Hey, he may be ugly, but he sure was (is?) a great hockey player and I respect him for his longevity. He was one of my favorite Hawks along with JR.

And his ugliness in that picture may be in some part because of that red outfit he is wearing :fu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I'm on that train :tu He is also a fellow countrymen

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Agreed about him and JR. That was when I discovered hockey as a child. The Hawks were my favorite team as a child because of Cheli and JR. I loved having JR on the Sharks. Definetly hurt when I saw Cheli put on that horrid red uniform. :r

Huet just punched his ticket to riding the bench in the playoffs tonight...just brutal.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Very brutal :td At least Chicago has a playoff spot locked in though :tu

Nashville beat Phoenix in a shootout moving them to the 5th seed. Calgary lost putting them 4 points behind the 8th seeded Wings :) Still only 4 points separate the 8th seed from the 5th.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

There is talk of the Hawks sending Huet to the minors to get another look at Corey Crawford to back up Niemi...I am all for that.

I am rooting for the Wings to move up to 5th...for my own reasons. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well they are 4 out with 2 games in hand, but based on win differential they still wont get 5th in a tie as he preds have 6 more regulation wins so they will need to surpass them in points out right.

I am hoping the Sharks avoid them as they have become red hot of late. Dont think it will carry them all the way to the cup, but definetly think they can make some noise in the playoffs and upset someone for sure. I still think they are a 7 seed, but if everyone else keeps losing and they stay hot they could make it.

Nice to see the Sharks redeem themselves with a shutout over the Stars after the humiliating loss to them last week. Nabby played very strong to get the shutout, but definetly got lucky a few times.

Good ones, Mike! :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Haha I love that one!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I don't think it matters who the Wings play in the playoffs, a long postseason is in their future :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

They are playing very well right now....but anything can happen in the playoffs, Son. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Shhhhhhh, the Homers on the local radio and tv feeds said they are winning the cup this year. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

It ain't out of the question, but it's far from a sure thing. :2

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Bruins 5-0 Against the Flames

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

agreed. If the sharks have taught me one thing about hockey it's reg season succes or hot streak means little in the post season. It can be good, but nothing is a sure thing. Upsets happen all the time in hockey

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yup the Flames are done.

Not by the numbers but it is almost insurmountable

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Sorry, Shawn, was looking forward to another potential playoff battle.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

sorry Shawn. I do like having the flames in the post season. The city goes all out and so do the fans. It seems like one of the most intense cities to play in post season with all the red.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Go AVS!!!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

they better go cause wings just grabbed atleast one point. Sounds like howard is standing on his head.
listening to the wings game on radiotime on phone at work. Man I love technology

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

0-0 after OT, Wings win in an 11 round shootout....Kronwall with the winner.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I wach Howard lay te other night. I was impressed.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

His first shootout attempt of his career and gets the winner. I will take it :wo Howard and Rinne were making some great saves in that shootout. Looking forward to NSH coming to the Joe on Saturday.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks have some revenge to exact against the Jackets tonight...they best do it.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

AHL Coach playfair losing his mind on the bench. Breaks an O stick and I think an S19. Notice #29 on his left laughing his ass off.

Thanks for the clips, Mike. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:eek: WOW

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Could you imagine if they had to buy their own sticks. I dont think AHL players do. Imagine that conversation.
"Uhhhh hey coach"
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"uhhhhhh you know my O stick you murdered and Joe's s19?"
"Yeah?"
"uhhhh never mind."
hahahahah

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Flames have decided to open up the can of Whoop ass on the caps.

OOO crap Sarich just iced Chimara with a left jab.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks stunk up the UC again tonight. If they play this way in the playoffs, they will be golfing on April 21st.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Next Two Game are gonna be tough for the B's Buffalo and New Jersey.
They have 2 games in hand over The Habs and the Flyers. If they can win those games they could move into 6th place.

Let's Go Bruins

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Flyers finally showed a pulse last night against the Devils (who they've inexplicably owned this year). Hopefully it's a sign of things to come, but I'm not holding my breath.

Their back-up goalie last night has been in the organization (and the NHL for that matter) since last week. He signed right out of college (UMass - Lowell). Crazy year for Flyers netminders.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

joel that seems like the flyers issue for years. I really thought they were the team to beat this year, but goaltending again hurt them.

sharks have won 4 straight and opened up a little lead over 1st. Not sure it will hold, but with 6 games left it's nice to see.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yes...it gets very frustrating. Arguably back to Hextall, or more realistically all the way back to Pelle Lindbergh (sp?).

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Crap

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Exactly.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Looks like they may be joining the Kings unless somebody finds that spark. I didn't wait 8 years to be swept in the first round. And that's if they even make it, which, unbelievably, is not a foregone conclusion. And tonight they face a team they haven't beaten in almost two years.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

man if you would have told me most of the west would implode after the Olympics I would have taken that bet.

Sharks have a chance to put a really sold grip on 1st place if they can win tomorrow. It will be interesting if the Kings end up in 8th and the Sharks in 1st as the Kings really had the Sharks number this year. That said the Kings will seed higher.

Looking at the schedules for April. This is not all the games, but the big factors.
Wings have 3 against the jackets
Kings have 3 against the ducks
Avalanche play the sharks, hawks, and canucks
Preds play Wings, Yotes, and Blues x2

I can see Wings getting up to 5th as their schedule is pretty favorable, Avalanche may end up in 8th, with the Preds 6th and the Kings 7th. I think your Kings could make it to 6th though it really depends. Your only 2 points behind them with 2 games in hand. The Avs definetly have the least favorable schedule out of 5-8 seeds. Relax the Kings will be making the playoffs provided the Duck's dont rape you and Calgary doesnt get red hot. I think the team in the most danger is actually the Preds.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yeah, I'm not too worried about them missing the playoffs, but they have looked very out of sync the last few games. Their offense is MIA since the break. I think in the end the Kings will finish in 6th, but they play better against the Sharks than they do the Canucks or Hawks. In the regular season, at least. But in the end they need to be winning at the end of the season. They are not a veteran team that can just turn it up a notch. Tonight was a good start.

These last couple of weeks should be very exciting. -(P

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Dare I say the Wings catch the Blackhawks and take back the Division lead in the last game of the season?

Probably not going to happen but a young man can hope :D

Scary win for the Wings last night. Almost blew it against Edmonton. 4-0 lead turned into a 4-4 tie very quickly. Stuart pulled out the game winner with about a minute left. Deslauriers had some crazy saves on some shots with the net wide open.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Bruins Picked up one of the two games in hand. They are now tied in points with Flyers and the Habs with 6 games remaining.
2 Against the Caps
1 ea Against the Sabers, Panters, Leafs and Canes

50/50 on the last 6 games But they are playing well, even in the loss to the sabers the other night

The Push is on

Lets go Bruins

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Nothing good happened for the Avs last night....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

9-0-1 in their last ten games. :jd As unlikely as it may seem I guess anything is possible.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks are 6 points ahead with 7 games left, 1 against the Wings. Wings have 6 games left. I will be watching both teams closely :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I got a 5'er says they don't ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

FRUSTRATING 1st.......:fl

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Finally a win for the Hawks. Nice 4-0 victory!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Niemi didn't get much work, but made some unbelievable saves...that's what we need.

Nabokov can't say the same tonight...a hat trick for Steve Ott? :r
