Does anyone know where to track coaches’ career records? I could’ve sworn I read somewhere that Vancouver was Quenneville’s 499th win, but another source says it’s this game.

Worked late, but thank god I decided to DVR it rather than jumping into the third. Huet was amazing until the Hawks decided to try and get a shortie while down 2 men, since being down only 1 was too easy. Panda was backchecking, stick lifting, CHECKING, and his shortie gave me a woodie. On pace for 120 goals after missing 20 games is always nice, and even Sopel looked amazing. He had the assist to Panda, but I remember seeing him save a SOG while standing at the left goal mount and keeping a shark from getting the puck. I don’t think there is really anyone who did anything to warrant a bashing, aside from Campbell turning the puck over, Kane being lazy, and Huet being a shitty goalie. Those guys are terrible

All in all, this is not a game getting deleted anytime soon.

but that was just a joy to watch.

It was Kent Huskins who fell down on Sharpy’s SHG, by the way, but Boyle looked absolutely horrible tonight, probably because he’s not at full health.

“dsp-;00oooooo”
— says the cat. He wants to play fetch. In the middle of the night. I might not survive the weekend.

but Hossa just tied JHC in the goal category! They both have 2!

Holy shit!

if I’d been at home watching the game in a whiskey-soaked haze I’m not sure I’d have believed it happened…but I was at Whirlaway watching it with other people in a sweet potato-and-beer-fueled haze instead, so it must be true.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one feeling greedy late in the game hoping for a shutout and/or Hossa hat trick…but this is quite nice, thank you.

but I needed to be up in half an hour anyway— damn sales— so I’ve got the CSN replay of the game on. Whoo!

Is all I can say is our 2009/10 Chicago Blackhawks have some serious depth!

Barker 1 A
Brouwer 1 G 1 A
Hjalmarsson 1 A
Hossa 2 G
Kane 1 A
Keith 3 A
Madden 1 G
Seabrook 1 G 1 A
Sharp 1 G 1 A
Sopel 1 A
Toews 1 A

hahaha, I don’t think I’m going to sleep tonite! One of the sportscasters on NHL Network made a comment during the game recap about the Hawks team being so good they don’t even need Hossa! He may be on to something but I want all of Hossa we can get!

Lets make it clear thought that this is just one game and one win. The Blackhawks and us as fans have an obligation to keep the petal to the metal and never feel as if we our ENTITLED to the Cup. The Blackhawks need to fight tooth and nail til every last second of every game. We as fans need to support them and cheer them on, Good times and BAD times too. No one is going to hand us Lord Stanley’s Cup (Nor do I want them to) we will earn every last ounce of silver in Lord Stanley’s Cup till the Champaign flows out and into the mouths of our Chicago Blackhawks!

Words can not describe how proud of the Chicago Blackhawks I am after tonites performance. But if congrats and thank you’s are going to go anywhere it’s to Rocky Writz.

Here Here to Rocky!

"This is humbling," McLellan said. "When you’re not prepared to play and you’re not alert, those things can happen, especially when you’re playing, perhaps, the top team in the NHL."/blockquote>

That is all.

Makes for a good Thanksgivin’.

You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you …

Great site – I’m a new de-lurker and think you guys are doing a great job. Thanks.

these Blackhawks would be the Wayne led Oilers—who like the Hawks, would jus overwhelm the opposition with pure Hockey talent.

Congrats to Rocky and THANK YOU to Dale Tallon —Sorry Dale you got Corn Holed by the Organ-I-zation

completely dismantle the Sharks last night. But it was one of those feelings you don’t allow any headway in your brain, because its still Chicago, and things so rarely work out like that.

Last night changed things. This was a warning shot to the rest of the NHL. The Hawks are now, without argument, the greatest team in the league. If you play them without being completely prepared for the level of depth and skill this team has, you will be royally fucking embarrassed.

And congratuations to all the season ticket holders out there. Any remaining games you won’t be able to make just doubled in value.

…the giddiness is muted, and the reality of the long road ahead is apparent.

1. Soup must have felt right at home, booed every time he touched the puck (UC fans, you know who you are.)

2. How about Ladd-Madden-Brouwer for Team Canada? Seriously, Sweden is reportedly looking hard at Nintendo. Hawks could have quite a few Olympians.Might this be a disruption? If so, I say fuck the Olympics- they’re every four years, whereas this might be once in a lifetime.

3. Keith led the team with 24 minutes, a couple below normal, but shouldn’t the Hawks give him and Seebs (21) more time off late in games like this? Think May/June.

4. Shorties count in +/-? I did not know that. Seems to me they should be netted against PPGA in assessing the PK. Looked at this way, the Hawks have allowed a net seven PPGA this year. Fucking silly.

5. Imagine how good this team will be when Hossa joins them? Any word on this?

that I spent a good amount of the game laughing………..just joyous, inhibition free, chuckling at our Hawks embarrassing a team that was previously undefeated in regulation at their own pond.

My dad and I were watching the game, and the more we saw sharp’s shorty, the funnier it got. That was the hockey version of “posterizing” someone (Nabakov).

No letdowns now. Play a solid game against the ducks and see if you get survive a back to backer against the kings.

BTW………..I think it is safe to say that Hossa is thankful to be right where he is.

DOMINATION! HAWW-SSAA!

Just got done watching this on my PVR and did the ‘Hawks ever serve a meal to the men in teal, holy fuck! 3 shorthanded goals on the Sharks first 2 PP attempts? Suprised it wasn’t a record though until I remembered that the ’Hawks had done it previously to the Wings (how could I forget?). Putting up a TOUCHDOWN before San Jose even got one? Needless to say that was one sick performance by the ’Hawks tonight.

After complaints all season about the ’Hawks not delivering any blowouts victories they definitely serving up some of their best here on this circus trip making the Sharks and Flames look like fucking clowns.

After watching the Hossa for years here in Ottawa I couldn’t contain my excitement to finally see him in ‘Hawks jersey but was nervous that he wouldn’t perform up to his standards at the beginning after his shoulder surgery and rehabilitation. Obviously I shouldn’t have been, as his shorthanded goal was smokin’ as he received the pass behind him while in full throttle mode, and that was after he blocked the point shot, and then beat Nabokov like a rented mule. SWEET!

Apologies for the long post but I couldn’t contain my excitement after, argueably, the biggest regular season game to date and watch the ‘Hawks virtually ’Polansky’ the Sharks in their own building 7-2. Let’s fuck up the Ducks and make it 5-for-5!

Is another game I’ve circled on the calendar as I’d love to see “the Boss” Hossa and the rest of the ’Hawks give the Penguins, especially Cindy Crosby, a similar beatdown that they have delivered to the Sharks and Flames. Hossa first regular season game back at the Igloo. Should be a good one for sure.

One drawback to cheering for the Canadian Olympic team will be having to, ‘sigh’, root for Crosby to do well. Still holding out hope that Yzerman can trade him to team U.S.A. for Kane, or leave him off the team altogether but that would be just wishful thinking.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone south of the border. Enjoy the turkey!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!
