What a complete turd of a game from St. Louis. If this is what we can expect from them with their new coach, they can fuck themselves till next winter. Won’t even get into the fact that it was a Hawk that got the penalty every time after retaliating for a Blues cheap shot, that’s just the way it usually goes. Davis “Ogilthorpe” Payne can eat a big one. Props to Eager, Toews, Kopezky, and Sopel tonight. Glad we got the two points, get out of St. Louis, they can keep their shell of a town and their goon squad.

That’s all I can be after seeing the Blues goon it up and the Hawks collect all of the penalty minutes.

Fuck St. Louis.

The Weaver hit was clean.

The Jackman one though, was a blatant headshot. A 2 mins for roughing at the least, but deserving of a 5 minute major.

obviously you guys had the better game, but I don’t think it was as lopsided as the score would indicate. Chicago gave as good as it got in terms of physicality, and CHI got the benefit of some soft goals by Conks. Not to mention 2 goals that bounced off of STL D-dmen. Add that to the posts we hit, and this game would have ended a lot differently. The on-ice game would have looked the same, but an inch here or there, and the scoresheet would have been a helluva lot different.

This should set an interesting tone for the 02/03 game.

Absolutely spot on, boys.

I’ve mentioned it before on here and it seems appropriate to mention again now…

Brent Sopel is much more important to this team than Cam Barker with the way it is currently constituted. We played without Hammer (all game) and Barker (through 2 1/2 periods) and Catfish stepped up in all facets.

So happy to see Tkachuk lose teeth…can he actually get uglier? And I loved watching this clearly inferior team try to goon it up only to get it shoved straight back up their cornshoot. Fuck the Blues….too bad you shot your load last year when there was somebody good at the top of the following draft.

………masquerade as an NHL team this evening.

In what had to be one of the most poorly officiated games I’ve EVER seen (two words – DAN MAROUELLI), the Hawks STILL kicked the team from St. Loser all around the rink.

Kane elbowed to the head – NO CALL

Sharp charged – NO CALL

Janssen drops the gloves late in the game (a la Barker after the hit on Sharp), yet he gets nothing (while Barker was ejected and given 7 PIMs).

Toews is crosschecked and goaded into a fight. Where was the pre-fight minor?

And was Eager ejected for kicking Jackman’s ass? Must be a home ice thing in St. Loser…….

All of this and the Lose were offside on their first goal!!!!!!!

Anyway, it was great to see Campbell lay out T.J. O-“he’s a”-shie; never thought I’d see him check anyone, but he totally pancaked that irritating faggot.

From his recap of the game:

“Keith Tkachuk deflected in a power-play goal for the Blues while catching a stick in the face from Huet. Tkachuk was rushed off the ice for treatment before the final seconds ticked away.”

Huh?

I would be beating the bishop to that recap!!! You nailed it and FUCK ST. LOUIS! I loved how the Hawks reacted to the physicality. We are tough. But we aren’t retarded. It’s nice having coach Q in times like these as well as kids that just wanna compete. If the blues hadn’t acted the way they did, what the hell else would we say about them? They gotta make the stat sheet somehow.

Just going out on a limb here, but did the “love letter” Andy Murray left on the desk for coach numb nut write “Praise Jesus i got the fuck out of this shit storm, my advice to you would be to tell the boys to rough up chicago as much as possible, rack up penalties, show the young ones at home how to execute a 5 on 3 PP, it would also bode well to piss off the best team in the league, peace out” ….Numb nut’s pregame speech was simple: “Whoever knocks out Kanes mouthpiece will win this here glazed donut.”

Anyways, I’m kinda drunk. Who am I kiddin’, we’re all family here, mostly…I’m obliterated. I do have one more thing to say to blues fans. And that is…SOPEL AND KOPECKY SCHOOLED YOU. Care to comment on that?

GO HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t keep this up anymore. I’m tired, and there’s too many threads to keep track of. My first love is the Blues, but I’m also a hockey fan overall …and you can’t help but enjoy watching CHI play. You’ve got a good team there.

Enjoy’em while you got them, guys. I really hope we meet in the playoffs – the old playoff series in days of yore were legendary, and it really seems like a new rivalry is starting to take off.

See ya.

Well, the Blues found out the hard way that if you want to take a shot at the best, you best not miss and miss they did. It’s hard to fathom what the Blues actual gameplan was but whatever it was it really didn’t work or it was pathetically executed as the Blues played the role of the Charleston Chiefs.

-Tomas “The Great Kazzoo” Kopecky with back-to-back mutiple point games? Well, it happened and if he had nailed the trick I might have shit myself as well.
-Cristo Huet also was solid and had the misfortune of a couple of bad bounces of against him in this one but was rock solid when the ’Hawks needed him in the 1st. One save in particular won him the “HON of the NIGHT” on TSN.
-Great to see Sharp get up from that cheap shot and nail a couple in the Blues coffin just to stick it to them.

Great to see that the ’Hawks, after the first period debauchery, were able to steady themselves and right the ship and come away with another much needed 2 points on the road. Time to roast Giguere and the Ducks tomorrow at the UC and take over the overall points lead.

Bickell scored tonight for Rockford. TKO had 2 goals. Fraser is on a 3 game point streak.

When this thing got started, I have to admit I was a little worried when I looked around and saw I was the only Hawks fan in section 312. However, things ended VERY well and most of the Blues fans around me were cool. Biggest douches of the night were actually two idiots in Blackhawks shirts (not sweaters) who decided to stand up to flip the bird to the Blues fans in the area while blockings the view of on going play. They were escorted out before they were beaten. A quick note to everyone coming next month: If you’re going to act like this, stay the fuck in Chicago. Not only do you make the rest of us look bad, but I have to deal with Blues fans everyday and would prefer to not be connected with dumbfucks who do shit like that.

Now a few hawks61-style bulleted notes:
- I still say the hit on Sharpie was clean. At worst it was a little high, but that’s it.
-That said, Weaver is a little bitch. If you’re going to hit a skill player at center ice, don’t turtle up when someone comes to make you pay for it.
-Can someone please tell me what the fuck happened on Kaner’s missed open net? I was on the opposite side of the arena. I saw Kane in front of the net with the puck, Conklin behind, and then the lamp didn’t light up. I was confused.
-Toews fighting needs to never happen again.
-I am sad however that Perron and VERSTEEG! didn’t actually throw down.
-Huet looked fucking fantastic when the Blues swarmed (that one time).
-The bad officiating went both ways. Like the phantom roughing call on Walt.
-The next four games between these teams is going to be fan-fucking-tastic.

You know what? I was going to mention how Sopel has been playing pretty solid, fearless hockey lately. Good to see you guys gave him the nod for player of the game.

Best.Write-up.Ever.

Why do I even bother reading Sassone and Kuc?

Thrilled for Catfish, but before we build him a statue next to Jordan, remember we will be painfully reminded from time to time that he is kinda slow and limited.

Soupy may be playing the best hockey of his career- led the team with 27 minutes last night.

Even with Nintendo out, the D didn’t really miss a beat- 22 shots allowed. Dunc n Biscuit killed as usual, except for Keith hilariously falling on his shapely ass. Seebs bogarted some big hits.

Eager has been a force. This guy could yet by a goal-scorer in this league if his brain stays in one piece. His abscence tonight would deflate the 4th line.

I saw one of your fans piss pants drunk yelling shit to like a 7 year old girl.Fuck you all.Your fans are a disgrace to sports.

Showed the team Slap Shot as a source of inspiration.

Did anyone else find the Eager-Crombeen fight hilarious? That little bitch looked absolutely petrified of a guy that isn’t the greatest fighter. Oh and Weaver looking like he was being thrashed around like a ragdoll by the monster that is Cam Barker, which also isn’t the best of fighters.

why would he even throw down the gloves against Backes

Of course the Spartans lost like they always do,but on to the real reason for this post.

I just watched the highlights from the game.

Pang is the biggest douchebag, douchenozzle, douche(insert word here) I have ever heard. Oh yeah he sucked as a goalie too. “Payne is buddies with Bylsma” Holy shit! I think Pang made a bust of this guys dick to use as a microphone.

Weaver’s hit was unnecessary, and is a penalty. Exactly like Kronwall / Havlat in the playoffs. Guys that play like that get what’s coming, just ask Kronwall.

This was the first time they were really challenged physically and I was waiting all season to see how they would react. In the Detroit series they played like youngsters and ran themselves out of the building, tonight they played like veterans and dealt with retarded goons and shitbag officiating without losing their heads. They stuck up for their teammates, killed 7 minute penalties, killed 5 on 3’s, scored a half dozen goals and frankly they took their foot off the gas at the end where they could have had more.

The Blues aren’t much of a hockey team. If only they had better goaltending, better skill players (any?), better passing/shooting/finishing, a few lucky breaks and really, really, one sided officiating they could have been in this game.

The shot of the Hawks bench late in the third said everything about the game, Ladd and Fraser were laughing their heads off and Campbell was singing. These kids have grown up a bit.

And no one’s mentioned the broadcasting gem during the post game Sopel interview when Edzo got tongue tied and meant to talk about the brave men and women “serving their country” but it came out “servicing their country”, which is something entirely different. Bow chica wow wow.

I agree they have young talent, but none are in class of toews or kane. Perhaps in time or draft. Blues still in search key…

6-2 final! put that in your sack and pack it home…. enjoy the smell….

yeah, I forgot the Blues soccer rules… too busy driving their feet up their own asses….

I was baffled about all the posts here by Blues fans, so I went over to look at their site…

Apparently, only one trailer park in St. Louis has Internet…
