Look, it's all the same shit over again, so I don't need to post it, except this time Niemi might start. 

Also, if a Panther fan could let us know what Randy Moeller's goal calls are from today, we'd be very much interested to hear them.

Hawks need a win...

…coming home from Finland without a win wouldn’t be disasterous, but wouldn’t be good either. A win today could go a long way in instilling some early confidence for this team and for Niemi if he should play well.
LET’S GO HAWKS!

Anyone else catch that graphic that just came up saying Florida had 222 shots?

If Buff continues this play

The Hawks would contend for the title without Hossa. Excellent work.

Kane doesn’t wear #19.

great game

have a feeling a niemi shut out will just add more fuel to the huet haters fire.

woohoo!

Guess we’ve got a clear #2 goalie.

If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning

Let it begin

There is a goaltender controversy in Chicago with Niemi’s performance today. Looked comfortable and had excellent rebound control and it was extra special for him to record his first NHL ShutOut in his own backyard – the Hartwall arena in Helsinki, Finland. Great job by the Hawks for getting the win an getting 3 out of 4 points on this European Vacation now on to the scene of the crime….the Joe and I can’t wait.
Question though: Who gets the nod on Thursday? It will be interesting to see who Q starts.

It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!

by hawks61 on Oct 3, 2009 1:24 PM CDT reply actions  

it'll be Huet

they’ll put Niemi’s play on a great performance due to being the local kid. He needs to have a few starts like this before the coaches will take him as a serious threat. Either that or Huet will keep his save % around 87.5% and get himself yanked.

ok, so

at about the 12 minute mark of the third… Sopel has what might have been his best shift in years, keeping the puck in the offensive zone 3 times and managing to even get a decent shot off. Then he quickly follows that up on the next shift by rushing straight in on the net for a decent scoring chance… to bad it was his own fucking net. Fucking drunken moose.

Hahahahaha.

Well put.

nice win. Florida defied odds yesterday by winning in the shootout, but came back to reality today in typical fashion by losing the second game of a back to back.

Boo Ya!

Definitely satisfied with 3 out of 4 pts.

Great team performance all around.

Was refreshing to see a butterfly goalie actually pop back up.

by Hawk_GolfeR21 on Oct 3, 2009 1:36 PM CDT reply actions  

what

an incredible job by the defense and the forwards to play a little defense. Great Job Niemi when the heat was brought. Go Hawks.

by eternale1 on Oct 3, 2009 2:15 PM CDT reply actions  

Good game. This is the Hawk team I am used to seeing, solid defense, lots of scoring . Play like this, and it can be a very good year.

He Gone!
