Had on-the-glass seats at the Bruins/Stars game tonight, and got to watch the final scrum (with Avery and Lucic getting kicked out) develop right in front of us. Was cool to see ourselves on the nightly highlights... I'm in the blue jacket next to the guy in the white B's jersey, and got a decent amount of face time

I watched the replay of the game. Looks like the Bruins might be a team to contend with this year.

Hope is a good thing. Reality is another.

Well, I'm hoping you have a disappointing evening, with all due respect!!

I'll be looking for you from my tv.
I have to say I don't have a lot of confidence going into this one. My Blues haven't won a game this month

and your Hawks have only lost one in OT.
I guess the streak on both sides has to stop at some point. Hopefully tonight!!!

St Louis has had a tough start, though Captain Keith has started to look good. McDonald and Boyes give them a chance every night, and Kariya has always been a Hawk killer. Hopefully Queneville will start Khabibulin tonight, but we shall see.

I am sitting in the nosebleeds tonight, so I don't know if I will get the TV time like last season. I will be wearing my black Rockford Icehogs jersey, so if I do get on, you will know it is me!

For those of you who can watch the Wings - Panthers game, my friend is starting in goal for Florida...so for a change, I will actually be rooting against the Wings in a game where they don't play the Hawks.

Go Craig!

I would give my left grape for a shift in an NHL game....I could be the comedic entertainment for the fans!

I'm not terribly too surprised about him getting the axe already, but it is a bit of a disappointment.

About a month before the season started I ran into him at a cigar bar in Boston. Didn't really get a chance to talk at length, but he was excited and looking forward to coaching again.

I'm curious to see how long it takes ESPN to sign him as a commentator again... I seem to remember Eddie O getting back on VS pretty quickly after the Pens fired him.

I heard a lot of interesting things about Tampa Management from people in the know over the summer.

It seems most are trying to avoid the team like the plague

Turn over after turn over. The Blues have got to be smarter at the "Blue line".

Sorry about the during game commentary. I had to vent!!

11-14-2008, 09:28 PM

The Blues pull it off in OT. Finally a win in Chicago!!!
My condolences Icehog

None necessary, it was a great game live! Hawks salvage a point after playing 10 of the worst minutes of the season to start the game. Penalties in OT are killers, 4 on 3 creates too much open ice and are so much tougher to defend than 5 on 4s.

Seeing Byfuglien thump Keith Tkachuk was worth the price of admission alone...Captain Keith has really become quite the jag in his later years.

Hawks name Denis Savard club ambassador

Good job on the Hawks part. It was tough to see him go, but they are treating him right.

Pat Foley had to cut off the ovation Savard received from the United Center crowd when he was introduced during the Pilote / Magnuson ceremony so the game could proceed. It was a wonderful moment for Savard

Devils - Caps...what a game! Ovechkin ties it at 19:59....goes to shoot-out Devils win 6-5....wow.....exciting game....Devils score 6? A much needed win.
