  1. Giving up 1 goal in the game is typical hocks? :)
  2. Hawks lose again in the shootout. Stuck on 99 points. Would be nice to get a point in Detroit because 99 sounds much worse than 100 4 of the last 5 Hawks games have ended in a shootout. The Hawks are 1-3 in those shootouts.
  3. Nashville loses...the best the Hawks can do is the 5 seed. No thanks. Dallas is officially eliminated, meaning the 6 seed will be playing either LA, SJ or Phoenix.
  4. Also, as far as Nashville goes, the Predators are up 2-0 right now, if they do in fact win, the Hawks chance of getting home ice is over I believe. The Hawks would be 2 points down with 1 to play, and they would lose all tiebreakers as Nashville clinched the regulation/OT wins already and dominated the Hawks in H2H
  5. If the Hawks can win before the shoot out, the last game against Detroit will be interesting. The Hawks would be 1 point behind Detroit and tied in regulation/OT wins, meaning that any type of Blackhawks win would push them ahead of Detroit to end the season (the 2nd tiebreaker is non-shootout wins, the 3rd is number of points in H2H games which the Hawks would win). If the Hawks win in a shootout, they would need a non-shootout win over Detroit to pass the Wings. If the Hawks only take 1 point tonight, they would need a win in regulation (detroit cant get a point).
  6. 3 minutes from a shutout win. Stupid penalty to take with so little time left Bickell. Grrr
  7. Well the Texans wouldn't exist if the county told the NFL that a new expansion team would be playing in the Astrodome. Around 1996 the Astros threatened to move without a new stadium. So unless Houston wanted to risk being a 1 team town, they pretty much had to build those stadiums.
  8. Meh, not as interested in W/L this year than I am about individual results. I'll have to take a look at the boxscore and see if there's anything worth salvaging from this game. At least the new video board looks nice :)
  9. Yay for our 8th and 9th inning relievers. Bulls and Hawks on tonight!
  10. So the Cubs don't play tomorrow? When is the last time the Cubs had a Friday off day not including rainouts?
  11. Bill Murray is trying too hard to be funny here.
  12. 14 pages? Probably would have been the largest game thread of the last 161 games last year. Remember when random games in May would sometimes go over 100 pages. How does Strasbourg look?
  13. This is how we get treated for rescuing him off the scrap heap?
  14. I hate that I am not more excited about this. I keep forgetting that tomorrow is opening day. I don't know why but I'm just not in baseball mode yet. I'm more excited about this years team than the last 2 but just not yet. This will be the first year since 2004 that I won't be going to the home opener which is rather disappointing. Hopefully by tuning into the game tomorrow, I will quickly build my excitement for the season.
  15. So we need to lose some games to drop in the standings?
  16. That is the one thing that swings the percentages...from 0% to something? Ask yourself how last years team fared. Then ask yourself what has changed from last seasons team to this seasons team. When you answer the question, you then form a logical opinion. Well a much more efficient offense is one thing.
  17. He was terrible. Not surprised and his stats showed he was but still, I'm happy that he should have time to get into rhythm by the playoffs, that is if he doesn't get hurt again and still can be a productive player on that kind of stage. He made a ton of lazy ass passes in the game that were stolen out of mid air by Rockets. In one stretch just before halftime he tried to throw a cross court pass that was easily grabbed by a Rocket for an easy layup on the other end, and then immediately after Rip was inbounding and for some reason tried to pass the ball to Lucas who was at half court and must have forgotten that Lucas isnt 6'6'' and overthrew him for another TO that was quickly turned into another 2 points. Ugly. The Bulls for some reason made a lot of lazy cross court passes and almost all of them were picked off by the Rockets. It was like 2009 Jay Cutler was out there trying to desperately get the ball to Greg Olsen.
  18. Oh ok, the Heat are just coasting towards the playoffs, and the Bulls are making every game life or death. Got it. I just want to know, what did you specifically see tonight from that Bulls to set you off on this ridiculous rant?
  19. Awesome. It's going to be "Awesome" when you guys rage after the Heat off the Bulls in the playoffs and you start saying the same things I'm saying now. I'm pretty sure at this point that you want the Bulls/Bears to lose horrifically so that your ridiculous negativity is by pure chance proven correct. I mean seriously the Heat are getting blown out 3 times in the past 10 games with their full roster and that's the team the Bulls can't beat?
  20. 6 points down with the ball and 81 seconds left. Pretty much every thing has to go perfect but stranger things have happened.
  21. Something tells me that Stacey didn't bring out the old poster machine for that one. I don't think he even bothered to post the video to Facebook.
  22. My guess is Sunday. After today we have 2 days off, a game, and then 2 more days off. No sense in rushing him back for the game on Thursday with 2 more days off after that.
  23. Well at least we got a point out of our last home game. I hate shootouts though. 98 points with 2 to play and the good news is that only getting 1 point hurts our odds of finishing 5th or 4th.
  24. Hawks not doing a great job of proving that they don't have a terrible defense and goaltending.
  25. crap, where we gonna get the top line defenseman this late in the season....
