One period game, Huet looks shaky but the Hawks forecheck looks solid.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:sad

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

How 'bout that Johnny Toews? :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great aggressive play in the the extra period by the Hawks. Good win.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Nice win for the Hawks. Well fought by both teams.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Sharks play down low is pretty impressive. Jumbo Joe is still quite the playmaker. :2

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

They played pretty good, but seened to run out of gas in the 2nd and they were just hanging on in the 3rd. I think playing last night took its toll.

Good win for the Hawks.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Going to be an issue for every team at some point with the compressed schedule due to the Olympics.

I could easily see the Sharks and Hawks playing each other in the Western Conference Finals this season.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yes, but I stand by the statement anyway. I know the HAWKS were there last year, Shawn. :fu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Funny. Our seats are right next to press row and they laughed out loud when our section (328) cheered like crazy when we got just the one point at the end of regulation.

Relax, Joe. We are now only 11 points out of the playoff picture. We can just as easily run the table this week and be right back in it.:banger

"Oh, we're playing golf today, my friend."

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:tpd:
My words exactly

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yup I wasn't referring to the Hawks....begrudgingly I think they will push deep again.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

That statement caused me to become strangely aroused, Shawn. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Dang, Ryan Smyth out for up to a month. What a blow to the Kings. He is so integral to that top line. This will be a real test and if they can learn to win without him they will be better for it.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Toms thinking about the scene from training day where he asks about getting it pushed in. Man I hate that movie.


It appears the oilers captain moreau is okay after taking a shot to the head last night. He took the day off today after the hit to the head last night where he didnt return to the game afterwards.

Heard about Smyth. Big loss for the team. They were talking about how his play was earning him a spot on team canada. Hopefully he doesnt loose that spot now.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I like Ethan, glad he is OK.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks up 6-1 end of the 2nd:D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

WOooooooooo
Anyone watch the Ducks post game. Neids was the first star and went to hand a little girl the stick. Some clown took the stick and the fans went Tie Domi on the dude. Neids even made a comment that the little girl needs to get the stick.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wow just wow

credit to the Hawks but I am pretty sure anyone could havebeat the Flames tonight.

Quite possibily the worst game I have seenthem play in the 12 years I have been a fan.

I dunno if this Sutter thing is working, i know his pedigree and his credentials as a coach are beyond reproach but something is broken on that team of mine :(

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Shawn one game does not make a season.
I know it was a rough one, but the flames are currently 8th overall out of 30 teams. I am a little concearned that this came on the heals of an alleged blowout between the coach and Phaneuf. I would say give it a little while.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Flames are off to a great start...every team has a stinker now and then, Shawn.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wat is going on out at the Lighthouse? Isles are 6-2-2 in thier last ten and in thier last five the dropped 2 in the typical OT way. Again, I wonder what team has the record for OT games played by a team in a season. Tonight I hope the Isles/Wild game is on TV. I need Center Ice.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Thrashers battle back from two down after the first period to lose to the B's in a shoot out. The playstyle of Boston seemed frustrating for the Thrashers who like to control the puck all the way into the offensive zone instead of just dumping it in. Once they started dumping it, the game turned around enough for them to tie it up.

It seemed to me last night that Kovalchuk was trying to pass the puck one two many times when he should have just taken the shot. I found myself asking why he didn't just shoot instead of having it knocked away on the pass attempt.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

My concern is there is way more than one stinker in there.

The game against the Leafs was a horrible display except for the goaltending of Kiprasoff other than a few lucky goals the Leafs manhandled the Flames for most of the Game.

They have laid down and played dead against the Hawks twice this year.

They let Colorodo dictate the pace of the game the other night and therefore did not play within their system or style, allowing Colorado to stand in front of Kipper and essentially have their way with him.

Up 5 nothing against the Canucks and let them storm back with 3 more goals (4 if you count the one that was waved off by an early whistle)

Watching the game last night, Sutter was furious and clearly unhappy yet none of the players even reacted, in fact they seemed to become even more lethargic.

Dunno when you add those things up I don't like what I see. There is more season to come but I am concerned, lets put it this way I am very thankful for the great start and that Kipper is having a stellar start, this could get very ugly fast.

Just my thoughts.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I think the Flames are a very good team, Shawn, but I will say this....Iginla needs to think about what is happening on the ice rather than smacktalking to the opposing players and bench. He is the leader on that team, and young guys will follow his example. Actions speak louder than words. I think Iginla is an elite player, but he needs to stop losing focus when things go wrong. JMHO.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Good game last night Shawn but the Bruins seemed to get a sense of direction with Lucic back and it appeared to carry through to the shoot out. Tough game to lose but the Bruins have had a great deal of doing just that.:tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Woot what a game!
Heaters second hatrick of the season. Thorton passes 600 career points. I really like the way this season is going. That short handed goal between Thorton and Heatley was friggin wicked.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great game for the nucks tonite! Down 2-0 at the end of the first, and 2-1 at the end of the 2nd. Then came 4 more goals for a 5-2 will !!! woooohoo!!!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Tom, we're in the NHL thread:r:r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yes finally another win!!!! Yotes sneaking up in the rankings!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

6 in a row for the Hawks....2nd in the West with 4 games in hand to San jose. :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yes but they need to win all 4 to have more points. Well technically they could win 3 and tie 1 and have one more point.

Overall great night for me. Al my teams won.
As a kid Blackhawks (chelios and Roenick)
Sharks, leafs and Yotes all with wins

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

6 in a row so far...it ain't out of the question, Mike. ;) :r

Tonight will be one of the toughest games on the road trip for the Indianheads. Not only a back-to-back game, but the n eed to control their emotions playing against the team that gave Toews his concussion back in October.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yeah, should be a good game. Watching it right now. Go nucks !!:banger

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great game so far. Hopefully, the Hawks can get it done in the 3rd.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

dont know if any of you guys know about this, but its pretty cool

7 in a row for the Blackhawks. :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:wo:wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

And 2 in a row for the Hurricanes! ;)

Keep an eye on Brandon Sutter... the kid is a player. :tu

One good thing with all the injuries and call-ups, we are getting to see some exciting young talent that are jazzed to get a chance to play at the NHL level. It has been fun to see the spark they bring.

:ss

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Good genes, Joe?? :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The streak ends Wednesday! :ih

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

It may, Sharks are a great team. I think the Hawks are as good as any team in the NHL right now though...and Hossa should be back in the line-up Wednesday, Bob. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hossa is only going to make the Hawks even better. Watch out for them:tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Avs Win!

Though almost lost another 3 period lead....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

No doubt... they keep commenting on Sutter's "Hockey IQ" - I believe you are right... he certainly comes from an excellent Hockey family. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

6 Brothers in the NHL at one time? Who else can say they had a Dad and 5 Uncles in the Big Show, Joe? :D

Giguere almost stole one for the Ducks in regulation, he was awesome as the Flames were on fire. Going to a shootout now.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Giguere stones them in the shootout.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Dang...Yotes got smoked in Canada tonight.
