Thanks Tom, I have a friend who turned me onto the Hawks back in the 80's. Although I am a die hard Avs Fan, there is still a soft spot in my heart for the Hawks :D By the way one of my all time favorite players was Steve Smith :tu

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

He and Chelios made one helluva tandem in Chicago for a few years, should have won the Cup in '92. My favorite Hawk was a Steve too......Larmer #28.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Saw that promo last week watching. Damn near fell out of my chair. No way something like that happening here.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Sharks play by play guy Randy Hahn (who I really enjoy listening to) cracked me up today when discussing the starting goalies at the start of the SJ-Detroit game tonight.

He said "Reports are that Jimmy Howard is about to sign a contract extension, 6 years at a gazillion bucks". :r

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

The Wild are shriveling into oblivion. Injury after injury..... now just hoping we can slide into the playoffs.....

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Larmer was a hell of a player as well :)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

AVS!!! Fun win.....exciting finish....

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

St Louis has replaced Vancouver as the dirtiest bunch of punks in the West. Backes, Jackman, Perron.....wish I could take one shift. ;)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Oilers need some veteran leadership and some better D, Derrek....those kids can't do it all themselves.

Hawks on the other hand....they are rolling again.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

After watching the Wings play tonight, and the Stars last night, I am hoping Detroit hangs onto 8th in the West and get the Hawks in round one. The Stars are firing on all cylinders, even after trading Jagr, Ryder and others, while the Wings just aren't playing well from top to bottom...I think the Hawks sweep them if they get the Wings.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

My favorite Hawks: Tony Esposito and Stan Mikita
Now that's going back a few years

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Oil fire GM Tambellini, replace him with MacTavish.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Mikita was my favorite as a kid, he ost a little luster when I met him (again) as an adult.

My favorite D-man back in the day was Dave Manson, that's where I took my jersey number (#3) from when I started playing.

Hard to pick a current favorite with players like Toews, Hossa, Seabrook, etc.

You msunderstand me, Mike, I want Detroit to be #8....I think the Hawks can sweep them, whereas I think the Stars will be tougher.

Italian Beef all the way, Brother! :tu

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

mactavish to replace tambellini as gm...lowe should have been fired and tambellini promoted.

katz...worst owner in the nhl...wants to be part of the "good old boys" club...be friends with a group that wouldnt have him when he was young.buying friends...how lame.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Jim Cornelison's anthem from last nights Blackhawks game is getting air time out here hell of a singer :tu
Also a nice touch by the Chicago Tribune :tu
http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/...0-16072150.pdf

So I guess Your a Bruins fan now Tom :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I rooted for them in the 2011 SCFs, John! :D

Cornelison is great, though at the game you can hardly hear him over the crowd.

Some people think the way Hawks fans cheer throughout the National Anthem is disrepsectful. What many don't realize is that is started in 1991, when the US was involved in Desert Storm. The All Star game was held in Chicago that year, and broadcasted live in the Middle East to our Troops. And thus a tradition was born. I was lucky enough to be at the game.
