The Critic Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 31, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) Rain's going to wash out this year's "Winter Classic." Okay by me, I don't need to see another Crosby/Ovechkin televised lovefest anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the best battles in sports. The series 2 years ago was nothing short of absolutely epic. Plus, the winter classic is awesome since they have kept it at one game per year. It's not like it's the Favre love fest where the love isn't deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd outdoor game isn't hyped at all, and there's only one new year's day, as long as they keep that going, it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That save when Stalberg had the open net and Bolland tipped it was ridiculous. Just when it seems like the Hawks have it figured out, bam, a 3-game losing streak.

SoxAce Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Quennville had a poor coaching game overall. Stalberg-Dowell-Skille line was good the whole night and you take out Dowell in the 3rd? (though Stalberg and Skille are always good together when they are paired up) Damn.. Hawks are now 0-2 without Toews. (though you could say 0-3 cause Toews got injured when the Hawks were winning 1-0 in that game vs St. Louis before losing the game) Also nice to see Jordan Hendry on the ice as a defense-men. To me, he's better than Boynton and Cullimore, but is always in the dog house for whatever reason. Edited January 3, 2011 by J.Reedfan8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Kane was useless tonight. If he's still hurt, he shouldn't be playing, because him at whatever % that is actually hurts the team and it's more of a risk to injure it further.

southsider2k5 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 If the playoffs started today the Hawks would be two points out of going, sitting in the 11th seed. They also have played more games than the teams sitting in the 6th to 10th slots. This team needs to forget about repeating, and start working on not getting left out.

LittleHurt05 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 2 for 2 on the power play so far. Fun to watch Hossa, Sharp, Kane, & Toews all on the ice together. Please dont blow this f***ing game. Do it for the moms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Big game-winner for Toews. I can't even stay up past 10 PM anymore, so I missed it.

I was very happy to see Toews get the tally for that one... he's really adopted the captain title seriously and is showing our other "stars" that you can play through pain. I hope everyone voted for Sharp for the All-Star team. Luckily last night was the last night for voting so he gave some an even bigger reason to vote.
