So the question is,
will the Hawks remember the lesson from Columbus, and begin the game dumping and chasing hard, or will they still spend the game trying to be cute through the neutral zone and generating zilch 5 on 5?
The quest for the perfect play
Is starting to get old and costing them chances. Like you said, they need to quit being cute and just get it in the zone and on net.

Byfuglien needs to go!!!!
what is going on with my Blackhawks.? Yes we have been getting 30 shots or more per game, but out of those, we have been getting maybe 4 or 5 quality scoring chances…Guys and Byfuglien in particular….we are not gonna score on many NHL goalies with 50 foot slap shots with no one in front to screen…Get it through your heads….Way to pad these goalies save percentages and goals against averages!!!!Please tell me why Dustyn BUM lien continues to pull power play time and time on the ice when we are down by a goal or 2He should be the last one to see the ice…Why doesnt Coach Q see what we all see? I am sick of it..This game was over 5 minutes in…You cant go down by a goal or two against one of the best defensive organizations of all time and wxpect to win. Especially taking 30 to 50 foot shots on one of the best goaltenders to play the game…Makes me sick…I dont wish harm on any player, but that seems the only way to get Fuck NUT #33 off of the ice…Please someone take a ten stride charging penalty on him when he most surely will drop his stick for no reason during a play….. I especially like his move when the Blackhawks need a goal and he skates over the blue line in the other teams zone on the right side and takes a 50 foot slap shot that usually goes wide or above the net…Seriously, watch him do this…he does it every game….He is worthless and I think he is bad Monjo for the whole team….We look bad,….NOT how I wanted or thought we would look heading into the playoffs…And please dont say Huet has played any where near as good as Khabibulin!!!! Say what you want against Khabi, he has played consistent and doesnt hardly ever give up a soft goal. He is never out of position…Huet is always out of position…I dont mind Huet, but please dont compare the two with a straight face…Khabibulin will prove himself in the playoffs, which he has never been able to do with the Blackhawk teams that have played in front of him his first 2 years.. In Khabi’s first 2 seasons, we were the most penalized team and the second most penalized team…It wouldnt have mattered if we had the Great Patrick Roy in the net….No goalie is gonna succeed in that situation.. Go Hawks…loets turn it around….and That Nut sack Byfuglien needs to go, he really doesnt know how to play hockey…
going to the game,
anyone know of a decent bar near the game? being st. paddy’s maybe not irish-
near the game?
I think you might want to ask someone over at In Lou We Trust for that…
As for one in Chicago, good luck – all the bars around here are going to be insane
The Pru Center..........
…….is in downtown Newark. You really don’t need to know much more than that.
Since the Pru went in a few years back, I think the immediate area has changed, but you might be better served drinking in Manhattan and catching the train to the game.
"Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle." ~ George Burns
I may need to drink heavily during tonight's game
Hawks loss + Vancouver win = tie for 4th (I think the Hawks get the breaker currently, but still).

Going on a limb- Hawks win 3-2!!!
If the Hawks lose tonight at the Rock you can definitely blame me for guaranteeing a win on the road tonight. But if you look at the stats (here he goes again) the numbers are in favour of the Hawks. The Sharks, Wings, and Hawks have all had 9-game winning streaks only to lose the next game. The Sharks also had a 9-game winning streak at home only to fall to Nashville 4-3 in OT. The Devils and Canucks enter tonight with both having 9-game winning streaks at home thus I’m predicting a Hawks win and a Canucks loss. Not to mention that the Hawks are due for a 1st goal and if they get it NJ is only 12-17-1 when trailing first, and are a meager 6-17-0 when trailing after 2. So LET’S GO HAWKS!!!
Keep in mind this is game one of a back to back
and the start of our longest roadtrip the rest of the season (2 games.) Seeing Brodeur and the Devils style and then a Columbus team with a lot to play for and one night after Marty we get Mason. This is going to be a test to see if this team has any life.

Hope for post-game analysis!!!
Mjthor it really is time you grew up a little really bud. The constant recs and insults is getting annoying. It looks like chicagokill had to put another post piece just to calm down another one of your arguements. I know you HATE ME, and really any more I could care less notice how I have not replied to any of your pathetic attempts to insult me. But your actions are infair to CHICAGOKILL and SAMFELS who take time to set up this type of forum. I could care less if you showed me some respect but show some respect for them. STOP having conflicts with everyone who posts here. Remember: If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all! Not trying to be a ‘dick’ , just asking for a little respect towards others! You basically RUINED an informative forum based on ‘Discussion on Guidelines’ with your obsessive ignorant behaviour. Either stop fighting or GET LOST! Nobody needs this SHIT anymore, your basically internet-bullying!!!
will you two please stop bickering in the comments and just make out already? We’re all waiting for it

How much of this slump can be attributed to Sharp Shooter being on the rack? Doesn’t fix the defense, sure, but I can’t help but think that this is part of the problem, inasmuch as Sharp isn’t part of the solution.

Sharp is a damn good defensive forward.. and obviously good offensively. So I hope he helps a lot when he gets back. It’ll be good to see what Mono-Man can do tomorrow too
So sorry

always shooting wide...
Seems like that is our modo this year….Most of our good scoring chances are shot wide….Maybe we should try to shoot at the net in warm ups instead of trying to hit the posts……….
Campbell???
What have you thought of Campbells play lately? I have been a bit disappointed lately….Oh look, its that knucklhead 33 on the ice again…

What "Q" needs to do
What Q needs to do to spark this team, is to call up a defenseman and two forwards from Rockford, and bench Dustin Byfuglien, Brian Campbell, and Patrick Kane. The next time that Kane and Campbell actually hit somebody, will be the 1st time! Make the rest of the team realize that lackadasical play will not be tolerated, and ANYBODY on this dmn team can be sit down!
You can't seriously expect Kane to hit anybody
Well, I guess he could hit them, but it probably wouldn’t have any effect. He’s quite a bit smaller than a lot of the guys he plays against. He’s 5’ 10" and 175 lbs. What’s he really going to do against a guy who is, say, Eager’s size: 6’2", 220 lbs?
