Oh boy. Good move not getting a goaltender Hawks. I hate to act pessimistic in any way towards this team, but they have not looked like a dominant team in a month or two (not inc. the Olympic break). Remember when they would go on streaks of scoring 4+ goals every game? Where is that team? Where is the team that had 2 goalies among the league leaders in shutouts? Where the hell are they? Where is the team who went into one of if not the hardest arena to play in the NHL and throttle that team 7-2? It would really really be a shame if the team blew probably their biggest opportunity.

ST is first come first served. I'd say first person to put it up after midnight tonight gets the honors. -
Step 1: Use stats more Step 2: Google "OBPS" and notice that's not what it's called Step 3: Learn which stats are actually relavent Step 4: Don't use stats that do not actually coorlate to future performance Step 5: Learn what "sample size" means Steps 2-5 can be done in any order

I can think of 2 games where the Blackhawks won after trailing by multiple goals early without even thinking hard. The first one is obvious. Did you all forget the Calgary Flames game back in (i think) November? Hawks were down 5-0 early and came back and won in OT 6-5. The other one I can think of is the game in Boston in January. They quickly fell behind 2-0, and came back to win 5-2 or 5-3, I can't remember exactly. A majority of the time any team that goes down 2 goals isn't going to win. You have to play 3 goals better than another team for the rest of the game. The Blackhawks are good and can comeback sometimes, even more than most teams in the league, but more often than not they aren't going to win.
-
Shouldn't some of this be on the defense? I haven't watched much of the game tonight, but I find it hard to believe that our goalies are this bad night in and night out.
-
The Pirates dominated Manatee CC 6-1 today. It truly appears to be the Pirates year.
-
Man we're losing? It seems like every game our goalies suck. Like there's not even a good or decent game mixed in. Just a bunch of horrible goaltending. What happened since the first half of the season??
-
Jay Cutler is going to cry himself to sleep if this happens.
-
That's the most awesome thing I've ever seen. Thanks for brightening up my day (I just came back from the game)
-
If anyone is interested, these are the stats for the Blackhawks in the Olympics: Duncan Keith - 0 G, 6 A, 6 PTS, +6, 10 SOG, 20:44 MPG Brent Seabrook - 0 G, 1 A, 1 PTS, +2, 4 SOG, 8:26 MPG Jonathan Toews - 1 G, 7 A, 8 PTS, +9, 10 SOG, 14:38 MPG Patrick Kane - 3 G, 2 A, 5 PTS, +4, 22 SOG, 17:21 MPG Marian Hossa - 3 G, 6 A, 9 PTS, 0, 26 SOG, 18:49 MPG Tomas Kopecky - 1 G, 0 A, 1 PTS, +1, 9 SOG, 11:00 MPG In total: 8 G, 22 A, 30 PTS, +22, 81 SOG, average MPG of 15:10

At least our young guys got even more experience playing in high pressure games before the playoffs start in a month.
-
Sweet, besides charlotte not playing and losing 0.5 games to milwaukee bc of last night, that erases all the damage that losing last night did.
-
take what away from them? "we dominated those little kids, man. nobody can take this away from us. we clearly were a better team than those little blind kids. we are truly champions today." If that extreme example actually took place, the Cubs would have won a major league baseball world series title. No one can take that away. It's not like they made selig do that or changed leagues just so they could say they won a title in something. They only won against whoevr they were told to play. Obviously if it really happened Itd be a different story. I was talking in hyperbole but that would be the argument I'd make in this hypothetical situation.
-
did you say the same things when the cardinals won in 2006? If I did do you think cards fans gave a crap? That was my point.
-
I have always said that if Bud Selig decided major league baseball was gonna consist of the Cubs and 29 teams of blind 8 year old girls, and the Cubs had to use all 7 games to win it, I wouldn't care. They won it and you can't take that away from them.
-
Don't buy it. My philosophy is if you won a title who the hell cares? I mean if it was a semi final win then I'd see a win marred by a poor performance and how it relates to their prospects in the final. Once you've won a title nothing else matters. People can tear down the title all they want but you are the champ they can't take it away from you. Plus in this instance This particular team Canada will never have to defend their gold. They will forever be recognized as the champs. Do you think people will remember alabamas performance in 30 years or even who they played? Only the hardcore will.
-
yeah, whatever, they still beat us at everything else. [expletive] em. now when and where are the summer games and can we please [expletive] win the most gold medals at that one? [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] China's probably taking over the Summer games for the foreseeable future. They're pathological about it. Maybe. The games won't be held in China for the forseeable future either. yeah, china won't be there, it will probably be the americans winning the most medals again, but the british coming out of nowhere to win more golds than anyone. yeah or maybe Iran or something.
-
I hope the NHL responds by moving Edmonton and Calgary to Houston and Las Vegas respectively.
-
Bobsled? yeah, whatever, they still beat us at everything else. [expletive] em. now when and where are the summer games and can we please [expletive] win the most gold medals at that one? [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] Didn't we win 9 golds? Did Canada not participate in those 9 events?
-
Yeah after seeing the replay, it was a slow shot that Miller decided to redirect behind him instead of falling on it, which I thought was weird because there were 2 Canadians there where he sent the puck. And the Canadians kept the possession and scored. Blah. Oh well that was a fantastic tournament and while I'm disapointed to come so far, we pretty much played even with the Canadians or possibly slightly better than them on their home ice in a tournament that meant so much to the country. It's not the same as a gold, but Agghhhh, I tried this sucks.
-
I'm having a really hard time blaming Miller for anything Yeah I know Ryan Miller had a fantastic tournament and I'm not mad at him. But on that particular play, I noted that he shouldn't have deflected that shot back to Canada. Of course if we didnt have Miller we'd have gotten 5th place or something.
-
Miller blew that by giving up a rebound that kept Canada in possession of the puck which led to the score.
-
Dammit :(
-
I thought Kane would gonna do some awesome stickwork there but he lost control of the puck.
-
They are thinking of the general public, who they think don't want to watch 60 minutes of scoreless hockey potentially.
