This team passes the puck so well. It's beautiful to watch. Kane with another assist.

3-0. Niemi playing great. Hawks now going on a PP. 4-0! Back to back goals by Hossa.

Hinrich for Butler would be amazing.

1-0 Hawks. Versteeg puts it in with some nifty passes from Byfuglien and Madden. 2-0 on Brouwer's goal. Now a 7 game point streak for Kane on the assist.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) I saw Eager in the game, what happened with him? Did they rescind the penalty? Ya, league reviewed it and rescinded it. They interviewed him in the 1st intermission and he explained that he received the match penalty because his hand was wrapped while he was fighting at the end of the game. During his first fight, he cut his hand up pretty bad and got it taped up, then at the end of the match, he drew blood and by league rules, if you fight with anything on your hand, it's a match penalty, at least thats what he said he was told. Uneventful 1st period against Anaheim tonight. I will say, Sopel has been great on both ends last night and so far tonight. And Hendry has done a nice job as well.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 3, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) I remember once at a buddy's place, a guy once told us that he thought that the progressive chick was so hot. The rest of us had no idea how to respond to that. I don't think she's good looking at all really, but something about her makes me want to give it to her.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 3, 2010 -> 10:54 AM) Tarantino credits spaghetti westerns as his major influence in most movies. Kill Bill 2 is a prime example. Ah, never saw either of the Kill Bill's, for some reason I was just never intrigued despite good reviews and recommendations from others. Will have to watch them soon. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 3, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) I can't wait.

Anyone say that chick from the Progressive commercials yet?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 11:46 PM) I'm about to watch Inglorious Basterds for the first time, I'm excited. Umm, wow. I thought it was freaking amazing. The opening scene was absolutely brilliant. Landa's character was the highlight of the movie, no doubt. Intimidating and enthralling. The opening scene, IMO, was a total homage to Sergio Leone and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. VERY similar, even down to the Ennio Moriccone-esque musical selection. That was really awesome to see. Totally captured me from the opening moment.

I'm about to watch Inglorious Basterds for the first time, I'm excited.

Brad Miller, what a classy guy, doing the post-game interview the the 3rd largest wad of dip ever known to mankind.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 11:22 PM) They said it was actually a match penalty which is past a instigator. He is actually suspended indefinitely, pending his hearing with the league office. Well that's just stupid. I don't think he'll be gone very long.

QUOTE (SockMe @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) and what happened to Eager? i tuned in at the end and Pat kept talking about how Eager will be suspended until the league reviews the play or something? Got called for a fighting instigator penalty with like 3 minutes left which is an automatic 1 game suspension.

Oh my goodness, what an amazing pass by Hossa to Sharp to make it 5-2!

QUOTE (SockMe @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) how did the Blues get a 7 minute power play in the 1st? Sharp gotten taken out, Barker tried to defend him and got 5 minute fighting and a 2 minute instigator penalties on top of a 10 minute misconduct and a 10 minute game misconduct.

St. Louis is really pissing me off. Play some f***ing hockey. They could give a s*** less about winning, they're just trying to out-physical the Hawks no matter which way. 3-2 on the Campbell goal! Nice play by Hossa and Kane.

Coke and Hennessey was very good to me.

Oh man, a great play by Toews sets up Kaner for a wide open net and he shanked it. Then Huet gives up a huge rebound and its 2-2. Ugh.

Could the Blues play any dirtier? An elbow to Kane's chin and Sharp gets taken out hard by Weaver. And now a 7 minute power play for STL, nice.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 10:41 PM) I'm not saying that what Leach did is okay because it's not, but is it bad enough to fire him for it? Obviously we don't know all the details, but I've heard it was blown out of proportion by James. I'm very interested to see how this plays out. Personally, I'm a little wary of James b/c I can't imagine any D1 head coach would be dumb enough to do that to a kid, especially one who's dad works for ESPN. But you never know I guess... I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion by the James'. He was in an equipment garage, not in a freaking closet, and according to Leach's attorney, there were 3 people looking over James. It doesn't make sense...oh look, Adam James got a mild concussion, lets go lock him in a closet. WTF?

I'd love to add McGrady. He's always been a favorite of mine, and on top of it, we'd be getting a GIGANTIC amount of cap space for the summer.

Ugh. I'm not used to this team losing.

Niemi is making some amazing saves. Hawks haven't had an sustained pressure in the attacking zone in the 3rd.

5-4? Really? What the hell is going on? f***ing Sopel.
