GDT: Blackhawks @ Canadiens 6:30 PM CSN

[Chief Walking Stick]

Speaking of goalies... would really hate to face Niemi in the playoffs.

 

[LordKOTL]

I would love to see Turco play this game. I mean you need to play this guy sometime before the season ends, or are they waiting to lock up a seed?

Something tells me, Acco, that Dr. Craw is wanting to break Belfour's consecutive starts by a rookie record and the brass will let him do it.

 

[bierboy]

Who the hell is Turco, never heard of the guy. Does he play hockey?

I've heard of him, but I don't think he plays hockey...

 

[bierboy]

Heck yeah we should face him.....we'd get into his head big time....

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Heck yeah we should face him.....we'd get into his head big time....

That sure worked against him last year.

 

[bierboy]

That sure worked against him last year.

You got it all wrong, Stu.....his old team gets into his head....he then becomes the Sharks version of Lu....

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

You got it all wrong, Stu.....his old team gets into his head....he then becomes the Sharks version of Lu....

Well I would hope so... but he's just gotten better as the season has gone on.

 

[R K]

Wishful thinking. 3-1 against the Hawks and 25-4-4 in his last 33 games.



I'd hate to face the Sharks in the first round let alone anytime in the playoffs. Niemi is no Nabokov..

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

I've heard of him, but I don't think he plays hockey...

He has aspirations to take Pierre McGuire's job.

 

[PatrickShart]

Neimi has never lost a playoff series.





And Kruger will be replacing Bolland tonite.





And Sharp will be back by the weekend.

Eh, bring on the Sharks. We chased Niemi last time out....that's still in his head....

 

[roshinaya]

Absolutely shit loss. Again the PP couldn't do shit and one measly point was acquired largely thanks to Craws excellent play. Sure the Hawks had good pressure, but are running into hot goalies or are snakebit.



FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[LordKOTL]

Is there any way we can scratch Keith for a game and teach him how to pass?



Painful loss. Can't blame this one on Craw and Price stoned us well. Maybe some of you saw things I didn't but the only guy that stood out really negatively this game was Keith and his giveaways. Ugh!

 

[roshinaya]

Keith was credited with only 1 giveaway, but then again 25 hits were only credited the whole game, so it might be a case of lazy statkeepers.

 

[the canadian dream]

Point is big..that's really all that matters.



Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalie battle tonight. No doubt about it. Craw and Price played outstanding.



Would have been nice for the Hawks PP to score but these nights will happen esp without Sharp out there.



Thought it was a horrible call in OT on Toews. Not saying Toews didn't clip Subban as he did but Subban sold that like he was kicked by a horse. Should have both been called for that.



Brouwer is done. I don't need a team report to see a major shoulder injury when I see one. That thing is either seperated or broken..aint no bruise there. Not that Brouwer has been great but jesus this is going to be felt also.



Hawks are going to resort to defensive hockey the next 3 games. There just isn't any fire power right now it's gone cold. Guys like Frolik and Bickell are going to have to have the best games of their lives the next 3 games. I have very little confidence in anyone other than Kane/Toews/Hossa up front right now. And Hossa is going MIA again.





Oh and Kane thanks for another great game. You were def noticable tonight.

Agreed about Brouwer. What really sucks about him going down is that it means Stalberg will likely be in the top-6--where he shouldn't be.



I'mn curious as to what the 'hawks will do: Dress Scott or call someone up.

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

I feel very, very, very sorry for Crawford, I hate to say this but the killer of the game...TOEWS, agree or not. yes it was a delayed call but.. jesus can get the puck that was passed to you for the break away, then you go and pull Supan down and then he gets the winning goal..LOL couldn't not have written a better story line ending. Toews need to take out Crawford for dinner the rest of the way to make it up for him. I saw this coming and I said it had a bad feeling..then people said the montreal has been playing shitty ..don't wanna say what were playing like..this team better wake up Wed and win if not...well.

Yeah, definitely separated or broken shoulder for Brouw....and my money is on Scott dressing.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Thanks a lot STH...

What? That puck was a GIVE AWAY from HOSSA!



And FYI Toews was called for TRIPPING. He NEVER touched his skate, Suban caught an edge.



What game were you watching?



Montreal has scored 10 goals in 9 games. I'd say that's not playing well. They do how ever have the most points at home in the NHL this year.

Unfortunately the Hawks have like 10 goals in 15 games.



With Kane the only one on the ice flying this team is in TROUBLE!



Way to go Kaner for #300. 6-7 points off from being a pt per game career so far!
