beach). Today she bumped into him and his wife, and I asked her to find out if there was mutual interest between him and the Bears, and he told her that Seattle and the Bears are the 2 teams that have showed the most interest and those are the 2 teams he has interest in. He's leaning towards Seattle because they are offering more money, and they don't think the Bears will offer more money because (in his words) the Bears are known as a notoriously cheap organization. He grew up a Bears fan and if all things were the same, he'd prefer to go here, but he's 31 years old and coming off a bad injury so although he thinks he's still at peak performance level, he would prefer to make as much money as he can at this point. My guess is he'll be signing with Seattle.
