The Critic Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 They STOLE a game from the Admirals tonight. Got outplayed the entire night and scored a cheapy with 2 seconds left to force OT. Scored a sweet goal to win it in OT, but still a TERRIBLE game. Greg Hawgood is f***ing AWFUL. What a slow-footed sloppy team, with ZERO offensive pressure. TWO 5-on-3's that lead to NOTHING. Nothing I saw tonight raised my opinion about this year's Wolves team. They're pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'm confused... So did they win or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Dude, it's not the NHL. What the f*** do you expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Dude, it's not the NHL. What the f*** do you expect? Dude, I didn't say the ENTIRE AHL sucks. I said the WOLVES suck. With the exception of the last 1.8 seconds of the 3rd period and one turnover in OT, the Admirals played a VERY good game. They're faster than the Wolves, apply more consistent offensive pressure, force more turnovers in the open ice and hit hard. There's a reason that they won the AHL championship last season. They're a very good minor-league hockey team. And THAT's "what the f*** I expect" when I see a game in a league that's "not the NHL". The NHL is NOT the only place to see competitive hockey. I'm just disappointed in how the Wolves have started this season - I'm not optimistic about them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'm confused... So did they win or not... Yeah, they stole the game 3-2 in OT. Got outplayed throughout, but Travis Roche tied the game on a goal-mouth scramble with 2 seconds left in the game. Then Roche scored a NICE goal off a turnover at center ice in OT to win it.

The Critic Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 I actaully watched most of the game, and they did suck it up. Very sloppy play, especaillay on the PP. Kari Lethonen hasnt exactly been steller either, and he is the best player in AHL. Will see if Chelli helps them out at all. I think Chelios will help them out in two ways: 1. He can set an example for the young players on conditioning and hard work. 2. Hopefully he can give John Anderson a reason to keep Greg "No Good" Hawgood's tired old weak ass ON THE BENCH. He's constantly out of position and can't skate well enough to get back into position. He's also worthless on the power play, as he has NO shot from the point at all AND isn't a great passer either. If Anderson pairs Chelios with NoGood, then Cheli will be of NO help at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Chelios is playing for the Wolves?? So, technically wouldn't that make him Predators property? Or is the AHL no longer affiliated with the NHL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Chelios is playing for the Wolves?? So, technically wouldn't that make him Predators property? Or is the AHL no longer affiliated with the NHL? Just because you play for a hockey minor league team, doesn't make you property of their big league team. The agreements have the big team sending a set amount of players and money and equiptment. Unlike baseball, they don't control all personel.

MurcieOne Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Honestly.... it's minor league Hockey, not much more than a novelty. Critic don't lose any sleep over the Chicago Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
