IGT Chicago Blackhawks @ Minnesota Elves (Wild)

Captain Iago · Feb 28, 2011

Not sure if they will be wearing their elf outfits or not tonight, but goddamn those are some ugly ass uniforms.

Anyhow, discuss the game here. Scott is in and Hendry, Pisani, and Campoli are scratches.

Oops..forgot the date.... :/

I know it would be great if they were higher in the standings, but I'm loving these incredibly meaningful games.

Thought for sure we'd see Turco tonight, but I'm happy to see Crawford get a chance to show his shit in back to back nights.

Toews leads the league in 1st period points.

Sharp follows him in second place.

Interesting.

Captain Iago · Feb 28, 2011

Yah, I didn't know that either...is interesting.

Good lord Frolik. That was a gift.

Captain Iago · Feb 28, 2011

Heh. Scott and Campbell together. Must be the largest range of salary defensive pairing in the league.

We gotta get these two points in REGULAR TIME tonight. So far it just kinda seems like both teams are feeling each other out. Frolik missed a slam dunk too.

Keith! Glove save and a beauty.

Captain Iago · Feb 28, 2011

Keith playing goalie there. Nice swat.

IvyPickin87 · Feb 28, 2011

frolik is fuckin up.

Everyday I'm Byfuglien · Feb 28, 2011

Frolik is reminding me of Samsonov during his time in Chicago.

There's obviously talent there, but his pucks are not finding the back of the net no matter what he does. Frustrating to watch.

I'm enjoying the Bickel Bolland Hossa line.

Everyday I'm Byfuglien · Feb 28, 2011

Dominant first period by the Hawks minus the hitting category.

Leddy and Keith have been great.

Captain Iago · Feb 28, 2011

:yep:

Minne is definitely showing some rust. Bummer we couldn't capitalize.

Took the words out of my mouth had to get one there could be a problem going forward if the wild wake up. Leddy is impressing me i thought he had a good game last night and tonight he looks like he is pickin up right where he left off.
