mightymikeD

so, how’s Bollig’s TOI looking?
- DesertHawk
  
  5 for fighting, and that’s about all I know.
  - Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)
    
    He had one point blank chance.
    
    That tells you how sloppy the Blues were in the first ten minutes
    - mightymikeD
      
      3.20 according to Slak
- 10thMountainFire
  
  Too high.
  - DesertHawk
    
    The amount of Bollig in the game:
    
    Is too damn high!!!
Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)

Kompon seems… kinda competent.
DesertHawk

His head is the same size as his neck…. weird.
Sparky_The_Barbarian

Twenty minutes of D (and another goal).

Why are they so good at making bad changes?
- flavius
  
  You made my brain hurt
mightymikeD

and there’s the Annoying McDonald Goal for the evening
2883

Sloppy change
Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)

poor crow
- Sparky_The_Barbarian
  
  A defenseman (Kieth) saved a goal in the first, and a defenseman (Leddy) cost him one there. Too bad, cuz otherwise Leddy’s had a good game.
  - Accipiter
    
    Edzo compared him(Leddy) to Coffey, so you know he’s good.
    - 10thMountainFire
      
      I don’t understand what caffeinated beverages have to do with this but fine… whatever.
      - Accipiter
        
        Paul Coffey was not caffeinated, he was clean !!!
      - happyhuman
        
        Like the drink, but spelled different.
  - neverhome30728
    
    Cant blame that on Leddy. That was shitty line change.
- 10thMountainFire
  
  He has played to a level of awesomeness I did not think possible this early.
birdhead

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
The Doctor

I don’t think we’re ever going to see a shutout again. Sheesh. So close.
- 10thMountainFire
  
  So there’s only one thing left to do… win the whole fuckin thing.
  - mightymikeD
    
    exactly
- stacie7
  
  Two regulation points for the Hawks is all I ask for each game
flavius

That little bastard always scores against us
QCBlackhawk

Shit change.
10thMountainFire

Bicks, stop making those passes.
Sparky_The_Barbarian

Sloppy. Exciting, but sloppy.

  Shhhhhhh

  As long as Crow keeps us in each game
Sparky_The_Barbarian

Fuck you, Elliot. Great save.
2883

Kane and Sharp have some really good chemistry
- QCBlackhawk
  
  That looked a whole lot like the first denial in the first period, hit to the glove and all.
- Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)
  
  They’ve had a real nice game.
- justforkicks
  
  the second line has looked better and better since the games have gone on – it looked like a dud in the first game though
Sparky_The_Barbarian

Kia Kar Homie Hamsters!
Always a good omen.

And here we go again. Rally Rats twice in one game. Stacie must love it.

  Maybe they’ll kill the rally monkey.

  Twice? That’s the third time I’ve seen those little bastards.

Can we just call Shattenkirk, Star Trek?

  I call him Shatner Kirk.

    That’s what my brain thinks of every time.

  Only if he proves able to make it with alien babes.

  I like Star Trek too much to do that.

Sparky_The_Barbarian

Crawford a Mishandle….

Let’s just start calling this a Number Three.
10thMountainFire

Crow, I do believe a certain woman on this thread told you to stop going behind the net.
- pierzynskirules
  
  you know he doesn’t listen.
  - 10thMountainFire
    
    He needs a bit more negative reinforcement, methinks.
- stacie7
  
  No one listens to me
Wayfaerer

Maybe Crawford shouldn’t act like he’s on a leisurely stroll every time he plays the puck.
- Sparky_The_Barbarian
  
  His problem is he doesn’t know what he’s going to do when he gets to the puck. He needs to know what he wants to do before he gets there, or simply hammer it down and take a faceoff.
flavius

i got a bad feeling…..needz one moar hawks goalz
mightymikeD

Hitch picking his nose… great.
- 10thMountainFire
  
  Outstanding visual. If any man looks like he does that, it’s him.
- Z-man19
  
  Looking for a sandwich
- Sparky_The_Barbarian
  
  If the special teams keep playing like this, he can pick whatever the hell he wants.
  - mightymikeD
    
    Hitch not Kitch!
  - Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)
    
    I think he was referring to the Dark Lord Hitchcock
    - mightymikeD
      
      he flicked a booger and it went into orbit around him
      - Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)
        
        ahahaha
10thMountainFire

Starting to look ‘prevent defense’, boys. Start your engines the fuck up. now.
- QCBlackhawk
  
  Was just thinking this and cringing.
- Sparky_The_Barbarian
  
  Get it out. Check.
  Get it in deep. Um…
  - 10thMountainFire
    
    Checking the boxes… dangerous.
Sparky_The_Barbarian

If not for Elliot, it could be 6-1
- flavius
  
  And he’s not even Swedish
- 10thMountainFire
  
  Truth.
  
  But if not for Crow, the Blues could be ahead.
  - Z-man19

  Paging the Blue Line Corps. Blue Line Corps, your presence is again requested on the ice.
10thMountainFire

TJ Oshie… misses shot, goes to bench to cry it out.
QCBlackhawk

HNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHH
2883

Another sloppy change
10thMountainFire

Crow’s positioning has made an obvious improvement since last season. He’s not flopping, he’s not being caught on the ice after a rebound bounces into the slot… I like this Crow. He looks like 2011 Crow.
- Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)
  
  He did get bailed out on that one egregious flop by Keith’s jaw, but overall, yes
- justforkicks
  
  that one stick thing he did to get the puck away from Backes (?) was great. he looks much more solid, despite some moments
  - Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)
    
    I can’t remember a time when he was so good with the poke check
    - Accipiter
      
      There was a time …
Chesterfield King (Chelsdag)

Leddy lookin mighty pretty on those dump ins
- ahnfire
  
  Leddy has been doing decently so far. Maybe the time in the Rock was good for him.
  - flavius
    
    Might get the payoff this year for the pains of rushing his development the past two years…..hoping so, anyway.
Sparky_The_Barbarian

Crow!

  I like this Crow more.

“Shattenkirk’s long one blocked by Keith”

Oh yeah, I forgot about Foley’s unintentional innuendos.

Too many clearing attempts are only making it to center. Better than nothing, but we need to get it in deep.

Hawks squarely on their own laurels this late… I’m getting progressively more pissed.

Maybe it’s these fucking Tony O commercials.

  Crow deserves some love for his play in the third.
  - birdhead
    
    (Those were the official ones, obvs, not mine) About to go watch it now. I’m glad I’ve had all this warning about the third period. I’ll just spend it staring at Crow instead of worrying about OT.

        I really liked it. It could have been a cash in “rah-rah go america” movie, when instead it’s really a detective story that questions the cost of our successes. You may not agree with everything in it, but it is very thought provoking

for my money bolland was the first star for shadowing that progeny all night
did something happen to kane after the halfway point?
he disappeared pretty much
maybe being part of our makeshift checking line gassed him
just wondering if anyone noticed anything
i wish we took better advantage of the blues being out of breath in the third but still
big time win for a big time team
- PainSt
  
  i meant prodigy not progeny of course
Sparky_The_Barbarian

It was movie night. Missed most of the first two periods. This is the first time I have ever recorded a game and they won.
Sparky_The_Barbarian

When I first looked at the schedule, I thought, “That could well be an 0-3 start.” I have not been so glad to be wrong since I thought, “She’ll never marry me.”

  Detroit? St. Louis? Be more specific.
  - justforkicks
    
    anyone not the hawks. but in this case the blues and love to see crow looking good tonight
    - 10thMountainFire
      
      Crow looked all kinds of great.
      - justforkicks
        
        seriously, some really super moments. definitely waht i like to see. the third period was gross, but i’ll take it
      - 10thMountainFire
        
        I don’t recall Crow having even one game this well-played all last season.
      - justforkicks
        
        I’m pretty sure you’re right. This was like flashback to 2011
- Z-man19
  
  you hiding out during the games again?
  - justforkicks
    
    nah, i’m at sch for that. i’ve tried but can’t follow along on these threads during the gdts, so i’m at the old site for that.
- DesertHawk
  
  read that as loose for some reason, was really confused.
Sparky_The_Barbarian

Outshot 34-26 and win. Good job, Crow.
Z-man19

Crow stopped 32 of 34, that’ll do Crow, that’ll do
- 10thMountainFire
  
  I think about 30 of those shots came in the third period…
  - Z-man19
    
    I think I heard 15
    - flavius
      
      16, but who’s counting…..that last 5 minutes was damned impressive
      - Z-man19
        
        I’d rather Crow not have to work so hard but glad he did
      - 10thMountainFire
        
        I agree. Nice to see him thrown in the fire and respond with a blow torch.
    - Accipiter
      
      But did we out HIT them ???
      - Z-man19
        
        we out hit the back of the net
- The Doctor
  
  He was solid. If he can keep that up, we’ll be set. Hopefully the Hawks can keep up the solid team D they have had through the first 2.5 games.
- Joe Banks
  
  Way to go Crow! Stud!

Just saw the video of Kane’s goal…that leaping hug he gave Sharp had better end up on Hockey Hugs!
Oh and I guess the goal was pretty nice too.
- justforkicks
  
  I think we’re all in agreement on that one! what a goal and what a hug!
- ahnfire
  
  we all know that getting on hockey hugs is the real victory.

  bolly a whole 20% above his own line. NICE!
  - ahnfire
    
    I was so surprised we won any faceoffs, since all I could see from my stream was constant FO losses.
  - girlphoenix
    
    he won 8/10 in the third. i couldn’t believe it when i was typing it up
- 10thMountainFire
  
  Jonathan Toews, you are SICK!

    - 10thMountainFire
      
      Well done.

  They only had one giveaway? Surprising.
- flavius
  
  Bolly did what? Nice…..
- justforkicks
  
  with some toi and other stats from yahoo
  - Sparky_The_Barbarian
    
    Low D man for TOI, Rosey, still with over 14 minutes. The John Scott era is truly over.
    - justforkicks
      
      i’m a little iffy on some of the toi for the forwards, but whatever. its better then it has been for 2 years running
- Sparky_The_Barbarian
  
  I’m willing to bet most of those giveaways came in the third.

If you include playoff games, it has been 93 games since the Blackhawks last recorded a shutout. The last being an April 21, 2011 win in game 5 of the Vancouver Canucks series.

If you don’t include the playoffs, it has been 94 games. The last coming in a March 23, 2011 win against the Florida Panthers.

In those 94 games, the Blackhawks have gained a total of 118 out of 188 possible points. That’s 62.7% of possible points.

For reference, here are comparable numbers for the last 94 games of the Blues, Predators, and Red Wings:
The Blues have earned 126 points or 67%.
The Predators have earned 121 points or 64.3%.
The Red Wings have earned 113 points or 60.1%.

I don’t know where I’m going with that, but its probably useful to someone
- justforkicks
  
  as long as we’re winning i can deal with no shutouts
- jekyll1489
  
  For those wondering, the longest non-shutout streak is 264 games co-owned by the 81-85 Oilers, and the 86-89 Kings.

    Goaltending was almost non-existent in the 80′s.

    81-85 Oilers might have been a contending team with a goalie….

Great game. Good to see Kane notch again. Now will someone in the media acknowledge that Kane had wrist surgeory last year, and we can put that whole “down year” behind us.
- pompoon
  
  I fear many will be too busy explaining that his trade value is high right now

  plus the playing a position he doesn’t play! i was happy when edzo mentioned it during the broadcast

      Well….after posting the question, I noticed the pull down under “discussion” and switched to “newest”….i either hit it by mistake or it defaults to another choice above some message count….
