Wasn't it a 2nd period in St. Louis last year?

Hawks went into the period down 2-0 in the the middle of a vicious slump. Scored 3 goals in the 2nd, won the game, and had a real good stretch for awhile?

It might have sparked something and sent a message earlier in the season.

But now, the team is so deep in horseshit between the standings and the quality of play, that sitting ANYBODY that’s coming even CLOSE to production would be a bad idea.

It was two 2 on 1s

Its a fluke if one doesnt go in.

Theyre not losing because of flukes, theyre losing because SJ has outworked and outhit them all game, which caused a 2-0 lead. You usually dont win when you fall behind 2-0. You can tie it 2-2 but one goal by them and theyre back on top. The problem is every Sharks player is working hard, hitting every chicago player they can, but the blackhawks dont want to hit anyone. Such a soft team.

by jacktheboxboss on Feb 10, 2012 11:10 PM CST reply actions  

Umm

The Hawks have been winning the board battles this entire period, by a huge margin. They are camped in front of the net, and are swarming on the back check. It’s not tough to take rouging penalties or blow your defensive assignment to deliver a “big hit”. it’s dumb and it loses games.

by kcr on Feb 10, 2012 11:13 PM CST up reply actions  

They did win battles

in the 2nd. None in the 1st.

And both periods, the actual hits, the ones that hurt, have been delivered by the Sharks.

by jacktheboxboss on Feb 10, 2012 11:17 PM CST up reply actions  

Seriously?

You’re claiming you know which hits have hurt?

by Skags on Feb 10, 2012 11:18 PM CST up reply actions  

All else being equal

The greater the force delivered, the greater the impact, the greater potential for damage and pain.

Bigger hits tend to hurt more. What Im claiming is that the Sharks have delivered the bigger hits, and in greater quantity. You’re seriously claiming different?

by jacktheboxboss on Feb 10, 2012 11:21 PM CST up reply actions  

Such a soft team.

Ahem, Sharks are 29th in the league in hits. In front of only big bad Buffalo.

Hawks outshot SJ 17-3 in that period. Outworked, huh?

Subjective statistic kept differently in different arenas

I cant tell you what the statkeepers see. I can only tell you the Sharks hit much more and are a much grittier team than Chicago, that Chicago is one of the softest teams in the NHL. Most the Blackhawk fans I know agree with that, too, its just that tonight has been especially bad. I dont know why youre arguing such a widely accepted fact. The Blackhawks are faster and more skilled than almost anyone, but theyre also softer than almost anyone. Those are the pros and cons. Its not all bad but in terms of grit and hitting, its definitely bad.

by jacktheboxboss on Feb 10, 2012 11:26 PM CST up reply actions  

oh, i see what you're doing...

soft = bad. Right? Let’s trade Kane, Sharp and Toews for some bruisers. Heck, we could start by making Scott our new captain and having him play center.

by aeroplane on Feb 10, 2012 11:23 PM CST up reply actions  

I would never trade any of those three

It would be nice if Kane and Sharp hit more, but they create enough offense to more than make up for it. Bickell, Frolik, and many more? They need to hit in games like these.

I dont see what the argument is. Its the truth. I like the team, big fan of the top end guys, but most the depth guys arent pulling their weight physically right now.

by jacktheboxboss on Feb 10, 2012 11:27 PM CST up reply actions  

Thats what I said!

“Subjective statistic kept differently in different arenas.”

Tell it to ChicagoNativeSon. He brought up the completely irrelevant stat. He didnt even look it up right.

Im not going off stats, Im going off what is obvious for everyone to see. The stats tonight just so happen to back up what Im seeing, but I dont base my opinion off faulty stats like ChicagoNativeSon tried to do, but failed embarrassingly by looking up the wrong stats.

Hawks are being outhit tonight, badly. They would win more games, and be better off tonight, if they played harder physically. Thats all Im saying, and most would agree with me. If you dont, youre entitled to your opinion as well.

Im going to sign off. Wasnt looking for childish arguments with people who cant even use stats correctly.

by jacktheboxboss on Feb 10, 2012 11:32 PM CST up reply actions  

By the way ChicagoNativeSon

Through 2 periods, hits are:

San Jose Sharks: 17
Chicago Blackhawks: 11

I think you looked up the wrong stat LOL.

Me: Sharks are outhitting the Blackhawks tonight so badly.
You: Actually the Sharks are 29th in hits this season.
Me: But tonight, it’s 17-11 Sharks, which is what I said.
Your mom: CALLING.

by jacktheboxboss on Feb 10, 2012 11:25 PM CST up reply actions  

meh

Hawks completely outplayed the Sharks in the 2nd, controlling the puck for vast stretches. Sharks better have more hits when one considers they didn’t have the puck often.

by aeroplane on Feb 10, 2012 11:27 PM CST up reply actions  

Not 2nd periods stats

Through 2 periods. Both periods. Sharks had the puck all of the 1st, just like the Hawks had it all of the second. Its not an excuse. You can see the Sharks are seeking out hits and the Hawks arent.
