Good win last night against the divisional foe. I'm pleased that we were able to avoid going to overtime, costing the Avs a precious point in the standings. To me, beating our divisional (and to a lesser extent, conference) foes in regulation is going to be a key to our season.

 

The Hawks looked amped up and ready to play, and with the win they need to keep that momentum because the next 3 games are huge for us. We have the top team in the conference, the defending Stanley Cup champs, and our biggest rival. Let's go, Hawks!

 

 

Great pass by Versteeg to set up the 3rd goal.

Nasty hit on Oduja. HOpefully he is OK.

Somone needs to run Corey Perry's b**** ass.

Agreed. He's such a bum and has a reputation of being a baby and a sore loser when they're getting embarrassed.

He has been amazing this year.

Ever since losing at Wpg on Nov 2 to fall to 6-5-1, Hawks have since gone 8-3-0 and scored 40 goals in those 11 games. They're b-a-a-c-c-k-k

Corey Perry is officially on my s*** list. That guy is a total loser. We have one more game with these guys, and I hope someone lights him up.

 

Happy to get the win, too. Hawks are starting to look real good. I'm very excited to see Richards excelling with Kane and Versteeg. They are helping keep the team afloat while the Toews-Hossa-Saad line gets over their scoring funk.

 

Hopefully the Hawks have enough energy to come out tonight and beat the Kings! I know they will be excited for the game... should be a good one tonight.

The Kane Veersteg Richards line clicking again against the Kings . Richards with 2 goals as Hawks lead 3-1 in the 2nd. Rosivak just gave Richards a tap in with a real good pass.

Richards just matched Handzus points total all of last season in 35 less games played...

I recall an intelligent poster saying a while back, don't worry, everything will be fine, they are due.

Aaron rodgers?

A beautiful finish to the road trip. I love how this team tends to bond on the circus trip. This is a great group of guys.

 

2 of the next 3 games are against divisional opponents who are ahead of us in the standings. Time to keep this momentum rolling and get closer to where we need to be; First Place.

That would be a disaster. They obviously were planning on some cap spikes.

If cap doesn't go up, one of Sharp and Seabrook would have to go given their salaries and they can net the most back.

 

You take anything for Bickell and get his 4M cap off the books too. With only 2 years left after this year, a trade might be able to happen.

If the cap doesn't go up a lot, the ability to dump contracts is going to get a lot tougher, league wide.

Yeah, the Hawks aren't gonna be the only team with cap trouble. Around the time of the Voynov accusations, I remember the Kings were like $51 under the cap, or something ridiculously small like that.

 

Hopefully the Hawks can depend on Dale Tallon taking on some more big contracts as a favor down in Florida.

Excellent. It will be nice to have Sharp back on the point soon. If the team keeps playing like this, and the power play gets a boost.... look out NHL.

My personal fave.

 

Montreal Canadiens: I’ve made this recipe way more than any of you. I could easily do it again if I wanted to, but I just haven’t felt like it recently. Still, it was really great when I used to make it all the time a few decades ago. Would you like me to tell you about it? Let me tell you about it … [Click to expand comment. 72,000 more words.]
