May as well have been, I can still vividly remember my reactions to different parts of the game.

What you expect?

Q thinks his pal goat man Handzus is a #2 center based off the lucky charms from him last season.

Lucky, I'll be in class and then on a train, at the least the banner raising will delay the game long enough for me to maybe see the end.

 

[Jerry Cortez211]

Time to defend the cup!

 

[Ares]

It really does feel like yesterday we won the damned thing.... last year's start off winning streak, President's Cup, comeback against DET, won Da Cup..... gonna be hard to outshine last season.... TIME FOR DA FACEOFFZZZ AND DA BOARD BATTLEZZZZ AND DA STUFFZZZZ!

They haven't even played a game yet and you're already bitchin.....

 

[Gunzaan]

I will be there

 

[Patatoe]

Will the banner raising ceremony start around 7:00? Or will they have it beforehand and then have the game start at 7:00?

This says for fans to be seated by 6:30 for the ceremony. My guess is that things (including the start of the game) will run late, as they almost always do with these ceremonies.

Should be a lot of fun.

It ain't the regular season til Serious starts bitching. Good times.

Hopefully the Hawks can reverse the recent trend of teams raising a banner but then dropping the game.

They will. Hawks. 3-1.

 

[Ares]

So who gets first goal for the Hawks this year?

I think it will be Oduya or Hammer.... someone you may not expect

Just for sheer hilarity, I want it to be Bollig.

In reality, though, I'll go with Bickell tapping home a rebound off a Kane wrist shot.

 

[KBIB]

I will enjoy this considering that Kessel re-up just made Toews and Kaner 9 mil a year players in a few.....




CHAMPS!!!

I think everyone in Chicago should commit to spend a fortune on Hawks gear, the league's revenue goes up, which will also make the salary cap go up.

 

[Diehardfan]

If all things stay the same, which they almost never do, I really want to see a dynamic PP this year. These things tend to run in cycles where point shots that almost never go through are now finding a way to the net, delections go in instead of wide and rebounds are suddenly there for the taking. If these things even out from
the last couple of years, we might be in for some fun.

Just imagine what this team is capable of if they ever get that PP going......

 

[DewsSox79]

nice to see we are predicted by so many to win the cup again.
